Background

The Kremlin on Wednesday announced the resignation of Vladislav Y. Surkov, in recent years a close aide to Prime Minister Dmitri A. Medvedev and one of the architects of Russia’s highly centralized political system, now under strain from protests and a slowing economy.

Mr. Surkov, a former advertising executive, coined the phrase “sovereign democracy” to describe the political system under President Vladimir V. Putin, a system that preserved popular elections but stripped them of meaning by closely manipulating the process, ostensibly to protect Russia from outside meddling.
