POLITICAL REGIME OF RUSSIAN FEDERATION IN CONTEXT OF CONTEMPORARY POLITOLOGICAL THEORIES

Abstract

The deliberations presented in this text are an attempt to capture the tendencies in the discussion on the phenomenon of the Russian political regime and its process of transformation in the Vladimir Putin era. The author presents different ways of defining the political regime and different approaches to the subject of the researched phenomenon presented by researchers from Poland, Russia and representatives of Western political science. The text is a overview since the dynamics of the changes and the multiplicity of elements involved have resulted in more or less consistent concepts and the lack of effective completion of the transition processes results in topic's non-exhaustion, despite the great interest in the issue.
