As a nuclear power, UN Security Council member, emerging Arctic hegemon and the largest state in the world, Russia -- and its stability -- is of extreme importance in global politics.

In the most comprehensive long-term study to date, Derek Hutcheson argues that Russia's legislature, the Federal Assembly, forms an integral part of the country's political system and machinery of governance. Having previously formed a counterweight to presidential power under Boris Yeltsin, the legislative agenda has become more centralised under Vladimir Putin. Successive changes to the electoral and party systems have resulted in the dominance of a four-party 'cartel', with the pro-presidential United Russia party at its centre.

A perception that Russian elections are predictable, controlled and pointless to examine has grown, but Hutcheson reminds us that real voters cast real ballots. This book tells the story of how the electoral system has evolved, how campaign strategies have developed and how voting behaviour has changed. Hutcheson has utilised a combination of official data and new primary material to set 25 years of Russian parliamentary elections into context. Putting forward an in-depth analysis of post-Soviet politics, he looks forward to the next stage in Russia's political evolution just as he looked back.

Derek Hutcheson is Associate Professor of Political Science at Malmö University, Sweden. He has published extensively on electoral politics, particularly of the post-Soviet region, and on the electoral rights of transnational citizens. Prior to working in Sweden, he was head of European Studies at University College Dublin from 2006 to 2013 and an ESRC and British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at Glasgow University (2002-05). In association with his involvement in the Global Citizenship Observatory (formerly EUDO-Citizenship), he was also invited to spend several months at the European University Institute (EUI) in Florence as an EU Research Fellow in 2016.
