These and other topics are considered in the context of Russia’s interests and the role of Russia on the post-Soviet territory.The author’s opinion is that a typical feature of oligarchic regimes in the post-Soviet states has become a refusal to have an independent policy and a course aimed at the introduction of an external control. In this case, the sovereignty and national interests of a country are sacrificed for the interests of the transnational oligarchy. Local politicians and oligarchs act as its agents. Naturally the externally controlled countries (Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine) have found themselves far behind the other post-Soviet states.According to the author, the most successful of the post-Soviet states have become the states with a well-developed and rigid administrative and bureaucratic vertical of authority, which was able to limit the role of the oligarchy and local criminal structures in politics. Acting in this way, the nation-oriented part of the government and business have managed to prevent the dictatorship of the transnational oligarchy, overcome the negative implications of transformational crisis and ensure internal political, social and economic strength within new state boundaries. This creates opportunities for accelerated modernization and construction of a more democratic state system.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Целью статьи является анализ наиболее значимых процессов и тенденций на территории бывшего СССР, связанных преимущественно с внутриэкономическими и внутриполитическими проблемами, итогов 25-летнего периода независимого развития постсоветских государств, особенностей их политической и социально-экономической трансформации. Эти и другие темы рассматриваются в контексте интересов России и ее роли на постсоветском пространстве.По мнению автора, характерной особенностью олигархических режимов в постсоветских государствах стал отказ от самостоятельной политики и курс на введение внешнего управления, когда суверенитет и национальные интересы государств приносятся в жертву интересам транснациональной олигархии, а также выступающих ее агентами местных политиков и олигархов. Закономерно, что государства под внешним управлением (Грузия, Молдова, Украина) оказались на постсоветском пространстве в числе отстающих.По мнению автора, наиболее успешными из постсоветских государств стали те, где была выстроена жесткая административно-бюрократическая вертикаль власти, сумевшая ограничить роль олигархии и местных криминальных структур в политической жизни. Таким путем национально ориентированная часть бюрократии и бизнеса сумела предотвратить установление диктата транснациональной олигархии, преодолеть основные негативные последствия трансформационного кризиса, обеспечить внутриполитическую и социально-экономическую стабильность в новых государственных границах. Это создает необходимые предпосылки для решения задачи ускоренной модернизации и строительства более демократического государственного устройства.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>post-Soviet states</kwd><kwd>post-Soviet elites</kwd><kwd>oligarchic regimes</kwd><kwd>bureaucratic vertical of authority</kwd><kwd>the transnational oligarchy</kwd><kwd>modernization</kwd><kwd>sovereignty</kwd><kwd>national interests</kwd><kwd>globalization</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>постсоветские государства</kwd><kwd>постсоветские элиты</kwd><kwd>олигархические режимы</kwd><kwd>бюрократическая вертикаль власти</kwd><kwd>транснациональная олигархия</kwd><kwd>модернизация</kwd><kwd>суверенитет</kwd><kwd>национальные интересы</kwd><kwd>глобализация</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Aslund, A.
