Abstract: As the public and private institutions of the post-Soviet world are reconfigured, the prominence of local politics in determining who decides what, when, and how may not necessarily
be bad. Recent empirical analysis of Third World public and private interaction has offered strong arguments that local politics may determine
the outlines of local government more efficiently than centrally driven campaigns (de Soto 1989).
The failure of the collectivist experiment in Russia and its borderlands is a lesson of importance for theoreticians and practitioners alike. Any analyst who truly seeks to understand
institutions, hierarchy, and collective forms of management cannot afford to ignore it.
