Abstract: This article reviews the changes that have taken place in the role of trade unions in Russia since the collapse of the Soviet system in 1991. The paper argues that Russian trade unions have failed to establish a new identity as bodies representative of their members' interests because of their twin dependence on management and on the state. Dependence on management at enterprise level is well attested by a large body of research, but the continuing dependence on the state has been less remarked on. The paper details the forms of this dependence, paying particular attention to the new legislation on trade unions and industrial relations introduced in 1996.
