This edition examines two key issues of political economy. Firstly, Stephen Crowley and Irina Olimpieva consider the question of whether Russia’s workers will remain stoic despite economic hardship, or rise up in protest? Secondly, Gulnaz Sharafutdinova investigates the crucial role of regional governments in maintaining social and economic stability, by assessing the strategies developed by the government of Tatarstan to cope with the current economic crisis.
