Understanding politics is always difficult, as political systems and behavior change constantly, ... more Understanding politics is always difficult, as political systems and behavior change constantly, and because they can be viewed differently by observers. This is all the more true with Russian politics, which has been adrift between democratization and authoritarian inclination. Still President Vladimir Putin’s regime between 2000 and 2007 was, though less democratic, more stable and predictable1 than previous times of uncertainty. Following this period was a tandem regime or duumvirate by Dmitry Medvedev as president and Putin as prime minister. Under this dual leadership system, things became more complicated and attracted wider attention. This tandem system of leadership ended in 2012 officially, and the new regime called PutinII has been evolving from May 2012 onward.

Takashi Inoguchi (professor, University of Niigata Prefecture) in the article “Voters Swing, and Swing Away Soon: Japan 2012” analyzes the key tasks of E.Noda’s government (namely, recovery, government deficits, social policy, and alliance) and the way it dealt with them. Particular attention is paid to changes in Japanese politics evoked by globalization. The author summarizes that swings and swing-aways in voter support are likely to continue for a while in Japanese domestic politics. Yutaka Harada (professor, Waseda University) in the article “An Economist’s View of Japanese Politics” expresses his opinion regarding economic development of Japan in correlation with policy issues. The author analyzes Abenomics, economic policy of S.Abe’s government, which consists of monetary easing, expansion of public investment, and strengthening of a growth strategy, and criticizes some of its measures. Shigeki Hakamada (professor, University of Niigata Prefecture) dwells on relevant challenges confronting Japanese foreign policy and outlines priorities for its development in the article “How Will the Change of Government Affect Japanese Foreign Policy?”. He points out that most Southeast Asian countries want Japan to become a slightly stronger, more decisive, yet not militaristic in the very near future and considers it safe for Japan to strengthen its security policy. Akio Kawato (professor, Waseda University) in the article “How Japan Weighs Russia’s Strength and Weakness in Asia” analyzes the nature, habits, strength and weakness of contemporary Russian foreign policy and its bearing on the Russo-Japanese relations. He underlines that although Japan and Russia will not “pivot” on each other, they will have more reasons for closer cooperation. Finally, Nobuo Shimotomai (professor, Hosei University) analyzes development of Russian political system through the perspective of political leadership and weights various expert opinions regarding interpretation of Putinism in the article “From Tandem to Putin II – A Japanese View”. In his opinion, the “Primakov phenomenon” is one of the key challenges for Kremlin that wanted to enhance the weight of the President.

According to an RSFSR (Russian Republic) decree on the relationship between the regional executive committee (oblispolkom) and the city executive committee (gorispolkom), the city had considerable autonomy vis-a-vis the region. The chairman of the oblispolkom could not simultaneously be chairman of the gorispolkom. This trend was strengthened when the city was detached from the region.2

Thus its history is closely tied to the development of Russian culture, government and economy.

Moscow, served by eleven main lines, was an important transport centre for the USSR and one of Europe’s largest railway centres. The railways carried fuel, construction materials, grain and metals for the capital’s industries and were beginning to carry metal and engineering products out of Moscow. Some of the suburban lines were being electrified.

The Moscow Party organisation was the largest of the local units and its membership included some of the most urbanised, proletarianised, and politically active people. In 1931–34, which included the 1932–33 crisis, the organisation was led by L. M. Kaganovich, the key figure in Stalin’s Politburo and secretariat after July 1930. This appointment was made as a consequence of the preceding ‘deviationist’ trends; the ‘Right opportunist’ leadership of Uglanov (1924—November 1928) had been followed by the ‘leftist excess’ of Bauman (1929–30 April 1930), (see pp. 3–4 above).1
