Disenfranchised in Post-Soviet Russian Historiography
DOI: 10.31518/2618-9100-2024-1-9
The article examines the development of the study of the topic of deprivation of voting rights in Soviet Russia in Russian historiography of the post-Soviet period. Since the beginning of the 1990s, when this topic began to be studied from new evaluative positions, a large number of diverse studies have appeared on the “disenfranchised”. Some of the authors study legislation in the field of electoral law and its implementation in practice. Others have focused their attention on the socio-cultural appearance of the “disenfranchised”, exploring their individual categories, and identifying the specifics of the situation of various groups. Representatives of the third direction shift the emphasis to the study of personal documents of persons deprived of voting rights, studying speech practices, drawing up a psychological portrait of the petitioners.
