Makarin, A. V., Davydov, L. V. Social and Political Grounds of Reinforcement of the Ruling Party

The more dividends the ruling class gets from the Ruling Party, the more funds it is ready to invest in the party (including administrative resources). The opposite tendency is there, too: The Ruling Party is interested in getting as many investments as necessary. It readily accept stem, undertake new functions and try to be effective. To a certain extent, it is the channel allowing new people to join the ruling class.
