Elections have been the central institution of representative government since at least the ancient Greeks. The story of the extension of the franchise to (eventually) all adult citizens, and the establishment of the principle that the only decisions that could bind them were ones that had been taken by a parliament they elected, is essentially the story of modern democracy. Elections have a much shorter history in Russia; but the changes that followed the October manifesto of 1905 led to four successive elections to a newly established State Duma, and in November 1917, after the Bolsheviks had taken power, there were elections to a Constituent Assembly that was intended to define the nature of a post-tsarist future. Elections continued under Soviet rule, although (from an early stage) they were not competitive, and the principle was at least formally confirmed that the only body that could take decisions that were binding on all citizens was a parliament they had themselves elected. It was the people to whom ‘all power belonged’, explained the 1977 constitution, and they could exercise that power either directly, through a referendum, or indirectly, by electing representatives to the soviets of people’s deputies that had the exclusive authority to legislate.
