Summer 1 Research Proposal: Legitimacy of Russian Opposition Parties

This is my research proposal for my Summer 2021 (first summer) project. It describes my goals for researching the legitimacy of recently-formed opposition parties in light of the upcoming Russian election as well as the topic of democratic elements in a broadly autocratic system.

Hi! My name is Lia, and I am in my final year at Cornell University. I'm majoring in Government and pursuing an independent major that combines politics, international studies, and sociology. My first-year Laidlaw project was focused on researching Russian political parties in the lead-up to the country's 2021 parliamentary elections. During my second summer, I traveled to Choma, Zambia through the Laidlaw centralized project with Columbia University.
