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, the 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.
