Abstract

ABSTRACT The article studies a set of ideological orientations and policy networks in Russia that could be grouped under the term “technocratic liberalism.” It provides an account of the origins of the liberal economic experts, their participation in various reform projects, their political and discursive strategies. The focus is on the contradictions of the technocratic approach to reform as revealed in the discourse and actual practice of the reformers, and their attempts to overcome or avoid these contradictions that ultimately led them to the position they found themselves in after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
