Lacking a superpower’s resources, the Kremlin has tapped into its Soviet toolkit of active measures in pursuit of geopolitical strength. While influence campaigns stress-test democracies and disrupt political discourse around the world, the US—with its deep political schisms—remains particularly vulnerable to their damaging effects. |

June was the most abundant month so far in terms of cases of political p*****cution and human rights violations in Russia. On June 26, the verdict was announced in the high-profile case of the Seventh Studio, whose defendants received suspended sentences and heavy fines. The p*****cution of Russian scientists accused of high treason continued, as well as a large-scale campaign against Jehovah’s Witnesses. Russia’s longest-serving political prisoner Alexey Pichugin was denied pardon for the third time. |

June 25 marked the first day of the const***utional plebiscite in Russia, which will last until July 1. Apart from the keenly discussed amendments to the Russian const***ution that will allow Vladimir Putin to stay in power until at least 2036, a less noticed, but still crucial change has been introduced—codifying the status of Russian as the language of a state-forming nation. |

31 |
Before the COVID-19 pandemic swept across Russia, the Kremlin was planning to hold a referendum on const***utional reforms that would allow Vladimir Putin to stay in power until 2036. The vote will now take place in late June. The move signals that Putin remains invested in the legitimacy of pop****r approval, and the best possible outcome of the vote is likely to be produced now. |

An attempted merger of the Arkhangelsk Region and the Nenets Autonomous District in Russia’s north has reignited debates about territorial reforms in the country. An examination of previous attempts in 2003-2008 shows that the government has not learned its lesson, which threatens to elevate the risks in regional politics. |

Bloomberg recently estimated that Russia’s economy may contract by 16 percent in the second quarter of 2020. According to Russian analysts, its GDP declined by about 28 percent in April. Still, despite the unfolding economic crisis, there is no reason to believe that it will lead to political change. |

In this interview for IMR, political scientist Yana Gorokhovskaia spoke with Asmolov about digital innovation in Russia, state encroachment, and the Runet’s role during the COVID-19 pandemic. |
