- Abstract
- The «Arab Spring» presented a serious test to regime of Ahmadinejad. The violent suppression of protests of opposition in 2009 still further widened the rift between conservatives and moderates. The divineleader who has in his hands many control levers is doing his best to undercut presidents prerogatives. The last parliamentary election also weakened Ahmadinejad’s position.Nevertheless the author believes that Iran can avoid disturbances like those which took place in the Arab countries. For 33 years since the Islamic revolution the regime has not only successfully survived but also demonstrated the ability to adjust to requirements of the day.
