Abstract

It is difficult to characterize the Russian society as completely active or passive due to the high voter turnout, but simultaneously, a low level of involvement in political life. The research focuses on determining the extent of activity/passivity of the Russian society in the years 2000 – 2012. Results of the analysis revealed a degree of participation of the Russian citizens in the electoral decision-making process and their involvement in political life. It was answered to the question: to what extent Russian legislation allows society to participate in the political life, by estimating a political activity index (W ap(ap) ). Additionally, the political activity correlate index (W ap(k) ) was checked, that enable to correct the obtained result on the basis of legal provisions according to the real dimension of the Russian political activity.
