Martin Brusis & Joachim Ahrens 
Politics and Legitimacy in Post-Soviet Eurasia [PDF ebook] 

Political legitimacy has become a scarce resource in Russia and other post-Soviet states. Their capacity to deliver prosperity has suffered from economic crisis, war in Ukraine and confrontation with the West. Will nationalism and repression enable political regimes to survive? This book studies the politics of legitimation in Post-Soviet Eurasia.
