Кто здесь власть?

Vsestoronnee issledovanie fenomena dvadt͡satiletneĭ politicheskoĭ gegemonii Vladimira Putina: kak ėto poluchilosʹ, kto ego podderzhivaet, kto sostavli͡aet oppozit͡sii͡u i mozhet li chto-to narushitʹ sushchestvui͡ushchiĭ balans sil.Na mirovoĭ politicheskoĭ st͡sene postoi͡anno meni͡ai͡utsi͡a osnovnye aktery. Prikhodi͡at i ukhodi͡at vsesilʹnye lidery, voznikai͡ut i rushatsi͡a mogushchestvennye alʹi͡ansy. Za proshedshie dvadt͡satʹ let politicheskai͡a i ėkonmicheskai͡a kartina mira izmenilasʹ korennym obrazom. Neizmennym ostalosʹ lishʹ imi͡a odnogo iz kli͡uchevykh politikov dvukh poslednikh desi͡atiletiĭ - Vladimira Putina. Dli͡a izuchenii͡a prichin ėtogo fenomena politologi Sėm Grin i Grėm Robertson osvoili ogromnoe kolichestvo raznoobraznykh dannykh: ot podrobnogo dokumentirovanii͡a izmeneniĭ v ritorike provlastnykh SMI i analiza statisticheskikh dannykh do izuchenii͡a intervʹi͡u pervykh lit͡s gosudarstva i razgovorov s obychnymi li͡udʹmi, prichem kak temi, kto prinimal uchastie v ulichnykh protestakh, tak i temi, kto gori͡acho podderzhivaet politiku prezidenta. Zakli͡uchenii͡a, k kotorym prishli avtory, vo mnogom porazhai͡ut. Vlastʹ Putina deĭstvitelʹno baziruetsi͡a na narodnoĭ podderzhke, no sama osnova ėtoĭ podderzhki daleko ne tak prochna, kak kazhetsi͡a, i v neĭ estʹ svoi ne vidimye na pervyĭ vzgli͡ad osobennosti.

A comprehensive study of the phenomenon of Vladimir Putin's twenty-year political hegemony: how it happened, who supports him, who is the opposition and whether something can upset the existing balance of power.The main actors on the world political scene are constantly changing. Powerful leaders come and go, powerful alliances arise and collapse. Over the past twenty years, the political and economic picture of the world has changed radically. Only the name of one of the key politicians of the last two decades, Vladimir Putin, has remained unchanged. To study the causes of this phenomenon, political scientists Sam Green and Graham Robertson mastered a huge variety of data: from detailed documentation of changes in the rhetoric of pro-government media and analysis of statistical data to studying interviews of top officials of the state and conversations with ordinary people, both those who took part in street protests and those who ardently support the president's policy. The conclusions reached by the authors are striking in many ways. Putin's power is indeed based on popular support, but the very basis of this support is not as strong as it seems, and it has its own features that are not visible at first glance.
