Abstract
Based on the concepts of hybrid regimes and elec-toral authoritarianism, the paper defines the features of regional parliamentarism in the modern Russian hybrid political regime. It is concluded that the hy-brid nature of the Russian political regime with a predominant authoritarian component has a signifi-cant restraining effect on the practice of regional parliamentarism. At the same time, the very fact of the nominal existence of regional parliamentarism in Russia is indicative of the presence of hidden dem-ocratic opportunities in the Russian political system. The author suggests a model of analysis of features of formation and evolution of regional parliamentar-ism. The main elements of this model are political institutions (political parties, with the leading role of the “United Russia”, the Parliament, as well as for-mal and informal rules of interaction), political cul-ture (and attitudes of the political elite), the nature and direction of actual actions of political parties (in comparison with the functions stated in their сhar-ters), and groups of the political elite that implement their own strategies through political parties.
