Translation of the article by Evgenia Lyozina, 2021: "After the collapse of the Soviet regime, in full harmony with Herling-Grudzinski's warning, there was a gradual restoration of political police structures, but democratization did not take place. It seems that these two facts are related. Democratic transformation in Russia did not occur largely because state security structures, the backbone of Soviet communism and the most repressive institution, were not dismantled, and the employees of these structures involved in mass repression and human rights violations were not they were held accountable for their actions and retained the influence of their position. Except for fairly limited rehabilitation, no other transitional justice measures have been implemented in Russia. The conditions for the revenge of the nomenklatura and for the revenge of the special services developed in the years of perestroika."
