В статье анализируются электоральные процессы в трех постсоветских непризнанных или частично признанных де-факто государствах: Нагорном Карабахе, Абхазии и Приднестровье. В частности, рассматриваются президентские выборы в Абхазии (август 2011), Приднестровье (декабрь 2011) и Нагорном Карабахе (июль 2012). На основе анализа интервью с акторами электоральной политики данное исследование дает всестороннюю оценку динамики электоральной политики в границах непризнанных или частично признанных постсоветских государств.

The article charts the development of electoral politics in three of the four post-Soviet unrecognised or partially recognised de facto states, namely Nagorno-Karabakh, Abkhazia, and Transnistria. In particular, it examines presidential elections in Abkhazia (August 2011), Transnistria (December 2011) and Nagorno-Karabakh (July 2012). This research addresses the existing lacunae by providing a comprehensive assessment of the dynamics of electoral politics within these three unrecognised or partially recognised post-Soviet states.
