Does Russian Democracy Have a Future?

Abstract

In January of this year, several of this nation's leading Russian area specialists and scholars met at the U.S. Army Center of Military History to discuss the future of Russian democracy. Although many Russians lost faith in Communism as a viable ideology sometime in the 1970s or 1980s, the expectations for democracy were, perhaps, overly optimistic. Whatever the future of democracy in Russia, one must remember that Russian national interests will remain fundamental to shaping Moscow's attitudes toward its neighbors, Western Europe, and the United States. The essays in this volume summarize discussions and conclusions regarding this future.
