Protests in today’s Russia are still influenced by trends emerged in the 2000s. According to Graeme B. Robertson, in the second half of the 2000s, the repertoire of the Russian protest changed and direct actions were replaced by symbolic actions. The article argues that protest trends and changes in the repertoire of actions were accompanied by the formation of widespread political perceptions among protesters. These perceptions reflected and influenced transformations of Russian protest movements. The article analyzes political discourses of three lifestyle media outlets, namely Afisha, Bol’shoi Gorod, Esquire, GQ and Epic Hero. All of them drew attention to protests and elaborated their own vision of preferable protest methods. This vision denounced direct actions and advocated constructive and non-antagonistic relations between protesters and the authorities.
今天俄罗斯的抗议活动仍然受到21世纪初出现的趋势的影响。根据格雷姆·B·罗伯逊的说法,在21世纪下半叶,俄罗斯抗议的曲目发生了变化,直接行动被象征性行动所取代。文章认为,抗议趋势和行动方式的变化伴随着抗议者中广泛的政治观念的形成。这些看法反映并影响了俄罗斯抗议运动的转变。本文分析了三家生活方式媒体的政治话语,即Afisha、Bol'shoi Gorod、Esquire、GQ和Epic Hero。他们都提请人们注意抗议活动,并阐述了自己对更可取的抗议方法的看法。这一愿景谴责了直接行动,并主张抗议者与当局之间建立建设性和非敌对关系。

Consolidating the Putin Regime: The 2020 Referendum on Russia’s Constitutional Amendments 巩固普京政权:2020年俄罗斯宪法修正案公投

In July 2020, Russian voters gave strong support to a package of constitutional reforms that reconfigured the Russian political system and enshrined social guarantees and conservative identity values, consolidating the regime that has been built over a 20-year period. This was achieved through an alteration that ‘zeroed’ presidential terms that commenced before the constitutional change, potentially allowing President Vladimir Putin to overcome term limits and continue in office beyond 2024. The article explains how such a far-reaching and important change was successfully endorsed by the Russian electorate. The analysis shows that the main explanation rests with variations in voting patterns across the regions, a pattern that has been evident in previous Russian elections and resulted in strong pro-Putin support. The article also evaluates questions raised about the legitimacy of the result, and its long-term significance for the Russian political system.
2020年7月,俄罗斯选民对一揽子宪法改革给予了大力支持,这些改革重新配置了俄罗斯的政治体系,并将社会保障和保守的身份价值观纳入其中,巩固了历时20年建立起来的政权。这是通过修改宪法之前开始的总统任期“零”来实现的,这可能使弗拉基米尔·普京总统克服任期限制,并在2024年之后继续执政。这篇文章解释了如此深远而重要的变革是如何成功地得到俄罗斯选民的支持的。分析显示,主要原因在于各地区投票模式的差异,这种模式在之前的俄罗斯选举中很明显,并导致了亲普京的强烈支持。文章还评估了对选举结果的合法性提出的质疑,以及它对俄罗斯政治制度的长期意义。

A Treaty for the Rich and Politically Loyal? Explaining the Bilateral Center-Region Treaties in Post-Soviet Russia 富人和政治忠诚者的条约?后苏联时期俄罗斯双边中心区域条约的解释

This paper studies the signing of bilateral treaties between the federal and regional governments of Russia in the period of 1994–1998. Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis of 64 cases suggests that by signing bilateral treaties in exchange for political support President Yeltsin built a broad coalition with subnational leaders. This strategy allowed Yeltsin to win the 1996 presidential election but, in the long run, contributed to the preservation of authoritarian enclaves in Russia. The results are in line with the argument that authoritarian consolidation in Russia during the 2000s was deeply embedded in the center-region relations of the 1990s.
本文研究了1994-1998年俄罗斯联邦政府和地方政府签订双边条约的情况。对64个案例的模糊集定性比较分析表明,叶利钦总统通过签署双边条约以换取政治支持,与地方领导人建立了广泛的联盟。这一策略使叶利钦赢得了1996年的总统选举,但从长远来看,这有助于维护俄罗斯的独裁飞地。这一结果与俄罗斯在2000年代的威权巩固深深植根于20世纪90年代的中心地区关系的观点一致。

Russia’s 2020 Constitutional Reform: The Politics of Institutionalizing the Status-Quo 俄罗斯2020年宪法改革:使现状制度化的政治

The articles in this issue explore the longer-term implications of Russia’s 2020 Constitutional Reform process. Assessing constitutional change from different theoretical and empirical approaches, these authors find that the constitution largely codified the status-quo as it had evolved over the past decade. The resulting institutional changes solidified the personalist political system that concentrates power in one leader. These reforms also created new mechanisms to preclude elite defection and generate societal quiescence. At the same time, the three-staged reform process that included formal adoption, national vote, and legal reconciliation, introduced new political risk by raising societal expectations, reinforcing cleavages through patriotic legitimization strategies, introducing new rigid structures, and relying on personalism and networks over institutional governance. These risks do not predict state failure but they suggest new challenges that will continue to shape Russian political development.
本期文章探讨了俄罗斯2020年宪法改革进程的长期影响。从不同的理论和经验方法评估宪法的变化,这些作者发现,宪法在过去十年的演变中,在很大程度上编纂了现状。由此产生的制度变化巩固了将权力集中在一个领导人身上的个人主义政治制度。这些改革还创造了新的机制,以防止精英背叛,并产生社会平静。与此同时,包括正式采用、全民投票和法律和解在内的三阶段改革进程,通过提高社会期望、通过爱国合法化战略加剧分裂、引入新的刚性结构以及依赖个人主义和网络而不是机构治理,带来了新的政治风险。这些风险并不预示着国家的失败,但它们表明,新的挑战将继续影响俄罗斯的政治发展。

From Constitution to Law: Implementing the 2020 Russian Constitutional Changes 从宪法到法律:实施2020年俄罗斯宪法改革
IF 0.8 Q3 POLITICAL SCIENCE Pub Date : 2021-03-30 DOI: 10.30965/24518921-00601008

Although 4 July 2020 saw the coming into force of constitutional changes in Russia, this was far from the end of the story. Most clearly, these changes to the 1993 constitution required implementation, including through amendments to, and the writing of new pieces of, federal legislation. In part, this process was the mundane work of legal bureaucrats, tweaking and creating many pieces of legislation to reflect the new constitutional text. But the implementation process also reveals much more about the broader constitutional reform project. This article reviews the implementation process, discussing its complexity, the improvisation shown when fleshing out certain new constitutional details, its relationship with other political developments, and the chasm laid bare between Putin’s promise of the rebalancing of power in his 15 January 2020 Address to the Federal Assembly versus the reality of reform in practice.
尽管2020年7月4日俄罗斯宪法改革生效,但这远不是故事的结束。最明显的是,这些对1993年宪法的修改需要实施,包括通过修订和编写新的联邦立法。在某种程度上,这个过程是法律官僚的平凡工作,他们调整和制定了许多立法来反映新的宪法文本。但实施过程也揭示了更多关于更广泛的宪法改革项目的信息。本文回顾了实施过程,讨论了其复杂性,在补充某些新宪法细节时所表现出的即兴性,其与其他政治发展的关系,以及普京在2020年1月15日向联邦大会发表讲话时承诺的权力再平衡与实践中的改革现实之间的鸿沟。

Electoral Performance and Mobilization of Opposition Parties in Russia 俄罗斯反对党的选举表现与动员

This paper documents the patterns of opposition parties’ engagement with street politics in Russia. It claims that in the electoral authoritarian regimes like Russia under Vladimir Putin, public protests remain a viable instrument for reaching out to the constituencies and eliciting concessions from the regime. In addition, collective actions signal commitment and strength and help to overcome the media blockade usually imposed by the state. However, in order to be a successful player in contentious politics, parties have to develop organizational capacity. Using the data on more than 7000 protest events that took place in Russia in 2012–2015, I show that the regional party branches with higher electoral returns in federal and regional elections organize more protest events controlling for other possible determinants of mobilization. The Communist Party remains the major mobilizing force covering a large array of issues and demands. However, the loyal opposition—LDPR and Just Russia—and the liberal parties like Yabloko and People’s Freedom Party also consistently stage the public protests with their electoral performance on the regional level being associated with the level of their protest activity. Overall, the study shows that the organizational capacity of the opposition is necessary though insufficient condition for the parties to engage with street politics.
本文记录了俄罗斯反对党参与街头政治的模式。它声称,在像弗拉基米尔•普京(Vladimir Putin)领导下的俄罗斯这样的选举专制政权中,公众抗议仍然是接触选民并促使政权让步的可行工具。此外,集体行动表明承诺和力量,并有助于克服通常由国家施加的媒体封锁。然而,为了在有争议的政治中成为一个成功的参与者,政党必须发展组织能力。利用2012-2015年在俄罗斯发生的7000多起抗议事件的数据,我表明,在联邦和地区选举中获得更高选举回报的地区党支部组织了更多的抗议事件,控制了其他可能的动员决定因素。中国共产党仍然是解决大量问题和要求的主要动员力量。然而,忠诚的反对党——自由民主党和公正俄罗斯党——以及自由党和人民自由党等自由党派也一直在举行公开抗议活动,他们在地区层面的选举表现与其抗议活动的水平有关。总体而言,研究表明反对党的组织能力是政党参与街头政治的必要条件,但不是充分条件。

The Membership of Governors’ Teams in Russia’s Regions, and the Key Features of the Formation of Regional Administrations 1991–2018 俄罗斯各地区州长团队的成员,以及1991-2018年地区政府组建的主要特征

This article examines the outcomes of renewal of personnel in the Russian regional authorities during different stages of their development: 1991–1995 (primarily assigned based on elections in individual regions), 1995–2005 (the period of mass direct elections), 2005–2012 (a system of appointment based on the president’s nomination), and 2012–2018 (elections via a municipal filter). It attempts to aggregate and analyse the instances where the heads of regional authorities were elected (or appointed) despite having no previous relationship to those regions (outsider politicians). It offers a classification system for these outsiders, distinguishing “pure outsiders”, “returnees”, “adapted outsiders”, “naturalised outsiders” and “federalised locals”.
本文考察了俄罗斯地方政府在不同发展阶段的人事更新结果:1991-1995年(主要基于个别地区的选举)、1995-2005年(大规模直接选举时期)、2005-2012年(基于总统提名的任命制度)和2012-2018年(通过市政筛选的选举)。它试图汇总和分析地方当局领导人被选举(或任命)的实例,尽管之前与这些地区(外部政客)没有任何关系。它为这些外来者提供了一个分类系统,区分“纯粹外来者”、“海归”、“适应外来者”、“归化外来者”和“联邦本地人”。

Defects of Russian Elections and Ways to Overcome Them 俄罗斯选举的缺陷及其克服途径

A. E. Lyubarev
The article discusses defects of Russian elections, with emphasis on the fact that the electoral systems being used favour the regime. The system used for registration of candidates and party lists allows the state to deny access to strong candidates whose election would inconvenience the state bureaucracy. Pro-government candidates are advantaged during election campaigns, as segments of the population that are dependent upon the state find themselves pressured to participate, sometimes including outright control of their vote. Furthermore, many regions experience large-scale electoral fraud. The article suggests means to overcome these defects, including a comprehensive revision of electoral legislation.
这篇文章讨论了俄罗斯选举的缺陷,强调了选举制度对现政权有利的事实。用于候选人和政党名单登记的制度允许国家拒绝那些当选会给国家官僚机构带来不便的强大候选人。亲政府候选人在竞选活动中处于有利地位,因为依赖政府的部分人口发现自己被迫参与,有时甚至包括完全控制他们的投票。此外,许多地区经历了大规模的选举舞弊。本文提出了克服这些缺陷的方法,包括全面修改选举法。

Arctic Diplomacy: A Theoretical Evaluation of Russian Foreign Policy in the High North 北极外交:俄罗斯高北地区外交政策的理论评价

International interest in the Arctic is heating up along with the planet’s atmosphere and the region is increasingly presented as a new potential hotspot for inter-state competition and discord. Inevitably, Russia is often at the centre of this implicitly ‘realist’ narrative. This study provides an evaluation of Moscow’s Arctic policy between 2000 and 2019 from an international relation theory perspective by building upon the burgeoning literature on the Arctic and sources on Russian foreign policy in general. This study postulates that several elements of Russian regional policy in the High North do indeed follow realist readings of the international politics yet it also demonstrates how structural realism fails to adequately account for the institutionalization of regional relations and, most notably, neglects the importance of domestic factors, specifically historical memory, towards understanding Moscow’s contemporary Arctic policy.
国际社会对北极的兴趣随着地球大气层的变暖而升温,该地区越来越成为国家间竞争和不和的新的潜在热点。不可避免的是,俄罗斯经常处于这种含蓄的“现实主义”叙事的中心。本研究以新兴的北极文献和俄罗斯外交政策的总体来源为基础,从国际关系理论的角度对莫斯科2000年至2019年的北极政策进行了评估。这项研究假设,俄罗斯在北方高地的地区政策的几个要素确实遵循了对国际政治的现实主义解读,但它也表明了结构性现实主义如何未能充分解释地区关系的制度化,最值得注意的是,它忽略了国内因素的重要性,特别是历史记忆,理解莫斯科当代的北极政策。

This study postulates that several elements of Russian regional policy in the High North do indeed follow realist readings of the international politics yet it also demonstrates how structural realism fails to adequately account for the institutionalization of regional relations and, most notably, neglects the importance of domestic factors, specifically historical memory, towards understanding Moscow’s contemporary Arctic policy.","PeriodicalId":37176,"journal":{"name":"Russian Politics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47925816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper explores how urban Russians perceive, negotiate, challenge and reaffirm the political configuration of the country and leadership in terms of the ‘imagined nation’. Based on around 100 interviews in three Russian cities, three main pillars appear to prop up the imagined ‘pro-Putin’ social contract: (i) the belief that ‘delegating’ all power into the hands of the President is the best way to discipline and mould state and society; (ii) the acceptance of Putin’s carefully crafted image as a ‘real man’, juxtaposed against negative views of the Russian ‘national character’; (iii) the internalization of a pro-Putin mythology on a ‘government of saviors’ that delivers normality and redeems a ‘once-ruined’ nation. The paper shows that those who reject these pillars do so due to differing views on what constitutes ‘normality’ in politics. This normative split is examined over a number of issues, leading to a discussion of internal orientalism and the limited success of state media agitation in winning over the skeptical.
本文探讨了城市俄罗斯人如何感知、谈判、挑战和重申国家的政治结构和“想象中的国家”的领导。根据在俄罗斯三个城市进行的约100次采访,似乎有三个主要支柱支撑着想象中的“亲普京”社会契约:(i)相信将所有权力“委托”到总统手中是约束和塑造国家和社会的最佳方式;(ii)接受普京精心塑造的“真正的男人”形象,并将其与对俄罗斯“国民性”的负面看法并列;(iii)将亲普京的神话内化为一个“救世主政府”,这个政府带来了常态,拯救了一个“曾经被摧毁”的国家。这篇论文表明,那些拒绝这些支柱的人之所以这样做,是因为他们对什么是政治上的“常态”有不同的看法。这种规范的分裂在许多问题上得到了检验,导致了对内部东方主义的讨论,以及国家媒体在赢得怀疑者方面的有限成功。
