The research paper explores the conditions affecting the emergence of liberal democracy in contemporary Russia, analyzing economic, social, and political factors. Utilizing Robert Dahl's criteria for an ideal democracy, it assesses Russia's current political landscape. The findings suggest that despite economic growth, Russia's centralized government and a depoliticized society hinder the development of democratic values. The author argues that significant societal transformation is essential for Russia to achieve true liberal democracy in both the short and long term.
