Abstract

Two specialists on Russian society and politics analyze the composition of Russian officialdom since 1991, focusing in particular on changes in recruitment practice that have taken place under President Vladimir Putin. On the basis of elite interviews and contemporary scholarly and media analysis of the Putin regime, the authors examine trends in the number of government personnel who have a military or security background. Also investigated are trends in the presidential administration's hold over federal agencies and representation of former military-security personnel at regional levels within the Russian Federation.
