International Area Studies Review, 2001, vol. 4, issue 2, 111-122

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the causes of tension between the center and the periphery in the Russian Federation. In this paper, two factors, the legacy of the Soviet Era and the indeterminacy of the 1993 Constitution are mainly discussed. For the verification of this assertion, the case of the Russian Far East is specifically analyzed. Since the emergence of Vladimir Putin, all reform measures taken by him can be considered anti-federalist. Much of what President Putin says and does indicates that the new president, in contrast to the previous one, does not favor Russia's federal structure, or at least does not understand federalism. In this context, the future of center-periphery relations in Russia is gloomy.
