The paper discusses electoral integrity and malpractice in Russia from the point of view of the people who make it happen: political strategists, CEOs, and government representatives. The original dataset, encompassing 75 in-depth interviews collected in selected Russian regions in 2018–19, suggests that a wide range of practices are employed to maintain the power of the ruling elite, from legal and ethical ones to morally gray and completely unethical ones. The techniques used have evolved with the general political situation in the country and can be clustered into five periods: 1991–1995, 1996–1999, 2000–2010, 2010–2017, and since 2018.

This study examines how discursive alignments during the 2018-2019 Russian pension reform debates correspond with subsequent legislative collaboration networks. Employing discourse-network analysis and frame analysis, we identify distinct parliamentary communities organized around interpretive frameworks rather than formal institutional boundaries. Inferential network analysis using Exponential Random Graph Models (ERGM) and Quadratic Assignment Procedure (MR-QAP) reveals that ...

Will the new energy order emerge as the product of a managed reconfiguration, or will it emerge through a systemic rupture? The answer to this question will be largely determined by the actions of three powers: the United States, China, and Russia. Their decisions in the coming years—not only reactive but also structural—will create a ...

В статье анализируется структурный разрыв между увеличивающейся когнитивной нагрузкой и снижающейся отдачей от неё. Подход, при котором развитие научных и образовательных школ, ориентированных на тренировку суждения, может стать альтернативой количественному наращиванию вычислительных мощностей, которое служит основной стратегией Китая и США. Применительно к России традиция фундаментального образования и сильных исследовательских школ приобретает в новых условиях значение ...

Тема статьи – анализ современного российского идеологического дискурса и перспектив его развития. Ключевая гипотеза заключается в том, что современные российские идеологические проекты имеют слабое отношение к социальной реальности, то есть являются «консервативно-авангардистскими» проектами, конструирующими настоящее и будущее России на основе абстрактных представлений о прошлом. ...

This paper assesses the relationship between financial literacy and over-indebtedness of Russian households using panel data from the Survey of Consumer Finances collected in Russia during 2018–2024. Russia is an interesting case: a relatively young consumer-finance market in which a lack of financial literacy may increase the likelihood of household over-indebtedness. To test this hypothesis, ...

Health misinformation undermines public well-being, yet most research conceptualizes fact-checking as an external intervention targeting false messages only. This obscures the effects of counter-messages on initially truthful statements and diverts attention from fact-checking as a user-driven practice. This study advances misinformation research by examining fact-checking as a spontaneous, naturalistic user behavior, captured via indirect behavioral ...

Using the theoretical framework of de-secularization from above which claims that church structures play a key role in the religious renaissance policy, we argue that the rise of the political inguence of the ROC (Russian Orthodox Church) may be explained by ...

The presidential elections of 1996 and the events around them remain the subject of heated discussions, which, then, subside, then flare up with renewed vigor. Among the scenarios played out in 1996 were populist promises, deceptions, frame-ups, falsifications, crude force and administrative pressure. A frantic search for an "heir" who would insure the failed regime. ...

Все они действуют в рамках неофициального консенсуса, включающего поддержку власти в сферах внешней политики, обороны, безопасности и неприятия «экстремизма», под которым понимается отказ ...

В российской политической системе происходят важные изменения. С 2005 г. отменены губернаторские выборы. Меняется избирательная система: в регионах с 2003 г. в обязательном порядке вводится смешанная система, а следующие думские выборы пройдут по пропорциональной системе. Повышается заградительный барьер на выборах по партийным спискам. На думских выборах барьер составит 7%, в регионах пока нет единой нормы, но отмечается тенденция к повышению барьера до 7%, ...
