Abstract
This book is about the Russian state and the ways in which it functions. From the outset, it begs a general and perhaps not so obvious question: what happens when the ubiquitous elements of the state – institutions, laws, cohorts of civil servants of various rank and position, strategies and policies – do not work adequately, or function according to differing, multiple and seemingly contradictory logics?
