 <title>Promoting Democracy: Progress Report on U.S. Democratic Development Assistance to Russia</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed U.S.-funded democracy
programs in Russia, focusing on whether these projects met their
developmental goals and contributed to political reform during fiscal
years 1990 through 1994.&lt;p/&gt;GAO found that: (1) U.S.-funded democracy projects have increased the
quality and self-sufficiency of Russia&apos;s democracy movement by assisting
prodemocracy political activists and parties, proreform trade unions,
court systems, legal academies, government officials, and media
organizations, but the results of Russian democracy projects have been
mixed; (2) although U.S.-funded projects contributed to improvements in
the Russian news media, trade unions, and electoral system projects
designed to improve political party development, the rule of law, and
civil-military relations have fallen short of desired goals; (3) the
most important factor in project success has been the conduciveness of
the Russian environment to reform; (4) the Department of State and
Agency for International Development believe that Russian pro-democratic
reforms will take longer than previously anticipated; and (5)
U.S.-funded projects have not had a significant impact on reformist
national political party organizations, membership, or electoral
performance, since reformist parties have been unwilling or unable to
form coalitions, build national organizations, or convince the Russian
public to support their political message.</abstract>
