Abstract

On the basis of factors such as ideology, the degree of populism, political leadership and form of the government a complex comparativeanalysis of the formation and development of the party system in Lithuania and Russia in the post-communist period wascarried out. Summing up, it should be noted that both Russian and Lithuanian party parliamentarism are being progressively consolidated.At the same time they continue to suffer from many shortcomings owing to negative historical heritage, characterized byauthoritarian single-party system, cult of the leader, ideological populism and undeveloped civil society, and also because of theprolonged transition period of young democracies. Speaking about the prospects of the development of the party systems of twocountries, it can be assumed that in the medium term the current situation should not change dramatically.
