Newspaper Article
Russia's Unruly Democracy
1995
Overview
As some of Russia's erstwhile allies in Central Europe have already shown, the passage from tyranny to democracy is going to be long and uneven, and democratic elections will not always produce democratic leaders. Communists of one stripe or another have returned to power through elections in Bulgaria, Hungary and, most recently, in Poland. Russia could be next. Under Russia's new Constitution, Parliament is overshadowed by the presidency. Unless one party or a coalition of parties can control two-thirds of the seats, the number required to override presidential vetoes, the legislature cannot itself change the direction of Moscow's domestic and foreign policies. But in tandem with presidential elections scheduled for next June, the vote this Sunday will help determine whether Russia is ready to accelerate or slow reform.
