TEXT 1.
THE STATE BODY STRUCTURE
Russia is a democratic federative law-governed state with a republican
form of government. The population of Russia is about 140 million people and the
territory is 17 million square kilometers. The Russian Federation consists of 89
constituent entities (republics, krays, and oblasts, cities of federal significance,
autonomous oblasts and autonomous okrugs, which have equal rights). The
authorities of the constituent entities have the right to pass laws independently

from the federal government. These laws are valid on the territory of the appropriate federate division, but they cannot contradict the federal laws. In case of conflicts between federal and local authorities, the President uses consensual procedures to resolve the problem. In the event a consensus is not reached, the dispute is transferred to the appropriate court for its resolution. The Russian President has the right to suspend acts passed by local executive authorities in case that these acts conflict with federal laws of Russia, its international commitments,
or if they violate the human and civil rights and freedoms until the issue is resolved
by appropriate court.
State power in Russia is carried out by dividing power into three independent
branches: legislative, executive and judicial. Legislative power belongs to the
Federal Assembly (the Parliament). Executive power belongs to the central and
local governments. Judicial power is provided by appropriate judicial system and
by civil, administrative and criminal legislation.
The President is the head of the state and determines the basic objectives of
the internal and external policy of the state. He is elected for four years on the
basis of universal, equal and direct right to vote by secret ballot for all eligible
citizens. One and the same person cannot serve as President for more than two
terms in succession. The President stops performing his duties ahead of time if
he resigns, because of impeachment, or if he cannot continue to carry out his
duties due to poor health. Elections of a new President are to take place within
three months and in the meantime his duties are acted upon by the Chairman of
the Government of the Russian Federation.
The President appoints, with the consent of the State Duma, the Chairman of
the Government of the Russian Federation, chairs the meetings of the government,
and adopts the decisions on the resignation of the government. The President
nominates to the State Duma a candidate for appointment to the post of the
Chairman of the Central Bank, presents to the Federation Council candidates for

|
the posts of the Constitutional and Supreme Court justices, Supreme Arbitrage
Court justices, and a candidate for the post of Prosecutor General. The President
forms and heads the Security Council. He is the Supreme Commander-in-Chief
of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and appoints and dismisses the
supreme commanders of the Armed Forces. He appoints diplomatic
representatives for approval by the Parliament. He confers supreme military and
supreme special titles and honorary titles of the state. He has the right to show
mercy and to decide on issues of citizenship. He has the right to introduce the
state of emergency throughout the country or in a particular territory within the
Russian Federation. The President has the right to dissolve the State Duma, to
announce elections ahead of time and to pass the decision to conduct a referendum
on federal issues.
