| description | Recently, the mass media and social networks have been discussing actively so-called
unpopular reforms implemented without proper discussion and wide popular approval.
The author identifies the signs and defines the concept of unpopular reform. He considers
the possible ways to increase the legitimacy of such reforms, and concludes that it
is necessary to use direct democracy institutions for this purpose. The author notes that
the institutions of direct democracy existing in Russia are not fully suitable for legitimizing
unpopular reforms. He justifies the necessity of introducing a radically new institution
of direct democracy for legitimizing unpopular reforms, and lists its key features.
Among them there should be the widespread use of digital technologies; the conciliatory
nature of this institution; the unambiguous regulation by federal laws the issues
that must pass through an approval procedure with the use of the new institution. |
