    Question

    Russia scored 5.02/10 (hybrid regime) in the first edition of the Democracy Index published in 2006 by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU). However, the rating has quickly deteriorated and it is scoring 3.31/10 (authoritarian regime) in the 2020 edition of the index.

    When will The Economist rank Russia as a Democracy in its Democracy Index?

    This question will resolve when the Democracy Index rates Russia as 6.01/10 or higher (the minimum score to be considered a democracy) in at least one report.

    The resolution date is the date the report is published.

    The question applies to Russia as well as to a successor state if it is widely internationally recognized as such.

    If Russia or its successor state do not attain the score of 6.01/10 or higher at any point before 2080, the question resolves at the upper bound.
