| Summary/Abstract |
There is a broad consensus that the Duma and presidential elections held in Russia in 2007-2008 failed to meet internationally recognised democratic standards. Post-election public opinion surveys, however, show that most Russians thought that the elections were mainly fair. This discrepancy between the views of international observers and of Russians themselves has not been adequately explained. The main aim of this article, utilising data from a series of focus groups, is to identify potential explanations for why so many Russians assessed these elections as fair, when there was so much evidence to the contrary. Why did so many Russians view egregiously unfair elections as fair? What, furthermore, can this tell us about Russians' political values and what are the possible implications of this for Russia's political development?

| Summary/Abstract |
To embrace curbs on his own power, Putin would need to act as much out of character as Medvedev would need to act against instinct in order to confront his benefactor.

| Summary/Abstract |
In this article, the author examines the debates over how the Russian Empire was to rebuild its navy after the disaster at Tsushima. While many plans were proposed, the debate came down to a contest of legitimacy between Nicholas II and individuals within the Duma, particularly A. I. Guchkov, the leader of the Octobrists. Nicholas II triumphed over his opponents, leading to an expensive and unfinished navy which diverted resources from other key areas, such as the manufacture of rifles and shells. These shortages played an important role in the Empire's defeat in World War I.
