The influence of the nomenklatura on post-soviet administration - New York : Marcel Dekker, 1995
The persistence of Soviet era senior level management in the administration of the states recently emerged from the former USSR is examined. The extent of such persistence is illustrated by reference to Lithuania. Subsequently, the validity of the commonly held belief that the continuation of the nomenklatura is detrimental to reform is affirmed. It is concluded that the as yet widespread prevalence of the nomenklaturists inhibits reform in that they are bearers of an organizational culture which is antithetical to public administration in liberal democracies.
