| Research Abstract |
The paper reflects recent research conducted in Moscow concerning social unrest in that city. Muscovites submit problems concerning their day-to-day lives that they cannot resolve on their own to an office in the Kremlin designated to hear the resident' s cases.
As a matter of fact, I myself made a visit to the office. As it had been receiving a large number of direct pleas from all over the country, the office conducted interviews with the residents. The populace directly makes appeals concerning problems in their regional societies to the president of Russia, leaving the final decision to him.
Communities have been formed in the regional societies and are deeply involved in managing and resolving these local problems. Ironically, this proactive participation in politics by the people is therefore contributing to the enhancement of the president' s power base.
