This study is devoted to inter-party transitions in the process of transformation of the party system in Russia.

We are asking ourselves what role the institutionalization and structural characteristics of the party system play in this process. The study was conducted within the framework of the methodology of neoinstitutionalism of rational choice using biographical and comparative analysis methods.
