The Russian political system: Invitation to the book launch

Explore Russia’s development from the post-Soviet era to a consolidated authoritarian system with authors Petra Stykov and Julia Baumann

We are pleased to invite you to the book presentation of the new work “Das politische System Russlands” by Prof Dr Petra Stykow and Julia Baumann, M.A.. The study book, published by Nomos Verlag, offers a well-founded analysis of Russia’s political system and its development. It takes a look at the changes that have taken place in the country’s institutional architecture, the relevant players in politics and civil society and in public opinion.

In their work, the authors, Prof. Dr Petra Stykow and Julia Baumann, M.A., present their research findings from the perspective of institutionalist authoritarianism research. They interpret Russia’s post-Soviet development from an under-institutionalised pluralistic to a consolidated authoritarian system and decipher the inner logic of the patronal regime.

This book is aimed at students of social sciences, lecturers and those interested in Russian and international politics and offers a well-founded insight into Russia’s political landscape.
