Abstract: One of the main tasks of post-communist transition has been that of creating “public” and “private” actors in place of the “mono-organizational” state-cum-society typical of the communist system. Unsurprisingly, such a complex undertaking has been fraught with difficulties. Even after formal organizational separation, boundaries between the two spheres have often remained less than clear-cut. This paper takes a closer look at the “public” side of the public-private divide by analyzing the hybrid nature of many post-Soviet governmental bodies. Such patterns, it argues, have come about as a result both of positive and negative constraints. While the demise of the Soviet Union opened up manifold new opportunities to administrative actors, the frequent severe underfunding of many budgetary organizations forced their officials to resort to private and semi-private sources of funding, and to commercialize their activities in order to support their official operations. |
