| Title | Politically Ideological Opposition in Hybrid Regimes: To what extend they are treated differently? Case Study of Russian Federation |
| Summary | The following research aims to find and explain the difference in state reactions towards non-ideological and ideological opposition in hybrid regimes. The theoretical background and definition of non-ideological and ideological opposition is presented and formulated based on theoretical background of protest studies and studies of hybrid regimes. Through comparative case study, three pairs of cases (one from non-ideological, other from ideological opposition) are compared. Unlike their non-ideological counterparts, the positive political agenda of ideological opposition makes them an alternative to the existing political regime, which motivates state to utilize more repressive measures when dealing with them. The main finding of research confirms the hypothesis, and significant differences in state reaction are found in two pair of cases (leaders and terrorist groups). The last pair (protesters) only shows minor difference in state reaction towards non-ideological and ideological opposition. |
