EnglishRussian
authoritarian successor partyпартия-преемник авторитарного режима (the party that emerge from authoritarian regimes, but continue to operate under democracy. For many former authoritarian ruling parties, there is life after dictatorship. Authoritarian successor parties have been present in nearly three-quarters of all new democracies in Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe. More than half the time, these parties are voted back into office. These parties benefit from their "inheritance" – the party brand, territorial organization, and party finances that continue to generate political support. Of course, these parties can also suffer from "authoritarian baggage." Prior human rights abuses (mass repressions) or poor governmental performance, for instance, can be heavy burdens. Whether the party is likely to succeed or fail depends on the balance of the two: the more inheritance and less baggage, the better. There are PR strategies for the party to offload its authoritarian baggage and rebound: 1) "contrition," when new party leaders apologize for the abuses of the old regime, 2) "obfuscation," with the party downplaying its links to the old regime, 3) "scapegoating," with the party embracing a "good" new dictator, but denouncing a "bad" dictator. The party offloads its authoritarian baggage onto the "bad" dictator, while profiting from the aspects of the old regime that voters remember fondly. // Washington Post)
