After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia under Yeltsin and Putin implemented a political system of “imitation democracy,” marked by “a huge disparity between formal constitutional principles and the reality of authoritarian rule.” How did this system take shape, how else might it have developed, and what are the prospects for re-envisioning it more democratically in the future?
These questions animate Dmitrii Furman’s Imitation Democracy, a welcome antidote to books that blandly decry Putin as an omnipotent dictator, without considering his platforms, constituencies, and sources of power. With extensive public opinion polling drawn from throughout the late- and post-Soviet period, Furman offers a definitive account of the formation of the modern Russian political system, casting it into powerful relief through comparisons with other post-Soviet states.
Peopled with grey technocrats, warring oligarchs, patriots, and provocateurs, Furman’s narrative details the struggles among partisan factions, and the waves of public sentiment, that shaped modern Russia’s political landscape, culminating in Putin’s third presidential term, which resolves the contradiction between the “form” and “content” of imitation democracy, “the formal dependence of power on elections and the actual dependence of elections on power.”

Good thing we have true democracy. It just so happens that the only people that get elected are either ridiculously wealthy or get money from ridiculously wealthy individuals.
If the people that own the media do no want you elected the only way to win is to have Trump levels of wealth and its impossible for a ethical man to become so rich.
We are ruled by psychopaths.

It’s the relentless fact-allergy afflicting these demented bots that’s most striking. Wobbly1933 is a sad case in point, you don’t know whether he’s posting comments or experiencing an extended nervous collapse. If it’s a genocidal ideology or despotic regime, he & his pals are in there, like fascist flynns, slavishly defending them. It’s an “alternative view,” he drools.
