Abstract: | After decades of central state control, the devolution of political power could be considered as a precondition for proper democratisation of Russian society. Decentralisation and territorial self-organization were not only supposed to revive ethnocultural traditions as a counterweight of tackling national conflicts by military means, but also to enhance the efficiency and responsiveness of political authorities to local demand, which could have its own impact on market reform. |
