Popis: The introduction reviews extant literature on electoral politics in both democratic and contemporary authoritarian regimes to highlight the degree to which the specific electoral system changes under investigation—the adoption of closed-list proportional representation in Russia and Ukraine—not only defy scholarly expectations but also create an opportunity for a new line of inquiry. The chapter frames the book in a manner that should attract readers who are interested in elections and party politics in general as well as those captivated by the turbulent politics of Russia and Ukraine in particular.
