Currently, the scientific literature on political trust continues to be dominated by a rational approach which
portrays trust as an evaluation of the effectiveness of institutions and which uses as an empirical basis primarily
democratic countries. Such studies are conducted less frequently in non-democratic regimes, which is why political
scientists do not have a complete picture of how ...

The article examines the phenomenon of affective political polarization, which is operationalized through the fact of detected hate speech. In this study we have made two assumptions. Firstly, it is believed that during political mobilization, affective polarization (hate speech) will be significantly stronger than during the non-protest period, although hate speech will be detected for ...

When and how does an environmental protest cycle affect election outcomes under electoral authoritarianism? Drawing on the case of the Bashkortostan republic, a Russian ethnic region, I leverage the spatial proximity to the protest site to identify its effects on parliamentary elections. The environmental protest cycle peaked in Bashkortostan around the regional government’s decisions to ...

The article is devoted to the analysis of the semi-presidential, or mixed, model (system) of power. This structure is of a particular interest, not least due to the fact that it creates favorable conditions for the authoritarian evolution. Of course, an authoritarian regime can form in both the presidential and parliamentary systems, but the semi-p ...

Oleg V. Khlevniuk, Kritika: Explorations in Russian and Eurasian History 2024 Vol. 25 No. 2 P. 299–325
Existing research claims that the final transformation of many Soviet party and state officials into a class of owners and entrepreneurs occurred at the turn of the 1980s - 1990s. However, this privatization explosion’s prerequisites and gradual development have been poorly studied. Based on new archival documents, this report examines the phenomena that can be considered early forms of ...

Due to the heterogeneous composition of modern opposition movements, protesters may have two different types of identity: a narrow one associated with their political group or organization or a widespread identity related to the opposition as a whole. Accordingly, the authorities can use two types of repression: broad, directed against the entire opposition, or targeted, ...

The influence of Internet communication on “street” protest activity is the focus of this paper. In recent years, there has been some stagnation in this area of research: a shortage of breakthrough works that indicate new research directions or at least significantly strengthen the empirical foundation of already established hypotheses. The paradox is that when ...

Increased public awareness of environmental problems and the strengthening of diverse identities may lead to the emergence of “ethnic environmentalism.” These are movements that make environmental claims associated with the interests of an ethnic community. We develop this concept by examining protests in the Russian regions. Our findings suggest that ethnic identity facilitates environmental activism ...

Protest campaign movements are often carried out by coalitions rather than by homogeneous groups. Accordingly, an opposition member has both a narrow partisan identity and a broad allopposition identity. Seeking to prevent mass political participation, autocracies can repress protesters regardless of their group membership or apply the “divide and conquer” principle, targeting specific groups. Any ...

The followers/leaders, participation/leadership division is less obvious in Networked Social Movements than in traditional movements. Participants in these movements, adhering to egalitarian principles, seek to emphasize the absence of leaders, which has led some to characterize the movements as “leaderless.” This article interrogates that perspective through a critical review of these interpretations and myths, as ...
