This book discusses state-periphery relations from the view-point
of a reindeer husbandry community in the Russian Far North
(Murmansk Region). The time is the current period of Putin-led
Russia. The analysis is based on the premise that the mode of
current top-power governance can be described as selective
de-centralization. Below a certain level of state power interests,
conflicts get resolved in favour of local communities. That gains
support for the supreme leadership, and reproduces a Soviet-like
reality. Termed sovkhoism, the latter holds the Soviet
state-farm (sovkhoz) as creating an ideal socio-economic
environment. When issues are of significant interest to superior
power, selection favours cavalier bypassing of people-friendly
concerns. At this level, power acts in an authoritarian mode,
favouring the interests of state power structures in conjunction
with the upper tiers of the loyal oligarchate. It is shown how this
governing mode contains significant potential for escalating centre
vs. periphery tensions.
