By analysing successive federal elections, Reisinger and Moraski show that regions that led the way in delivering votes in Putin's favour were those that had been both more independent and more authoritarian during the Yeltsin era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe authors set for themselves an ambitious goal of tracing the evolution of the timing, institutions, and competitiveness of subnational elections, as well as of national-regional electoral links, political, and institutional change from the late Soviet period to the present.
