Independents and Party Formation: Elite Partisanship as an Intervening Variable in Russian Politics
1999
Overview
The development of Russian parties is more dependent on institutions and elite actions than on social cleavages, and, despite being generally weak, parties can play a significant role in Russia's postcommunist transition. It was hypothesized that elite partisanship varies with the level of urbanization and candidates' electoral resources. As an independent variable, elite partisanship was expected to have a positive influence on voter turnout. In an analysis of Russia's 1993 and 1995 single member district elections, elite partisanship was not strongly related to the level of urbanization but was affected by candidates' occupational backgrounds, and elite partisanship had a positive effect on voter turnout after controlling for urbanization.
