Summary/Abstract: This article concerns voluntary abstention from vote among citizens, which has become a palpitating problem in many states around the globe. An analysis of the subjective and objective reasons for absenteeism and its possible consequences for the political system of a state is presented. A differentiation between haphazard and protest absentees is provided. The particular characteristics of absenteeism in modern Russia and the grounds for the low interest of Russian citizens in politics are studied. A conclusion is made that self-alienation has a decisive impact on the level of political activity in the Russian Federation.
