Description
Republicanism in Russia: Community Before and After Communism by Oleg Kharkhordin In Russia's history, liberal democracy has struggled to take root. However, a different path to freedom may lie in the classical tradition of republican self-government and civic engagement. Republicanism has had a steady presence in Russia, despite periods of hostility from tsarist and communist regimes. This book explores how Russian republicanism can be reimagined for the modern era. Drawing on recent empirical research, Oleg Kharkhordin argues that embracing the indigenous Russian reception of classical republican philosophy could lead to a genuine public life in Russia. By severing dependence on residual mechanisms from the communist past, Russians may realize a new vision for freedom. Through its examination of contemporary movements and experiments, Republicanism in Russia sheds light on the potential for a renewed sense of civic engagement and community in Russia.
