Abstract:
Finding the Russian way to institutionalize the university principles of democracy is the challenge of the new parliament. It will not be easy. Almost half of the new parliament will be composed of deputies who are clearly anti-democratic and hostile to the free market. But if Russia is to be free and prosperous, it has no choice but to destroy the old communist system and prevent the rise of fascism, while building a new democratic free market system.
