Moreover, Russia needs a system of checks and balances compatible with its own culture and tradition, because this, together with the rule of law, is an indispensable precondition of a functioning democracy. Finally, Russia will need to build a functioning party system, capable of sustaining Russian democracy.
但是这将要求进行痛苦的政治现代化，也就意味着限制中央集权。最为重要的方面是确保实际的司法独立。而且，俄国需要与其文化和传统相适应的制衡制度，因为，这与法治一样是运转正常的民主制度不可或缺的前提条件。最后，俄国还需要建立正常运作的政党制度，这一制度能够维持俄国的民主。鉴于俄国幅员辽阔，两党制度好像是最为适合的。
