Hello dear friend!

I’m sorry I haven’t written so long. You want know about political system of Russia. Russia is a democratic federative republic. The President of Russia is the head of state. State power in Russia is exercised by the President, the Federal Assembly, the Government and the Courts. Russian constitution was adopted on the twelfth of December 1993 year. Word «Duma» is origin of the word «think». The Government sits in the white house, but the President sits in the Kremlin.  You want know about relation between the Federal Assembly and the Federal Council.  The Federal Assembly represents the legislative branch of power. It is made up of two houses: the Federal Council and the Duma.  I’m sorry I have to go now.

Best wishes, Olga.
