How Russia is Governed
Russia is a presidential republic under the Constitution. The government consists of 3 branches: legislative, executive and judicial. Legislative power is exercised by the Federal Assembly. It consists of 2 chambers: the Council of Federation and the State Duma. Each chamber is headed by the Chairman who is often called the Speaker. A bill may be introduced in any chamber, it becomes a law if it is approved by both chambers and signed by the President. The President may veto the bill.
The executive power belongs to the government of the Cabinet of Ministers.
The judicial power is represented by the Constitutional Court, the Supreme Court and the regional courts.
The President controls all the branches. He is also the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, he makes treaties, enforces laws, appoints ministers.
The president is elected for a term of 6 years and can be re-elected for another term but not longer than this.
Russia now consists of entities – subjects of the Russian Federation:
republics; krays (territories); oblasts (regions); 2 cities of federal significance: Moscow and St Petersburg; one autonomous oblast (autonomic region) and autonomous okrugs (districts).
On 13th May 2000, 7 Federal Districts were created by presidential decree. This reform is aimed to make the federation function in a more controlled way. It is the job of the President to appoint a representative in each district. The federal districts are: Central (around Moscow); North-Western (St Petersburg); Volga (Nizhniy Novgorod); Urals (Yekaterinburg); Siberian (Novosibirsk); Far Eastern (Khabarovsk) and Southern (Rostov-On-Don).
