Abstract

ABSTRACT: What are the prospects for development and for civil society as an actor in development processes in Russia's poorer, more remote regions and among neighbouring states that were once Soviet Republics? This viewpoint assesses the situation today from the author's vantage point working for a civil society support organisation in Kyrgyzstan, and taking into account the tense international situation and the crisis in Russia's economy.
