Russia's Economy in December 2013
A few words about the socio-political background that triggered some of the key economic events of December 2013. The most important political event of the month was the unexpected release from jail of former oil tycoon Michail Khodorkovsky who had spent 10 years and 2 months behind bars. As Khodorkovsky's jail term had been expiring, Putin was facing a dilemma - either to give the go-ahead to the long-anticipated third Yukos case, or to let Khodorkovsky go free. With his decision to release Mikhail Khodorkovsky Putin intended to show that he was the boss of everything happening in Russia, to get political kudos (Khodorkovsky's appeal for pardon) as well as Khodorkovsky's promise not to engage in politics and not to try to regain Yukos assets.
The Russian Economy in March 2014
The main event in March which is having long-term political and economic consequences was the accession of Crimea to Russia, based on the results of the referendum conducted on 16 March. It has resulted in the most serious tension in the relations between Russia and Western countries since the "cold war"
Russia 2025
Russia 2025 offers a compelling insight into Russia's future by exploring thematic scenarios ranging from politics to demographics. The widening rift between a modernizing, post-Communist society and a paternalistic government will ultimately shape developments in the coming years and will impact on state-society and Center-periphery relations.
Russia's Economy in February 2013
The socio-political situation in February was shaped by the escalating conflicts within this country's elite. The State Duma was shaken by scandals that resulted from the exposure of the ownership, by certain eminent representatives of the party in power, of real estate abroad that they had somehow neglected to report in their tax declarations. While some of these absent-minded politicians were forced to resign from their posts in response to the attacks of bloggers representing the opposition, others decided to give up their mandates in view of the course towards 'nationalization of the elite' announced by President Putin. The draft law (adopted in February at first reading) that is designed to prevent Russian officials from having any accounts with foreign banks smacks more of a populist measure than of any genuine ban on any foreign property (while mentioning bank accounts and stocks, the draft law is altogether silent about the existing more sophisticated products and legal forms of control over property).
Russia's Economy in April 2013
The socio-political background of April 2013 was determined by the ongoing attacks on the government launched by the RF President and the law enforcement agencies; by the continuing debate around the issue of how to find the most effective way of stimulating economic growth; and by the Kremlin's massive onslaught on civil society organizations. In his speech at a government meeting in Elista, Vladimir Putin threatened to sack the entire cabinet. Although that outburst was reputedly 'not for the record', somebody leaked the relevant fragment of video footage to the central TV channels controlled by the Kremlin. The campaign launched by the law enforcement agencies against the Skolkovo Innovat...
Russia's Economy in July 2013
Escalation of socio-political tensions in July 2013 was caused by upcoming elections in various regions on September 8, 2013. The tension, in its turn, reflects general uptrend in political activity, which has been of cellular nature so far, of both common citizens and elite groups. Main collisions in July have been developing around the upcoming mayoral elections in Moscow and St. Petersburg, as well as municipal elections in Yaroslavl.
Russia's Economy in May 2013
Russia's political background in May was determined by the mounting tension in the top echelons of the political bureaucracy. The sacking of Deputy Prime Minister Vladislav Surkov - one of the authors of the soft authoritarianism of the 2000s - was a manifestation of yet another personnel reshuffle in Russia's corridors of power.
