The narrative is well written, , profound, and honest. The book is a very good resource for students who want to learn more about the nature of Russian politics." -- Irina Vakulenko "Donald Kelley's concept of 'modern authoritarians' as a central theme enables a reader to follow the complex personalities and course of events. Perhaps even more valuable is the accuracy of the concept in portraying the Russian political experience. It is clear and presents the material that students need to understand." -- Richard Farkas "Russian Politics and Presidential Power is a fine text for undergraduate audiences and a good one for graduate students to review, too. The notion of the 'authoritarian modernizer' helps as a way to understand the Russian presidency and to get away from the tendentious arguments about Yeltsin and Putin that are so often indulged in. Kelley's work is clearly written with well explained examinations of the turbulent eras covered." -- Gerry Hudson "Russian Politics and Presidential Power is notable for Professor Kelley's attention to political 'legacies' of past Russian and Soviet chief executive offices and practices. Dr. Kelley demonstrates a number of the reasons for which Russian Federation politics have remained very fluid, and he acquaints the reader with many of the major political issues that have surfaced within the Russian political arena since before the disappearance of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics." -- Barbara Chotiner

Synopsis
Author Donald Kelley highlights the presidency as a work in progress shaped by the demands of creating political, economic, and social stability while simultaneously institutionalizing democratic rule. By setting the presidency within a longer historical context, Kelley traces the evolution of Russian politics from the late Soviet Union to the Russian Federation, showing how the future development of the presidency is dependent on other features of the political system., Russian Politics and Presidential Power takes an in-depth look at the Russian presidency and uses it as a key to understanding Russian politics. Donald R. Kelley looks at presidents from Gorbachev to Putin as authoritarian, transformational leaders who set out to build the future, while sometimes rejecting and reinterpreting the work of past modernizers. Placing the presidency in this context helps readers understand both the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the nature of the Russian Federation that rose in its place. By setting the presidency within a longer historical context, Kelley shows how the future of the presidency is dependent on other features of the political system.
