The authors analyze the main approaches to the definition of a political party. They come to the conclusion that only the parliamentary parties fall within the scope of narrowly defined concept, which makes this approach inapplicable for consideration of all organizations traditionally referred to as parties in Russian political science. The authors did consider the main approaches to political parties classifications. Special attention was paid to the concept of K. Janda characterized as a methodological tool opening wide possibilities of analysis of each particular party in the Russian party system.
Keywords: political party; political process; power; struggle for power; party system; institutionalization; problem orientation; ideology; electoral system.
