Title: Imitation Democracy Author: Dmitrii Furman Narrator: Rich Miller Format: mp3 Length: 6 hrs and 9 mins Release date: 03-07-23 Ratings: Not rated yet Genres: Russian & Soviet Publisher's Summary: After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia under Yeltsin and Putin implemented a political system of "imitation democracy," marked by "a huge disparity between formal constitutional principles and the reality of authoritarian rule." How did this system take shape, how else might it have developed, and what are the prospects for re-envisioning it more democratically in the future? These questions animate Dmitrii Furman's Imitation Democracy, a welcome antidote to books that blandly decry Putin as an omnipotent dictator without considering his platforms, constituencies, and sources of power.
