Walter Sulzbach’s book, written in post-war Germany in the early 1920s, tries answering the question - why do people join hands to form parties? Why is politics in a democratic society primarily understood as party politics? What can be considered a political party, and what can’t, even if it is called so? What motives make people join this or that party?

A scrupulous sociologist that he is, the author prefers facts to any sort of reflection on the nature of philosophic foundations of politics. However, this is not a superficial analysis of partisanship as such. The various views of partisanship are scrutinized with German meticulousness, from Marxist to anarchist and nationalist ones. An attempt is made to classify partisanship, introduce the concept of false parties and investigate the nature of party coalitions.

As time goes by, the aging proponents of «Putin’s majority» continue supporting the President by pure inertia and for lack of any alternative. To the contrary, the young nucleus of Putin’s majority knows pretty well what they want from the President and the «United Russia» party. Over the past five years, the structure of Putin’s majority has radically changed. The share of young people who believe that the President is doing his job properly amounts to 71 per cent. 40 per cent of Putin’s supporters are under 35, and this share is roughly equal in all types of settlements, from the capitals to rural areas. The brochure provides detailed information on trends in the electorate’s preferences and changes in the voters’ views.

 The decades of domination of the doctrine of the so-called democratic centralism of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union made Russian people largely unaware of the logic of political party formation and the parties' democratic struggle for power. However, setting up a political party requires competence and skill. The book by a German social-democrat Hartmut Hess is a book written by a practical man for practical people. The author reveals the step-by-step techniques of primary party organizations' operation, their work with the electorate, recruiting new party members, achieving independence of the party budget from government and sponsor’s funds.
