Cultures of Power in Post-Communist Russia: An Analysis of Elite Political Discourse
Urban, Michael (University of California, Santa Cruz)

He shows that Russian elites speak a language that not only militates against mutual understanding and consensus, but encourages authoritarian forms of political power.
