ELECTION OF HEADS OF REGIONS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION BY POPULAR VOTE (2004-2012)
The abolition of the direct election of heads of Russian regions in 2004 was originally interpreted ambiguously and stirred a mixed reaction. Dispute over the issue is seen as a competition of political ideologies and associated with the processes of legitimizing (delegitimizing) direct elections of heads of regions of the federation. The declaration of the return to direct election of heads of regions of the federations in the late 2011, was equally unexpected by observers as the declared abolition of these elections in September 2004 in view of the “threat of terrorism”. From this standpoint, it will be interesting to analyze the positions of the participants of the dispute and assess the level of their influence on political process.
