This paper attempts to find out how the clientelist groups work and what part they play in the process of political institutionalization. First, the paradigm of institutionalization process is tentatively presented in the paper. The paper then locates the political culture in the process of institutionalization. Clientelist behaviour which has been said to be a part of political culture was a key to understanding Soviet politics. Therefore, clientelism associated with Gorbachev's and Yeltsin's leadership was comparatively examined. In conclusion, whether the clientelism is functional or dysfunctional to the political system of transitional period was discussed.A patron-client relationship is an alliance between two persons of unequal status, power or resources, each of whom finds it useful to have as an ally someone superior or inferior to himself.Under the Soviet regime, clientelist operations were accommodated, if not ideologically, by peculiar institutional set-ups. It was indeed an important aspect of systemic adjusting mechanism in Soviet policy processes.Power politics among contending clientelist groups are in appearance more marked during the transitional period than during Soviet period. That may be so. The paper proves that clientelist politics which are by nature dependable variables, require solid institutional back-ups. Without it, the clientelist groups cannot assert themselves as self-perpetuating elites. It is the latter who can exert a decisive influence upon the course of the Russian political system. One has to admit, however, that the emergence of such an elite cannot be expected unless these groups can pride themselves on the destiny of their own country.
