Abstract

The article presents a factual analysis of the origin and formation of the “party of power” in Russia. The work demonstrates that at all stages the Russian “party of power” was designed and controlled by the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation. The research carried out by the author shows that Russia’s “party of power” does not meet the criteria that would allow to qualify this political party as dominant, in any of its “incarnations”. This fully applies to the United Russia party that does not exert a significant impact on the appointments to the political and administrative positions and does not have any effect on the decisions that determine the state’s policy. The dominance of the United Russia party in the electoral field is ensured primarily by the electoral corruption, as well as by the fact that its “electoral machine” is represented by the system of public authorities at all levels, from federal to local. In turn, the dominance of this party in the State Duma and the rigid and strictly hierarchical administrative structure that it built in the lower chamber of the Russian Parliament allows the Presidential Administration to control the legislative process and parliamentary activity in general. According to the author’s conclusion, the “party of power” is an externally controlled political organization of a party type that protects the interests of Russia’s ruling nomenklatura and implements its goals in the processes of the formation of public authorities through electoral procedures, as well as in the course of the legislative and parliamentary activity. Not only does such an organization fail to meet the criteria of the dominant party, but it also fails to fully correspond to the concept of a political party per se.

俄罗斯“执政党”vs“执政党”
本文对俄罗斯“执政党”的起源和形成进行了事实分析。这项工作表明,在所有阶段,俄罗斯“执政党”都是由俄罗斯联邦总统行政当局设计和控制的。作者进行的研究表明,俄罗斯的“执政党”在其任何“化身”中都不符合使该政党有资格成为主导政党的标准。这完全适用于统一俄罗斯党,该党对政治和行政职位的任命没有重大影响,对决定国家政策的决定没有任何影响。统一俄罗斯党在选举领域的主导地位主要是由于选举腐败,以及其“选举机器”由从联邦到地方各级公共当局系统代表这一事实。反过来,这个党在国家杜马的主导地位,以及它在俄罗斯议会下院建立的僵化而严格的等级行政结构,使总统办公厅能够控制立法过程和议会活动。根据作者的结论,“执政党”是一个受外部控制的政党型政治组织,它在通过选举程序形成公共当局的过程中,以及在立法和议会活动的过程中,保护俄罗斯统治阶层的利益并实现其目标。这样的组织不仅不符合执政党的标准,而且也不完全符合政党本身的概念。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Political Philosophy is an international journal devoted to the study of theoretical issues arising out of moral, legal and political life. It welcomes, and hopes to foster, work cutting across a variety of disciplinary concerns, among them philosophy, sociology, history, economics and political science. The journal encourages new approaches, including (but not limited to): feminism; environmentalism; critical theory, post-modernism and analytical Marxism; social and public choice theory; law and economics, critical legal studies and critical race studies; and game theoretic, socio-biological and anthropological approaches to politics. It also welcomes work in the history of political thought which builds to a larger philosophical point and work in the philosophy of the social sciences and applied ethics with broader political implications. Featuring a distinguished editorial board from major centres of thought from around the globe, the journal draws equally upon the work of non-philosophers and philosophers and provides a forum of debate between disparate factions who usually keep to their own separate journals.
