| Summary/Abstract |
A quarter-century after the collapse of the USSR, authoritarian politics dominates seven of the fifteen successor states. Placing the post-communist authoritarian experience in the broader frame of nondemocratic governance, this essay explores the origins and operation of personalist rule in the region; the relationship between time and power; and the role of Soviet legacies in shaping the agenda and tools of leadership. It also examines the efforts of post-communist authoritarians to enhance personal and regime legitimacy by claiming to rule beyond politics. Within the post-communist world, the essay finds significant variation among authoritarian leaders in their approaches to personnel policy and to the use of policies, symbols, and narratives to address the ethnic and religious awakening spawned by the collapse of Soviet rule. The essay concludes with a brief assessment of the trajectories of post-communist authoritarian leadership.

| Summary/Abstract |
Using census materials, electoral laws and voting results from polling stations [uchastki] abroad, this study reveals the ways in which the Kyrgyzstani experience with expatriate voting aligns with, and diverges from, that of other labour-exporting countries, including those in the postcommunist world. A central concern of the article is explaining how and why Kyrgyzstan exhibited significant variation from 2010 to 2021 in rules and behaviour relating to voting from abroad (VFA). The study also illustrates that the electoral behaviour of the Kyrgyzstani diaspora is far from uniform across space as well as time.
