KelleyFirst edition.Washington D.C. :CQ Press,2017.1 online resource (296 pages) illustrations0-87289-404-5 Includes bibliographical references and index.Russian Politics and Presidential Power takes an in-depth look at the Russian presidency and uses it as a key to understanding Russian politics. Donald R. Kelley looks at presidents from Gorbachev to Putin as authoritarian, transformational leaders who set out to build the future, while sometimes rejecting and reinterpreting the work of past modernizers. Placing the presidency in this context helps readers understand both the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the nature of the Russian Federation that rose in its place. And by setting the presidency within a longer historical context, Kelley shows how the future of the presidency is dependent on other features of the political system.Executive powerRussia (Federation)Executive powerSoviet UnionPresidentsRussia (Federation)PresidentsSoviet UnionRussia (Federation)Politics and government1991-Soviet UnionPolitics and government1985-1991Executive powerExecutive powerPresidentsPresidents947.086Kelley Donald R.1943-322545CaToSAGECaToSAGEUtOrBLWBOOK9910824153703321Russian politics and presidential power3965580UNINA
