The book explores the discursive theory of democratization in post-Soviet Russia from 1996 to 2008 by contrasting elite and lay discourses. It reveals that many Russians struggle to see themselves as genuine democrats, highlighting a complex relationship with political identity. Through this analysis, the author sheds light on the nuances of Russian political subjectivity and the challenges faced in embracing democratic ideals.
