Кто правит современной Россией 2009

In whose hands is the real power in modern Russia? You can put forward any version, but in the end come to one conclusion: the main thing in Russia - Putin's Russia - is the central executive power. No matter what is declared, the other branches of power - legislative and judicial - play only secondary, auxiliary roles on the Russian political scene. In fact, Russia is ruled by a little over 700 people, whose biographies are given in this book. It is they who make up the elite of the Russian government, they have the right to decide the fate of the state, each within their own competence. The book is addressed to the general reader interested in the history of modern Russia.
