Analysing how decisions are made in authoritarian regimes arguably reveals more about their structure and character than studying ersatz political parties and manipulated elections.
This event discusses decision-making in Russia in relation to internet policy, the judiciary and political actors. Particular emphasis will be devoted to how decision-making has been altered by the recent constitutional changes.
