Russian Leadership: Good Intentions Failed Democracy
Abstract
A new and fragile balance between democracy and autocracy has emerged and has allowed Russia to restore stability and to reclaim its status as a great power. An analysis of Russia's executive leadership, from Mikhail Gorbachev's era of Perestroika, through Boris Yeltsin's unsuccessful attempt of western style democracy, to Vladimir Putin's goal of regenerating Russian greatness, will demonstrate that change has occurred only through the unchallenged position of the new Russian presidency and the man who fills it.
