Here is a possible response: I'd like to tell about the political structure of Russia. The Russian Federation was set up as a sovereign state in 1991. Politically it is a federal semi-presidential constitutional republic. The head of state is the President of Russia. His functions are to act as the guarantor of the Constitution, oversee foreign policy, and serve as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. There are three branches of power: legislative, executive, and judicial. The Federal Assembly consists of two chambers: the State Duma and the Federation Council. The State Duma is elected by the citizens through proportional representation. The Federation Council is formed of representatives from each federal subject. The legislative power is vested in the Federal Assembly. The executive power is carried out by the Government of Russia, headed by the Prime Minister. The judicial power is independent and includes the Constitutional Court, the Supreme Court, and other federal courts.
