“The Foreign Policy Centre launched the publication of ‘Dictatorship or Reform? the Rule of Law in Russia’, a collection of essays by international experts in the field, including Alena Ledeneva and Mary McAuley. Rule of law is a cornerstone of democracy and essential to a well-functioning market economy that protects individual human rights. Yet it is ironic that in the six years since he pledged to uphold democracy in Russia as a ‘dictatorship of the law’, President Putin has increased the role of the federal security service in governing Russia and arbitrarily wielded the power of state institutions such as the courts, the tax inspectors, and the police for political ends."
