Annotation	Political dynamics always includes natural processes of stowage and artificial processes of construction. The process of “defective cycling” of authoritarianism change, “modernization” and repeated kickbacks to authoritarianism is described. All these micro kickbacks of political dynamics occur against a background of stagnation and decomposition, which become apparent in brain drain and flight of capital, fall of small business, unprecedented raise of corruption, and education degradation. Political events in Russia at the beginning of the 21st century are described from the viewpoint of cyclic (“natural”) dynamic conception, theory of revolutions (“natural-artificial”) and strategy of common actors (“agent” or “artificial” point of view). Special attention is paid to the last authoritarian kickback (phase of reaction), which has started since the summer of 2012, and to possible scenarios of political dynamics, embranchments, factors of disintegration of repressive regime, understanding of self-strategies by conflicting parties and forming agenda.
Key words	contemporary Russian Federation, political dynamics, repressive regimes, elite’s dissent, revolution theories, protest movements, social-political crisis, democratization
