Political life of society

By Anatoly Luzan

This paper examines political life in post-Soviet states. Although political science is not strictly scientific, it is shown that in post-Soviet countries all the main categories of political science are distorted compared to how they appear in classical political science. Political activity, which is the expression and realisation of the interests of political actors through state power, is replaced by state policy. Political actors are reduced to a group of people who make national decisions in the state, and interest groups, which are the main political actors, are completely forgotten. Parties are seen as personnel parties, and party systems are defined by the number of parties in the state. The political regime is not an indicator of the relationship between the state and the individual, but rather the relationship between state power and the opposition. Democracy is also reduced to this. The author argues against considering the political culture of society as the subject of political science rather than political life.
