ABOUT THIS BOOK
The tenth edition of this go-to text offers critical discussion of contemporary Russian politics and its fundamental principles. It covers established topics such as executive leadership, parties, and elections as well as newer issues of national identity, protest, and Russia and Greater Eurasia. Taking a bottom-up approach, Developments in Russian Politics 10 analyzes the political system in which Putin’s influence can be understood and covers frequently overlooked topics like the informal economy, climate change, and gender. The book is organized around the informal politics of hybrid regimes and authoritarianism and accounts for how Russian history impacts contemporary politics in counterintuitive ways, addressing notions of hybrid warfare, disinformation, and election meddling. The chapters have a modular quality and are designed to correspond to course teaching. Compiled by an international team of specialists and offering key questions, further reading suggestions, and a list of up-to-date repositories of video material, the edition will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students from across the world.

REVIEWS
“By a long distance the best available undergraduate text on contemporary Russian politics. The impressive writing team have succeeded in producing a text which is both fully up-to-date and an excellent summary of developments in the field over the recent period.”
-- Dr. Matthew Wyman, Keele University, UK
“Written by renowned scholars in the field, this book provides readers with a comprehensive analysis of the key issues shaping political developments in Russia. It is an invaluable publication for students who wish to understand how Russia’s domestic politics and foreign policy are intertwined.”
-- Professor Peter Vermeersch, KU Leuven, Belgium
“This is an exceptional volume showcasing the insights of established and upcoming scholars of Russia alike. It makes sense of the shifting sands of politics in reaction to Russia’s brutal and senseless invasion of Ukraine. It does so with nuance and acumen, providing a bottom-up, societal approach to complement its analysis of the vagaries of Russia’s ‘patronal’ high politics.”
-- Professor Luke March, University of Edinburgh
