Journal Title: Jaunųjų mokslininkų darbai - Year 2010, Vol 26, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of this paper was to present the deviant models of democracy in Post-Soviet countries and to analyze the case of Russia transition to democracy process from 1991 to 2010. Two main concepts – “transition to democracy” and “consolidation of democracy” as methodological tools were used while questioning why twenty years after the demise of communism, disappointment with the progress of democratization was evident. According to international survey, of the 12 Soviet republics (the Baltic region excluded) that entered the transition process in 1989–91, just Ukraine and Georgia have kept their transition status. The forecast democratization has failed over 90 percent of the territory and the population of the former Soviet Union. In this paper the case of Soviet Union rights successor – Russia will was analyzed as well. Under Yeltsin Russian society was freer than it is now and was a candidate for democratic transition. But Putin’s era and his political rhetoric promoting such catchphrases as “vertikalnaya vlast” (vertical of power), “diktatura zakona” (dictatorship of law), and “upravlyaemaya demokratiya” (managed democracy) alienated state from a democratic way of development.
