“…Исследования, посвященные взаимодействию городских и региональных властей с бизнесом (Ledyaev & Chirikova, 2020;Тев, 2006;Бычкова & Гельман, 2010;Чирикова, 2012), в том числе девелоперским и строительным (Тев, 2008), рисуют картину сложной системы взаимозависимости и обмена ресурсами и наказаниями между властью и бизнесом. В этой системе в качестве ресурсов выступают не только деньги, но также голоса на выборах и социально-экономическая стабильность, а в качестве наказаний -потеря госконтрактов, проблемы с налоговыми органами и рейдерские захваты.…”

“…В этой системе в качестве ресурсов выступают не только деньги, но также голоса на выборах и социально-экономическая стабильность, а в качестве наказаний -потеря госконтрактов, проблемы с налоговыми органами и рейдерские захваты. Исследователи зачастую подчеркивают кооперативный характер этих отношений, а их конкретная конфигурация зависит от относительных ресурсов бизнеса и соответствующего уровня власти (Ledyaev & Chirikova, 2020).…”

Business plays a big role in politics all over the world due to its special interests, possession over autonomous resources, and importance for economic development and social stability. Russia and its regions are not an exception, business actors and the state are connected in a complex system of interactions and neopatrimonial exchange. In many regions, local business is a powerful political actor which is able to lobby its interests and influence regional electoral outcomes. The article reviews the research on business and politics in Russian regions. The research on Russia contributed considerably to our understanding of business actors’ direct political participation. It was made possible by the unique constellation of political and institutional factors. Moreover, the existing body of research demonstrates a complex picture of state-business interdependence that transcends the simplified models of state-business relations in authoritarian regimes.

The article presents the outcomes of an empirical study in three small towns of the Russian Federation in 2012-2015 and 2019-2020. The main empirical material was obtained through in-depth interviews (101 interviews in total) with the main actors of local politics. The study showed that in all communities the leadership of town-forming enterprises has a substantial potential to influence decision-making process. However, the degree and nature of their involvement in urban politics varies significantly - from active involvement to leaving. In both cases, the interests of enterprises were taken into account by the leadership of the legislatures, which either directly consisted of representatives of the enterprises, or from the very beginning positioned itself as their partner. When the local representative government is headed by representatives of big business, the possibilities for exercising control over the actions of the executive branch increase. The study showed that town legislatures are a platform for reconciling the interests of big business and the executive branch, without which the participation of big business in the local political processes would be behind the scene and informal. The possibility of turning the legislature into a platform for coordinating interests directly depends on the personal qualities of town and business leaders, their authority and understanding of the importance of cooperation. In the absence of this, the legislature will not be able to successfully participate in the elaboration of the community development strategy. The study showed that the company's desire to coordinate its actions with the executive branch does not necessarily lead to a clear dominance of the company over municipal structures, and the real partnership between the two main participants in urban politics largely depends on the personal factor.
