Abstract

The beginning of 2013 was marked by yet another outburst of opposition-led protest activity in Moscow, this time unexpectedly strong: according to different sources, between 20 and 50 thousand people took part in the March Against Scoundrels, which was aimed against the ‘Anti-Magnitsky Law’ adopted by the State Duma at the end of December 2012. Meanwhile, Parliament resumed business after the New Year recess, and once again began to churn out legally ambiguous, conservative and thoroughly repressive legislative acts.

Keywords: Russian economy, civil society, socio-economic situation

JEL Classification: P48
