About this book

This book looks at the newly empowered citizens of Russia’s protodemocracy facing choices at the ballot box that just a few years ago, under dictatorial rule, they could not have dreamt of. Colton finds that despite their unfamiliarity with democracy, subjects-turned-citizens learn about their electoral options from peers and the mass media.

Reviews

Transitional Citizens is a very important study, executed with exemplary thoroughness and consistency. There is no doubt that it will be a major and lasting contribution, important for the study of Russian politics and democratic transitions more generally.
-- Thomas F. Remington, Emory University

Colton and an impressive group of collaborators offer a technically excellent addition to the growing body of literature on Russian electoral behavior. The researchers studied voter attitudes related to the 1995 Duma and 1996 presidential elections. A rather large sample and repeated interviews give the study an appearance of authenticity. Colton examines possible variables involved in voters' choices, including socioeconomic characteristics, partisanship, perceptions of leadership, and issues.
-- R. J. Mitchell Choice
