Political Science for Those Who Didn't Know It Was a Science (Politologiya dlya tekh, kto ne znal, chto eto nauka)

If you are one of those who changes the channel every time the news or a political talk show starts on TV because you don't understand what it's all about, then this book is for you! This is not a textbook on political science; there are no long chapters or complex definitions. Everything is simple and clear! What is a state and how is it structured, why do we need political parties, and what is political culture? How does democracy differ from autocracy? Why is it necessary to hold a referendum? The book will not only explain the basics of political science but also help you understand questions such as: how much can we trust public opinion polls, can bloggers influence the situation in the country, what can the European Union turn into? Perhaps after reading this book, you won't become a political scientist, but you will learn a lot of interesting things about society and your rights.
