RUSSIA’S DEMOCRATIC TRANSIT IN THE RUSSIAN ACADEMIC DISCOURSE
https://doi.org/10.48137/23116412_2025_1_87
Abstract
The article presents the results of a quantitative analysis of scientific publications on the subject of Russia’s democratic transit for the period of 2003-2023. Besides, on the basis of a secondary analysis of the researches the nonlinearity of the process of democratic transit of Russia is confirmed. Based on the fact that the political process determines academic discourse, the author argues that currently in Russia the search for an optimal national-specific model of democratic homeostasis continues in the context of the weakness of democratic traditions, the complicated geopolitical situation and the actualized traditionalist views of Russian society.
