“…The majority of research on Russian NGOs distils such organisations into three distinct groups (Crotty, 2006(Crotty, , 2009Henry, 2006;Spencer, 2011). The first group are Marionette organizations, "created by the state or government officials and have no leadership or constituency in society" (Cook and Vinogradova, 2006: 34).…”

“…Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russian non-governmental organisations (NGOs) developed erratically in a context of weak and incomplete regulation. This led to some NGOs to act as fronts for commercial or criminal organizations (Robertson, 2009) and the emergence of non-governmental individuals (NGIs) whose sole purpose was to chase predominantly overseas grant money (Henry, 2006). Eventually the Russian state realised that if NGOs had greater transparency and financial control it could encourage the professionalization of the sector and attract domestic philanthropists (Robertson, 2009).…”

The passing of the Russian NGO Law in mid-2006 set clear parameters for Russian NGO activity and civil society development. In this paper we assess the impact of the NGO Law on both NGOs and Russian civil society. Our findings illustrate that the NGO Law has led to a reduction in NGO activity and curtailment of civil society development. We conclude thatRussian civil society appears to be dominated by groups funded and thus controlled by the state. This has implications for Russia's on-going democratic development.

“…Until recently, Russian civil society was considered underdeveloped and state controlled. However, new studies have revealed that the state embeddedness of many social movements and organizations should be interpreted not as weakness but as a strategy to perform and achieve discernible results in a highly constrained political environment (Henry ; Mamonova and Visser ). This study contributes to the latter discussion and looks beyond the liberal approach to state‐society relations.…”

An American geographer and Russian ecologist discuss current and prospective environmental hazards precipitated by large-scale infrastructure projects on Russia's southern coast of the Gulf of Finland. The region, investigated by both authors during the course of regular field research from 1999 to 2009, is one of the best environmentally preserved coastlines of the Baltic Sea with abundant potential greenfield sites, largely due to its closed-border-zone status during the Soviet period. A favorable location for trade also places the region under intense development pressure. The authors devote particular attention to two major developments, a multifunctional port complex (which inter alia serves as a major pipeline terminus and oil export port) and expansion of an existing nuclear power plant. Based on extensive personal observations and government documents, they analyze the emerging environmental threat posed by these initiatives as well as the challenging political environment that discourages public participation and local involvement in spatial planning.
