SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
It brings the case of Russia to bear on theories of democracy. Whereas virtually every classic work takes political parties to be inevitable and essential to democracy, Russia has been dominated by nonpartisan politicians ever since communism collapsed. This book demonstrates why Russia stands out as a preserve of nonpartisanship.
