Yeltsin´s Russia. A Case Study of an Ambiguous Regime
Journal Title: StŁ™edoevropské politické studie - Year 2005, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
The article aims at characterization of the political regime of post-soviet Russia in the 90´s from transitological perspective. The authors analyse the Russian political regime during Yeltsin´s rule with regard to several criteria: the character of „ancien regime”; the mode of transition; the position of the new regime on the axes of monism - limited pluralism and mobilisation – depolitization, according to the classical typology of J. J. Linz; the type of political leadership; the influence of international context on the transitional process. The principal aim is to help answer the question what type of political regime Yeltsin´s Russia represents. Besides the typology of J. J. Linz, the article uses methodologically various concepts of hybrid regimes.
