Summary/Abstract: Over the last several years Russia has become a state of hard authoritarianism where power structures dominate and the role of the opposition has decreased. Totalitarian structures have not yet fully crystallised. However, totalitarian political gnosis and mass and controlled social mobilisation are already in place, even if not fully effective. Thus, today’s Russia can be describedas a hybrid of two political regimes: hard authoritarianism and some immature elements of totalitarianism.
