Party system in Russian Federation in the years 2005–2015

Mayia Abromchyk



Abstract

The right to vote, during the whole period of Russian Federation’s existence as a new state, has been a fairly ambiguous and controversial issue. Such frequent “game rule” changes made a relevant impact on the quality of its party system. Thereby, in 2005 the most important reform of electoral law took place, the mixed system of elections in Russian`s Duma (Parliament) was entirely changed to proportional vote system. Significant reduction of political parties in Russian Federation along with the substantial strengthening of the “ruling party” had a considerably negative effect on the changes in the voting system. However, in 2012 the mixed vote system was renewed and conditions for registration of political parties have been simplified. In this article the impact of changes in electoral law since 2005-2015 on the general conditions of the Russian party system today will be considered and analysed.
