Paving the Way for Violence - The Constitutional Crisis of 1993 and Russia’s Political Trajectory

Paving the Way for Violence - The Constitutional Crisis of 1993 and Russia’s Political Trajectory Gel’man, Vladimir Author aut Text xx# 2024 Verfassungsblog 2024-02-07 eng The negative effects of the 1993 conflict prevailed over the benefits from the end of a confrontation. Its outcomes raised a major barrier to the democratization of Russia and paved the way for the use of violence as a means of preserving power. This conflict contributed to the maximization of presidential power and to the weakening of checks and balances in the constitution, which included significant authoritarian potential. The political order established in Russia after the 1993 conflict largely determined the subsequent trajectory of Russian political evolution and its drift towards a personalist authoritarian regime.
