The Russian Federation was set up by the
Constitution of 1993. After its destruction in 1991, the Soviet Union was broken
into an independent Russia and 14 other new, sovereign nations.
The Russian Federation is a presidential (or a constitutional) republic. The
President is the head of state and is elected directly by the people. He controls all
the three branches of power. The President is commander-in-chief of the armed
forces, he makes treaties and enforces laws, appoints the prime minister, cabinet
members and key judges. The President can override and in some cases even
dissolve the national parliament, the bicameral Federal Assembly. The President
has his administration, but it is not part of the Federal Government. The President
is involved in the work of the legislative and executive branches.
The government consists of three branches: legislative, executive and judicial.
Each of them is checked and balanced by the President. The legislative power is
vested in the Federal Assembly. It consists of the Federation Council (upper house)
and the State Duma (lower house). The members of the State Duma are elected
by popular vote for a four-year period. The Federation Council is not elected. It is
formed of the heads of the regions. Each Chamber is headed by the Chairman.
Legislature is initiated in the State Duma, but to become a law a bill must be
approved by the lower and upper houses and signed by the President. The
executive power belongs to the Government. The judicial branch is represented
by the Constitutional Court, the Supreme Court and regional courts.
