According to the Constitution adopted in 1993, the Russian Federation is a presidential republic. Just like political systems in other countries, our political system also has three branches of power˸ legislative, executive and judicial.

The Federal Assembly represents the legislative branch of power. It is also made up of two houses˸ the Federation Council and the State Duma, which make laws. Both houses are headed by chairmen called speakers. Russia is divided into 89 federal subjects. Each subject elects two representatives to the Federation Council, so there are 178 members in the Federation Council. The State Duma consists of 450 deputies. 225 members are elected directly by the people. The other half of deputies is appointed by their parties after party-list voting according to which every party gains a number of seats. The main function of the Federal Assembly is to make laws. Every law must be approved by the State Duma and the Federation Council, and signed by the President.

The Federal Government represents the executive branch of power. It consists of the Prime Minister and the Cabinet of Ministers.

The President is the head of state in Russia and he is elected directly by the people. In fact he has a lot of power. The President can even dissolve the State Duma if it doesn't agree with his sugges­tions three times running. 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 judicial branch of power is represented by the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court. The Supreme Court is the highest court for civil and criminal cases. The responsibility of the Constitutional Court is to determine whether new laws or actions of President correspond to the Constitution. The Constitution is the main law of Russia. It guarantees the rights and freedoms of Russian citizens.

Russian political system also has "the system of checks and balances" like that in the USA. For example, the President appoints the heads of the Federal Government and the Chairman of the Government, but the State Duma must approve his appointment. The President can veto laws passed by the Federal Assembly, but the Federal Assembly can pass laws over the President's veto by a two-thirds majority. The Constitutional Court has the right to declare actions of the President, the Federal Assembly and the Federal Government unconstitutional.

There are many political parties in our country. The most well-known are the Communist Party, the Liberal Democratic Party, the "Unity" Party, the Union of the Right Forces and the "Apple" Party.

1. What political system does the Russian Federation represent? 2. How many branches are there in the political system of Russia? 3. Which institutions exercise the legislative, executive and judicial power? 4. What is each branch of power responsible for? 5. Can you explain how the branches of power interact? 6.

What are the state symbols of Russia?

The state emblem of Russia, the State anthem Russian, the national flag of Russia.

Describe the Russian Flag.

The Russian flag has three equal horizontal fields with white at the top, blue in the middle and red at the bottom. Some Russians believe that white stands for generosity, blue for loyalty and red for courage. There is no official explanation for the meaning of the colors.

(The flag has three wide stripes on it. The colours of the flag are symbolic. White is faithful and sincere, blue is honest and loyal and red is brave.)

The Russian flag first appeared in 1668. It was the symbol of Russia for more than 300 years. August 22, Russia celebrates national Flag Day. For the first time it was hung over the White House in Moscow in 1991.Officially, in 1994, was adopted a decree on the appointment of this festival. When Russian people celebrate their national holidays you can see the national flag in all streets, squares, official buildings, blocks of flats and houses in big cities, small towns and villages).

What do you know about the Russian the coat-of-arms?

The eagle carries a sceptre, the sign of state power, and an orb, the sign of unity. The emblem also includes St George. It is the oldest Russian symbol of love for Motherland. The double-headed eagle is the emblem of Russia. Above the heads there are three crowns. Three crowns is the symbol of sovereignty [ˈsɔvrəntɪ] of the state, equality of the main governmental branches of power — legislative, judicial and executive.

In the HolyRoman Empire's heraldry, it represented the Church and the State. 

The coat of arms of Russia have gone through three major periods in their history, undergoing major changes in the transitions between the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, and theRussian Federation. They date back to 1472, when Ivan III began using the double-headed eagle in his seal, which, along with the image of St. George slaying a dragon, have been common in the coat of arms since. The coat of armswere changed in 1918 with the creation of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, and depicted communistsymbols such as the hammer and sickle and red star. The current coat of arms, in use since 1993, once again usesthe double-headed eagle with the image of St. George.
