Understanding Russia’s Patronage Politics
In Russia’s rough-and-tumble patron-client political system, Putin has long been the only individual with enough support across competing elite networks to maintain stability. Now, though, he is becoming what George Washington University professor Henry Hale calls a “lame duck”—an old-timer in his last constitutionally permitted term as president, whose popularity is falling as the Russian economy stagnates.
