This study demonstrates how the emergence of private property and a
market economy after the Soviet Union's collapse enabled a degree
of freedom while simultaneously supporting authoritarianism. Based
on case studies, Vladimir Shlapentokh and Anna Arutunyan analyze
how private property and free markets spawn feudal elements in
society. These elements are so strong in post-Communist Russia that
they prevent the formation of a true democratic society, while
making it impossible to return to totalitarianism. The authors
describe the resulting Russian society as having three types of
social organization: authoritarian, feudal, and liberal. The
authors examine the adaptation of Soviet-era institutions like
security forces, police, and the army to free market conditions and
how they generated corruption; the belief that the KGB was
relatively free from corruption; how large property holdings merge
with power and necessitate repression; and how property relations
affect government management and suppression.
