Unlearning the Soviet tongue : discursive practices of a democratizing polity /

This book refines the discursive theory of democratization by juxtaposing the elite and lay discourses in post-Soviet Russia (1996-2008). Through examining how Russians position themselves as political subjects, the analysis demonstrates that Russians rarely identify as true democrats.
