Post-Soviet Russia is almost in a continuous process of electoral and party system reform. However, in this ongoing process, there are certain stages or cycles.1 They reflect and simultaneously generate extremely controversial and conflictual reforms in the country in the past two decades. The result is that there is a huge variation in the estimates of the nature and the results of these transformations. Political reform, including electoral and party, attempts to overcome the tyranny of regional barons in the Russian neofeudal political and legal system that emerged in the early 1990s. Efforts to restore the unity of the state and the rule of law have received some support from society.
