STATE SYSTEM OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

The Russian Federation is set up by the Constitution of 1993. Under the constitution Russia is a presidential Republic. The federal 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 two chambers. The Upper Chamber is The Council of Federation. The Lower Chamber is the State Duma. Each chamber is headed by the Speaker. Legislature may be initiated in either of the two Chambers. But to become a law a bill must be approved by both Chambers and signed by the President The President may veto the Bill. The President is commander - in chief of the armed forcers, he makes treaties, enforces laws, and appoints ministers to be approved by the Federal Assembly. The executive power belongs to the Government, which is headed by the Prime minister. The first action of the Prime Minister on appointment is to form the Cabinet. The judicial branch is represented by the Constitutional Court, the Supreme Court and regional courts. The members of the Federal Assembly are elected by popular vote for a four –year period. Today the state symbol of Russia is a three-colored banner. It has three horizontal stripes; white, blue and red. The white stripe symbolizes the earth, the blue one stands for the sky and the red one symbolizes liberty. It was the first state symbol that replaced the former symbols in 1991. The hymn of Russia is written by Alexandrov, Mickalkov. A new national emblem is a two-headed eagle. It is the most ancient symbol of Russia.
