Republicanism in Russia

Discover a compelling analysis of Russia's political landscape in Republicanism in Russia by Professor Oleg Kharkhordin. Published in 2018 by Harvard University Press, this thought-provoking hardback spans 320 pages and dives into the reasons behind the fragile state of liberal democracy in Russia following the Soviet Union's dissolution.

Kharkhordin argues that Marxism's defeat in the Cold War does not account for the complexities of Russian political identity. Instead, he urges readers to explore the classical tradition of republican self-government and civic engagement that resonates throughout Russian history and literature. This insightful work invites readers to reconsider the pathways to freedom that lie within the rich cultural fabric of Russia, making it a must-read for anyone interested in political theory, history, and the sociopolitical dynamics of contemporary Russia.
