“…The comparison to the Third World was made by both Russian and foreign observers in the 1990s, and, despite the improvement of Russia's economy, arguably that comparison still holds (Ayoob, 1999(Ayoob, , 2002Huskey, 1995;Shlapentokh and Woods, 2007;Stavrakis, 1993Stavrakis, , 1997MacDonald, 1993).

Has Putin strengthened the Russian state or merely reinforced a particular regime? Russia's condition and recent development are examined in the context of the succession struggles in post-Soviet Russia. The parallels between contemporary Russia and the model of the patrimonial service state in which the state is the tsar's patrimony and he can use it as he sees fit without being accountable to anyone, a concept founded on the notion of power as property and the idea that the king's royal domain is indistinct from the state, are explored with attention paid to intra-elite power struggles, institutional changes leading to the current succession, and the development of state corporations.

The role of leadership in transitional regimes is an issue that requires closer examination, given the ability of the leader to shape and determine the direction of the regime. This paper seeks to delineate some common features of leadership during such regimes and the factors influencing the ability of leaders to manipulate and shift the direction of the process. To illustrate, it adopts a comparative analysis of the leadership of Adolfo Suárez (Spain) and Boris Yeltsin (Russia). It will be shown that, despite the different outcomes of these cases, there are clear similarities that point to the existence of a form of transitional leadership. Central to the paper is an adoption of the notion of structure and agency to determine the extent actors in this position can affect change within the constraints faced.
