| | Demokratizatsiya: Russia's Political Party System as an Impediment to Democratization |
| | Politics became the province of technocratic elites applying democratic formulas from above (Sakwa 1995, 174). | | | Parties formed after the election, and there were several efforts to create parties based on reform movements, but they did not have sufficient time to organize prior to the 1990 elections for the Russian Republic's Congress of People's Deputies. | | | In Russia's case, however, the first competitive elections to the USSR's Congress of People's Deputies held in March 1989, were instituted by Mikhail Gorbachev as part of his "reform from above" of the Soviet system prior to its collapse. |
