  • Description: This study tries to explain and analyze the development of political system in Russia after the collapse of the USSR. In that context, the article aims at the main determinants and factors that significantly influenced the shaping and creating of the Russian political system during the last two decades. Russia in terms of political theory (political science) belongs to a group of post-communist countries which, unlike most countries of Central Europe (e.g. Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary) did not complete the transition process by democratic consolidation, characterized by the stability of institutions and political system as a whole. In this context, the author notes that a certain stability of the political system in most former Soviet republics (Belarus, Azerbaijan, Central Asian States but also in Russia itself) was achieved particularly by departure from democratic standards. Under the present study the author draws attention to current political developments in Russia, which is time-framed by D. Medvedev becoming President of RF (2008). In this connection the author points out on so far only rhetorical efforts of D. Medvedev to promote modernization program of Russian society, whose concept is based on the reform of the economy (technology, knowledge economy), but indirectly refers, respectively affects the change (reform) of the current political system, whose form was shaped during the second election period of President V. Putin. Author in this context finds essential differences, respectively basic philosophical dissonances between the starting postulates of Putin's concept of "sovereign democracy" and the modernization agenda of D. Medvedev, whose theses have been published in autumn 2009 in the article "Russia Forward."
