Hahn, ‘Continuity and Change in Russian Political Culture’, British Journal of Political Science 21, 1991, 393–421. Hahn’s main conclusion is that Russian political culture is ‘not strikingly different from what is found in Western industrial countries’, and thus that it ‘would appear to be sufficiently hospitable to sustain democratic institutions’ (pp. 420f.).
