Description
Summary:This article discusses how a power deficit can be felt in the Russian province. The uneven economic development of the territory of Russia, large gaps between the center and the province give rise to the practice of a rapid centralization and exodus from the peripheral territories. This practice means the emergence of a deficit of infrastructure, which, in turn, causes a deficit of the power itself, which must serve this infrastructure. At the same time, the weakening of the bureaucratic pressure can also have its advantages for the inhabitants of the Russian provinces, whose economic freedom can be constructed in rather anarchic discourses. The lack of power means the emancipation of a person, his greater independence and variability in life forms.The article is based on the author’s observations and impressions, suggesting the field studies of various cases of perception of the power deficit in the Russian province.
