Article Abstract:
Recent attempts at Russian reforms have created a corrupt power structure, a semicriminal monopoly market, and vast economic gaps between the richest and poorest citizens. Centrist movements offer the most viable opportunity for social change, promoting moderization and improved efficiency that conform to Russian values and norms.
