Abstract (may include machine translation)

Consolidating its power in Russia and post-Soviet space, the Russian administration strives for a double monopoly over natural resources and violence. To achieve these goals politically, the Kremlin cultivates a new parapolitical group of professionals that call themselves "political technologists." In this article, the authors analyze this group's changing methods and priorities with special reference to Russian responses to the Ukrainian Revolution of 2004.
