I'd like to tell about the political structure of Russia.
The Russian Federation was set up by the Constitution of 1993.
Politically, it is a presidential (or constitutional) republic.
The head of state is the President.
His functions are to control all three branches of power, to be commander-in-chief of the armed forces, make treaties, enforce laws, appoint the prime minister, cabinet members and key judges.
There are three branches of power: legislative, executive, and judicial.
The Federal Assembly consists of the Federation Council (upper house) and the State Duma (lower house).
The State Duma is elected by popular vote.
The Federation Council is formed of the heads of the regions.
The legislative power is vested in the Federal Assembly.
The executive power belongs to the Government.
The judicial power is represented by the Constitutional Court, the Supreme Court, and regional courts.
