Abstract:
Lipman examines the recent evolution of Russia's politcal and social culture and compares it to the democratic developments in neighboring Ukraine. Lipman argues that the Russian state is incapable of following Ukraine's path due to rising authoritarian tendencies, marginalized human rights movements, and co-opted civil society.
