Based on case studies, Vladimir Shlapentokh and Anna Arutunyan analyze how private property and free markets spawn feudal elements in society. These elements are so strong in post-Communist Russia that they prevent the formation of a true democratic society, while making it impossible to return to totalitarianism. The authors describe the resulting Russian society as having three types of social organization: authoritarian, feudal and liberal. The authors examine the adaptation of Soviet-era institutions like security forces, the police and the army to free market conditions and how they generated corruption; the belief that the KGB was relatively free from corruption; how large property holdings merge with power and necessitate repression; and how property relations affect government management and suppression. 517 3 $aFreedom, Repression, & Private Property in Russia 606 $aDemocracy$zRussia (Federation) 606 $aCivil rights$zRussia (Federation) 606 $aProperty$xPolitical aspects$zRussia (Federation) 606 $aFree enterprise$xPolitical aspects$zRussia (Federation) 607 $aRussia (Federation)$xPolitics and government$y1991- 615 0$aDemocracy 615 0$aCivil rights 615 0$aProperty$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aFree enterprise$xPolitical aspects 676 $a947.086 700 $aShlapentokh$b Vladimir$0675978 702 $aArutunyan$b Anna 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453386403321 996 $aFreedom, repression, and private property in Russia$92464736 997 $aUNINA
