Leaders of States after Passing the Top of Their Political Career: Factors, Determining Roles, and Professional Trajectories

The authors concern themselves with the phenomenon of ex-leadership. Types of career trajectories are described in the article. Projection of those trajectories into the socio-political sphere has enabled the authors to characterize the main roles of “former” heads of states in the political system and the factors that influence them. Results of the analysis of this problem, with the material of the CIS countries taken as the object analyzed, are presented.
