“…Since we know that socialization effects tend to be persistent throughout the life cycle, the assumption is that these attitudes and behavioral patterns are simply continued, even if their societies have changed dramatically since the democratic transition of the 1989-90 period (Fuchs & Roller, 2006). The experience perspective, on the other hand, argues that citizens of Central and Eastern Europe still are being confronted with the functioning of a less than ideal democratic regime (Lussier, 2011;Tavits, 2008;Uslaner, 2008). While on an institutional level, all features of democratic political regimes are present in these countries, in practice political elites still tend to be characterized by rampant corruption, abuse of power, discriminatory practices and luck of a free press (Fortin, 2012;Tworzecki & Semetko, forthcoming).…”

“…Коммунистическое наследие имеет вполне осязаемый эффект и поныне. Обращения остаются наиболее востребованной формой участия российских граждан (Lussier 2011;Henry 2012), а многие инновации (вроде общественного контроля) рассматриваются исследователями как гибрид советских практик и неолиберальных административных реформ (Owen, 2016). Как показал анализ А. Либмана и В. Козлова, для регионов России, где в свое время наблюдалась высокая доля членов КПСС, характерен и более интенсивный «жалобный активизм», что свидетельствует о глубокой «укорененности» данного института в обществе (Libman & Kozlov, 2017).…”

“…Academic research on how Russians view human rights, democracy, rule of law, and civil engagement generally finds limited supported for these ideals, at least by their conventional “Western” definitions, substantial nostalgia for the Soviet Union, and even admiration for Stalin (Reisinger, Miller, Hesli, and Maher 1994; Gibson 1996, 1997; Gerber and Mendelson 2002; Mendelson and Gerber 2005, 2006, 2007; Gerrits 2010; Hale 2011; Lussier 2011). Scholarly interest in how ordinary Russians perceive human rights and democracy peaked in the early 2000s, perhaps because the literature appeared to demonstrate that the pattern of ambivalence, indifference, and skepticism persisted in the face of early retrograde actions by the Putin regime.…”

“…Many such studies have concluded that Russians prefer order over democracy, often attributing this preference to a long-standing authoritarian political culture (Gibson 1996, 1997; Reissinger et al 1994; Lussier 2011). Others suggest that the experiences of the 1990s led Russians to associate democracy with chaos and corruption and thus prefer Putin’s more authoritarian approach (Mishler and Willerton 2003; Petukhov and Ryabov 2004; Carnaghan 2007).…”
