What drove the USSR to democratize and collapse and why did the community of experts fail so completely to predict it? Why has the Russian economy been so troubled? Did Vladimir Putin become president in 2000 by means of fraud, or does Russia have a real democracy? What are the sources of the persistent weakness of the Russian state? These and other issues will be explored through a combination of lectures, readings and in-class exercises. ...

• Politics Faculty.
• The University of Pittsburgh’s Department of Political Science has seven faculty who regularly teach and publish about European politics, both east and west. Each specializes in either West/East European or Russian politics, but their teaching and research is broadly concerned with the extraordinary changes that this region has undergone in the past decade. ...
• Jonathan Harris specializes in Russian politics, while Ron Linden and Ilya Prizel specialize in what used to be known as “East” Europe, but which is now part of a fascinating “New” Europe. All three are concerned with both domestic and international politics as they affect Russia, Ukraine, and the various countries within Eastern Europe.
• Professor Peters pays particular attention to national politics and public administration in Scandinavia as well as the relationship between national administrations and the European Union. ... He has also spent several years working in Germany and does some work on German politics. Alberta Sbragia is concerned with Italian politics, the European Union, and comparative regional integration.
• While Harris, Linden, and Prizel contribute to the study of both comparative politics and international relations, Peters, Hallerberg, and Sbragia work in the subfield of comparative politics. ...
• European Politics at the Undergraduate Level.
• Many majors pursue a Certificate in Russian and East European Studies, West European Studies, or European Union Studies. ...
• European Politics at the Graduate Level.
• The University of Pittsburgh’s offerings in European politics are distinctive in that they provide historical depth, particularly in the area of nationalism, an examination of how international organizations such as the EU and NATO are shaping contemporary politics and policy in both east and west Europe, how Russian politics is evolving, and how policy and administrative structures are changing as governments examine how they can best control public finances, deliver services and intervene in the economy.
• Although students will specialize, it is expected that they will become familiar with the politics of Europe broadly defined. Departmental resources are significantly augmented by the existence within the University Center for International Studies of a Center for Russian and East European Studies, a Center for West European Studies, and a European Union Center. ...

• RUSSIAN POLITICS IN COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE .
• This course is designed for students broadly interested in the field of comparative politics.

Rather, the course is designed to demonstrate how comparativists who focus on Russia have engaged some of the seminal works in the subfield of comparative politics. ... The goals are two-fold: 1) to expose students to some of the most important works in comparative politics; 2) to explore how scholars go about applying major theories to specific empirical problems. ...

• Russian to conclusions.
• 'It is unreasonable to be too critical of the decision taken by Russian President Vladimir Putin', says today's Independent, claiming that the Russian authorities were faced with 'difficult and limited choices' for ending the Chechen rebel siege of a Moscow theatre.
• The siege may have ended tragically - with the deaths of 120 hostages caused by the as yet unnamed gas pumped into the theatre by Russian troops - but according to the Independent, 'the outcome was better than it might have been' (1).
• Outright criticism has been muted in favour of a hesitant praising of the Russian authorities for making 'difficult decisions in difficult circumstances' and for 'doing their best'.
• The Mirror couldn't resist contrasting the Russian troops' clumsy actions with 'the success of the British SAS in storming the Iranian Embassy in 1982' - but still concluded that 'President Putin and his force had no alternative' (4).
• But in the 10 years since it started, the Chechen conflict has been shaped and influenced by the foreign policy concerns of Western elites as well as by the internal concerns of the Russian elite.
• American leaders spent the Cold War condemning Russian leaders as oppressors and demanding freedom and independence for the republics that made up the Soviet Union. ...
• In such a fearful and uncertain climate, as the institutions and certainties of the Cold War were unravelling, Western governments were not about to criticise Russian attempts to quash the Chechens.
• Those who did criticise Russia over the weekend tended to focus on the Russian authorities' attitude rather than their actions. It wasn't so much the gassing of 120 people that some found objectionable, but the way in which the Russian authorities refused to repent or 'be open' about what had taken place.
• The Mail praised Putin for showing 'resolve and determination' when 'faced with a terrorist incident on such a scale' - but it criticised the way in which the Russian authorities 'have since acted with a mixture of arrogance and distrust that is all too reminiscent of Cold War attitudes' (10).
• But 'the greatest failure is the old Russian nemesis: the failure to be honest. ...
• Many commentators must have been relieved when Putin eventually appeared on Russian TV with moist eyes to explain his actions - and indeed, The Times praised him for 'wisely acknowledging the cost and asking forgiveness for his failure to rescue all the hostages' (12).
• Somehow, some commentators managed to link the 'bloodbath in Moscow' (caused by Russian troops, remember) with the Bali bombing (caused by persons unknown) with the alleged threats from Iraq and the 'newly nuclear' North Korea. ...
• Even the gassing of 120 people by the Russian authorities can be twisted into an argument for disarming Saddam before he has a chance to 'unleash his poisons'.

• CHANGE IN THE RUSSIAN POLITICAL LEXICON AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF RUSSIAN POLITICS.
• 2 The transition from Soviet to Russian politics presents yet another opportunity to test for this association. In this paper I address the larger question of whether Russian political discourse has changed from a despotic to a democratic type by examining some common metaphors.
• Metaphors may be able to act as cues to social identity by virtue of their capacity to shape what else people think about when they read or hear about politics. ... 6 Such a theory implies that when rulers liken politics to something above or remote, audiences contemplating their relationship to their rulers think about such qualities as height and distance that separate them from the rulers. ...
• A standard work on democratic participation comments: "People who identify closely with political contenders are more likely to participate in politics than people whose psychological identifications are weaker. ...
• Third, transitions to democracy must begin by dismantling the metaphorical apparatus of the old regime, as otherwise the cues encountered by people continue to isolate them from politics. ...
• It is not my claim that the discovery of such a pattern in a body of texts means that either the texts’ authors or the Russian audience are conscious of this pattern. ...
• "10 In separate papers my colleagues and I have reported experimental evidence that whole texts exemplifying those used in the present study evoke very different responses from large samples of Russian readers and that the electoral texts are more capable of evoking identification. ... Exactly how to describe the changes in the meaning that Russian audiences infer when they see democratic instead of dictatorial metaphors, or how far-reaching these changes may be, are admittedly open to more question, but one cannot put different metaphors in and get the same meaning out.
• 13 Like virtually any monarchial or dictatorial discourse, regardless of ideology, authoritarian communist discourse borrowed this metaphor to signify the difference between politics and the everyday and to attach value to the former. ...
• As in later tables, the leftmost column of Table 1 lists the nominative singular of a basic form of a Russian lexeme commonly used as a metaphor in political discourse. ... The next three columns give the raw numbers of occurrences of derivative forms of this lexeme in three bodies of political texts taken from an authoritarian period in Soviet politics, from a transitional period, and from the initial electoral period. ... The electoral corpus consists of fifty speeches, interview comments, or articles by politicians selected to encompass the full spectrum of Russian politics during October 1991 to December 1993, the initial period of electoral politics.
• While this methodology has been chosen because 2500 contexts are obviously too many to analyze individually, selective examination of context shows how authoritarian discourse uses these metaphors to ascribe distinctiveness and to attach value to politics as compared to the everyday. ...
• The representation of politics as existing above the citizen not only diminished in frequency in the immediate post-Soviet era, but its sign changed. ...

The former 'socialist' structure of politics and government was incapable of reform to meet the challenges of the Modern era.
