尽管最近学术界对独裁继承政党给予了很多关注，但大多数现有研究并没有对被推翻政权的前精英干部的生存模式进行实证检验。本研究探讨了前执政党成员在独裁政权垮台后的选举中生存的条件。本研究利用乌克兰 450 名国家立法机构现任议员和 2869 名地区立法机构现任议员的综合数据，考察了崩溃的执政党地区党 (PoR) 前成员的生存情况，并表明拥有个人资源的前 PoR 代表，例如在单一成员选区当选的议员，更有可能在随后的选举中获得席位。此外，就前选举委员会代表的党派关系而言，选举考量胜过政治纲领或意识形态。这些发现凸显了独裁执政党前成员的个人资源对政治生存的重要性。
Although much scholarly attention has recently been devoted to authoritarian successor parties, most existing studies have not empirically examined the survival patterns of former elite cadres of overthrown regimes. This study explores the conditions under which members of former ruling parties survive in the elections that follow the collapse of authoritarian regimes. Exploiting the comprehensive data of 450 incumbents of the national legislature and 2869 incumbents of the regional legislatures in Ukraine, this study examines the survival of the former members of a collapsed ruling party, the Party of Regions (PoR), and demonstrates that former PoR deputies with individual resources, such as those elected in single-member districts, were more likely to secure seats in the subsequent elections. Additionally, electoral calculations prevailed over political programmes or ideologies in terms of party affiliations of former PoR deputies. These findings highlight the importance of individual resources of ex-members of authoritarian ruling parties in political survival.
