The COVID-19 Pandemic as a Test of Russia’s Subnational State Capacity
Demokratizatsiya: The Journal of Post-Soviet Democratization. 2023. Vol. 31. No. 4. P. 461–484.
This article is devoted to the study of subnational state capacity in Russia. The focus is on the end of the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic (2021). The study conducts a regression analysis, using the fulfillment of the social and economic requirements for regional authorities stipulated in the “May Decrees” of 2012 as the independent variable and transmission of the virus as the dependent variable. We find that subnational state capacity had an important impact on the spread of the pandemic: those regions that had greater success in implementing the requirements of the May Decrees were better able to curb the impact of the pandemic. In addition, we find that more authoritarian regions and regions with more experienced leaders were more successful in controlling the spread of the virus.

Понимание российского внешнеполитического поведения вновь обретает осо-бую значимость не только в рамках конфликта на Украине и взаимоотношений со странами мирового большинства и меньшинства, но и в контексте изменяющегося мироустройства. Прежняя глобалистская модель стремительно сходит с авансце-ны международных отношений, возвращая, по сути, мир к структурным базовым настройкам соперничества между несколькими крупными державами. Россия яв-ляется одной из ...

Alongside collectivism–individualism, autonomy–embeddedness, and monumentalism–flexibility, emancipative values (EV) constitute one of the most powerful cultural markers of societal differences in economic development, demographic change, and levels of liberal democracy. However, the evolutionary emancipation theory's validity relies on the assumption that values crystallize in early adolescence and persist across the lifespan—a premise lacking robust empirical scrutiny. Given ...
