A comparative analysis of the electoral systems, parliamentary and presidential elections of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus,1994–2021

Summary/Abstract: The study aims to compare the political systems of three former Soviet republics, based on the parliamentary election systems, the role of political parties and the use of presidential power. The transformation of these three countries – Russia, Ukraine and Belarus – lasting to this day occurred in the relatively same period, and although the roots were the same for all three states (the Soviet Union), they developed in different directions. In order to measure the efficiency and cohesion of the state organization, the study compares the electoral systems of the three examined states on the basis of the Hartshorne model; with the help of the electoral maps it tries to show the fault lines and connections for the given state. By means of the participation rates, the Loosemore–Hanby (LH) index and the effective number of parties, it clarifies whether the state structure under analysis has been strengthened or weakened. Based on the comparative analysis of the three states, the study is also looking for answers regarding the political system of the three countries: in what extent are these similar or different nowadays.
