(Europe-Asia Studies) The wave of protests that shook the Russian capital and scores of Russian cities over the period 2011 to 2013 came as a great shock to the political establishment in the Kremlin. After decades of the passive acceptance of the status quo it appeared that civil society was at last wakening up. However, by July 2013 the steam seemed to have run out of the protest movement. This collection examines the momentous developments that shook the political establishment over the period 2011 to 2013 in the Kremlin and it charts the rise and decline of the non-systemic opposition in Russia at both the national and regional levels.
