Post-Communist Russia is an instance of the phenomenon of
authoritarian modernization project, which is perceived as a set of
policies intended to achieve a high level of economic development,
while political freedoms remain beyond the current modernization
agenda or are postponed to a distant future. Why did Russia (unlike
many countries of post-Communist Europe) pursue authoritarian
modernization after the Soviet collapse? What is the ideational
agenda behind this project and why does it dominate Russia's
post-Communist political landscape? What are the mechanisms of
political governance, which maintain this project and how have they
adopted and absorbed various democratic institutions and practices?
Why has this project brought such diverse results in various policy
arenas, and why have the consequences of certain policies become so
controversial? Why, despite so many controversies, shortcomings and
flaws, has this project remained attractive in the eyes of a large
proportion of the Russian elite and ordinary citizens? This volume
intended to place some of these questions on the research agenda
and propose several answers, encouraging further discussions about
the logic and mechanisms of the authoritarian modernization project
in post-Communist Russia and its effects on Russia's politics,
economy, and society.
