Observations of the past and contemporary situations in Russia on meso - and microeconomic levels make some experts suggest that there may be a special type of an organizational model offered for peer consideration. Moreover a more thorough analysis can prompt examples of the "Russian model" features dispersed among other national and organizational types. The cases observed in this paper give a possibility to check the validity of the proposed Helical Institutional Development Scheme (HIDS). The paper suggests that the HIDS might be regarded not only as a sketch of a decision making model. It may show the direction in which the dynamic institutional and organizational theory might develop: from the analysis of situations with the stable certainty (complete and perfect information) to the "stable" uncertainty and then to "unstable uncertainty" cases where peoples' preferences and beliefs are changing. Within the HIDS frameworks the paper offers an explanation for the Russian organization's phenomenon and some recommendations for a successful management in contexts similar to those of Russia.
