“…At the same time, attention is drawn to the decision of the commission, as evidenced by archival records, to exclude from the resolution of the conference the mention of the needs of defense in the paragraph that originally sounded as follows, However, the increase in metal production lags behind the targets of the third five-year plan and still does not meet the growing needs of the national economy of the USSR and the country's defense (Rochlitz et al, 2020).…”

The paper deals with the issue of the efforts undertaken by the bodies of party and state administration to fulfill plans and accelerated accumulation of reserves on the eve of the Great Patriotic War. The study is novel in that the analysis of attempts to work out a mobilization strategy for the socio-economic development of the USSR on the eve of the war was carried out based on a wide range of previously unpublished documents on file. The article delves into the loss of opportunities, and ignoration of several most appropriate value propositions to have proven their effectiveness but was introduced into practice only during the war years. The relevance of the research is due to the need to learn lessons from the historical experience of elaborating strategic plans for the country’s development, involving leading scientists in this work concerning scientifically grounded, objective data.

“…In addition to the literature on purges, a growing literature on anticorruption campaigns has tried to understand why and when authoritarian regimes undertake mass arrests of political elites to fight corruption. Conceptually, one might expect a trade-off between tolerating corruption as a tool to coopt the elite (Gandhi & Przeworski, 2006) and the economic harm being done by excessive elite predation (Acemoglu et al, 2004;Dawisha, 2014;Pei, 2006;Rochlitz et al, 2020). An additional factor might be a desire to increase regime legitimacy in view of excessive elite corruption, independent from corruption being perceived as a direct threat to the regime or not (Burger & Gitau, 2010;Dai, 2018;Zhu et al, 2019).…”

Although repression against elites is a common occurrence in authoritarian regimes, we know little about which elites are targeted. This paper uses an original dataset on the prosecution of mayors in large Russian cities to examine the factors that make elites more likely to be arrested. We argue that in electoral authoritarian regimes like Russia, regime leaders are reluctant to arrest popular officials. Such officials command political capital that is useful to the regime, and arrests of prominent officials can produce popular backlash. We examine this argument using an original dataset on all arrests of municipal leaders in Russia’s 221 largest cities between 2002 and 2018. We find that mayors who won their elections by large margins are less likely to be arrested. In addition, we document several other substantively important patterns: (1) a mayor’s professional background is not related to the likelihood of arrest, (2) opposition mayors are four times more likely to be arrested, and (3) mobilization of votes for the regime is not protective against arrest.

“…Local governments have been identified as one of the most corrupt public institutions in Uganda. This is mainly on account of their failure to provide accountability for public resources (Rochlitz, Kazun & Yakovlev, 2020). Members of the public have thus accepted the vice of corruption as a way of life.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to propose an alternative model of enhancing citizen participation in Uganda. Research Methodology: The central approach for this paper was review of obtainable theoretical and conceptual writings on citizen participation in Uganda and other parts of the world. Literature review is the gathering of information from obtainable resources such as educational journals and statistical periodicals. The approach has been demonstrated to be very effective and can be applied at any stage of a research process. Results: Citizen Participation encourages marginalised groups to be organised in structures under their control; brings knowledge of their social environment and process to the local government agenda in a way that no other structure can as well as fostering self-reliance. Limitations: This study took a desk research and the actual opinions from selected citizens may be parallel to the conclusions obtained in this review. Contribution: The study can be used for local government managers implementing community-driven projects. Keywords: Citizen participation, policy implementation, stakeholders, bureaucrats, local leaders
