520  1   $a"Transitional Citizens looks at the newly
         empowered citizens of Russia's protodemocracy facing choices
         at the ballot box that just a few years ago, under
         dictatorial rule, they could not have. In the Russian
         Federation politicians address grave concerns -
         dysfunctional institutions, individual freedom, nationhood,
         property rights, provision of the basic necessities of life
         in an unparalleled economic downswing. As Timothy Colton
         finds, voting in transitional Russia is highly patterned.
         Despite their unfamiliarity with democracy,
         subjects-turned-citizens learn about their electoral options
         from peers and the mass media and make choices that manifest
         a purposiveness that will surprise many readers." "Colton
         reveals that post-Communist voting is not driven by a single
         explanatory factory such as ethnicity, charismatic
         leadership, or financial concerns, but rather by multiple
         causes interacting in complex ways. He gives us the most
         sophisticated and insightful account yet of the citizens of
         the new Russia."--BOOK JACKET.
