Description
Author Donald Kelley highlights the presidency as a work in progress shaped by the demands of creating political, economic, and social stability while simultaneously institutionalizing democratic rule. By setting the presidency within a longer historical context, Kelley traces the evolution of Russian politics from the late Soviet Union to the Russian Federation, showing how the future development of the presidency is dependent on other features of the political system.
