Summary/Abstract
Russia was among many countries hit by protest mobilisations in the aftermath of the Great Recession. Changes in the patterns of political mobilisation seemed to go hand-in-hand with attitude change and shifts in the social structure, such as the emergence of a mass urban middle class. These developments stimulated a lively academic debate on the relationships between the patterns of protest, the nature of the political regime, attitude change and social modernisation. Economic success does not preclude the expansion of protest activity; for example, in China since 1994 the annual number of protest events has grown even faster than per capita Gross Domestic Product and in 25 years increased by a factor of 20.1 Mature liberal democracies also seem to be conducive to protest mobilisations, which allowed Meyer et al. (1998) to define them as ‘movement’ societies. In a recent study of 283 mobilisation episodes from 1900 to 2012, Beissinger and Putnam (2014) conclude that revolutions have become more frequent and have given rise to a new urban model centring on civic purposes rather than goals of social transformation. This model assumes a transition to different tactics (from rural-based rebellions to mass protests in urban spaces) and a different class composition of protesters (from peasants and workers to the urban middle class).

2012.
Summary/Abstract
Moscow's anti-Putin protesters have captured the world's attention. But does their message resonate outside the big cities? New research shows that although Russians in the provinces have no taste for revolution, noisy street protests, or abstract slogans, they are deeply unhappy with the current political system and may soon demand change themselves.
