Scholars worried that a lethal combination of social, economic, and geopolitical turmoil would propel the Russian government to the same tragic fate as their Weimar counterparts. Unwilling to forget the horrifying results of the collapse of the Weimar Republic and subsequent rise of the Third Reich, intellectuals recognized the analogy as a valuable tool for determining when, why, and with what consequences young democracies fail. While Vladimir Putin’s recent consolidation and verticalization of power has been well documented, the Weimar-Russia analogy has, since 1999, received comparatively little attention from academia or the media. The present exercise implements structural analogical reasoning to give historical perspective to the latest manifestations of the Putin-Medvedev duumvirate, ultimately suggesting that the country remains squarely on a Weimar trajectory. 2009 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1243871475 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1243871475 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
