Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

"Moscow in Movement" is the first exhaustive study of social
movements, protest, and the state-society relationship in Vladimir
Putin's Russia. Beginning in 2005 and running through the summer of
2013, the book traces the evolution of the relationship between
citizens and their state through a series of in-depth case studies,
explaining how Russians mobilized to defend human and civil rights,
the environment, and individual and group interests: a process that
culminated in the dramatic election protests of 2011-2012 and their
aftermath. To understand where this surprising mobilization came
from, and what it might mean for Russia's political future, the
author looks beyond blanket arguments about the impact of low
levels of trust, the weight of the Soviet legacy, or authoritarian
repression, and finds an active and boisterous citizenry that
nevertheless struggles to gain traction against a ruling elite that
would prefer to ignore them.
On a broader level, the core argument of this volume is that
political elites, by structuring the political arena, exert a
decisive influence on the patterns of collective behavior that make
up civil society--and the author seeks to test this theory by
applying it to observable facts in historical and comparative
perspective.
"Moscow in Movement" will be of interest to anyone looking for a
bottom-up, citizens' eye view of recent Russian history, and
especially to scholars and students of contemporary Russian
politics and society, comparative politics, and sociology.

A fascinating, bottom-up exploration of contemporary Russian
politics that sheds new light on why Putin's grip on power is more
fragile than we think "Putin v. the People wrestles with perhaps
the central conundrum of contemporary Russia: the endurance of
support for Putin amid deepening disillusionment with the present
and pessimism about the future."-Daniel Beer, The Guardian What do
ordinary Russians think of Putin? Who are his supporters? And why
might their support now be faltering? Alive with the voices and
experiences of ordinary Russians and elites alike, Sam Greene and
Graeme Robertson craft a compellingly original account of
contemporary Russian politics. Telling the story of Putin's rule
through pivotal episodes such as the aftermath of the "For Fair
Elections" protests, the annexation of Crimea, and the War in
Eastern Ukraine, Greene and Robertson draw on interviews, surveys,
social media data, and leaked documents to reveal how hard Putin
has to work to maintain broad popular support, while exposing the
changing tactics that the Kremlin has used to bolster his
popularity. Unearthing the ambitions, emotions, and divisions that
fuel Russian politics, this book illuminates the crossroads to
which Putin has led his country and shows why his rule is more
fragile than it appears.
