СТАТЬЯ:
The purpose of this article is to verify a Western-based theory of transformation
(transitology) in a context of the changes in the USSR in 80s and 90s. The author
analyzes the achievements of leading political scientists among others: Dankwart
Rustow, Juan Linz, Alfred Stepan, Guillermo O’Donnell, Philippe Schmitter
and John Higley. He concludes that theoretical models do not fully match the
post soviet reality. That is why further efforts to develop a model of post soviet
transformation should be continued.
