Kanarsh, G. Yu. Democracy and authoritarianism in post-Soviet and contemporary Russia. Part 2

Abstract: Abstract: the article considers the problem of correlation between the democracy and authoritarianism in post-Soviet and contemporary Russian politics. Relying on the researches of Russian political scientists, sociologists and social philosophers, the author demonstrated that the origins of authoritarianism may be found in the political practice of the middle of 1990th. It is also shown that the far evolution of political regime depended upon a failure of social-economical reforms of 1990th, but at the same time it got its own way because of the deep transformation of social structure of Russian society.
