The Political System of the Russian Federation

The Russian Federation was set up by the Constitution of 1993. Russia is a presidential republic. It is headed by the President who is elected for four years. The President is commander-in-chief of the armed forces; he makes treaties and enforces laws. He also appoints the prime minister, cabinet members and judges of the Supreme Court. The government consists of three branches: legislative, executive and judicial. The legislative power is vested in the Federal Assembly, which 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 term. The Federation Council is not elected. It is formed of the heads of the regions. Each Chamber is headed by the Chairman.

New legislation is initiated in the State Duma. Any bill in order to become a law must be approved by the Lower and the Upper Houses. It is also must be 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. Russian is the official, but not the only language which people speak in the country. Members of more than 60 other ethnic groups who live in Russia speak their own languages. Religions are also diverse on the territory of the country. The Slavs are mostly Orthodox Christian, the Turkic speakers are mainly Muslim and the Mongolians are customarily Buddhist. The main legal document in the country is the Constitution. It guarantees the fundamental freedoms and rights of any Russian. Among these rights are the freedom of religion, speech and the press. The other important rights are the right of education, the right of medical care.
