	Russian Politics and Government - Research and Read Books, Journals, Articles at Questia Online Library
		The country is bounded by Norway and Finland in the northwest; by Estonia, Latvia, Belarus, and Ukraine in the west; by Georgia and Azerbaijan in the southwest; and by Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and China along the southern land border.
		The Russian Federation possesses a well-developed road and rail network in its European third, a more limited network in Siberia, and a negligible number of roads and rail lines in the Russian Far East.
		Physioeconomically, the Russian Federation may be conveniently divided into 9 major regions: the Central European Region, the North and Northwest European Region, the Volga Region, the North Caucasus, the Ural Region, Western Siberia, Eastern Siberia, Northern and Northwestern Siberia, and the Russian Far East.

	Politics of Russia
		Because of the Russians' dominance in the affairs of the union, the RSFSR failed to develop some of the institutions of governance and administration that were typical of public life in the other republics: a republic-level communist party, a Russian academy of sciences, and Russian branches of trade unions, for example.
		Yeltsin used his role as president to trumpet Russian sovereignty and patriotism, and his legitimacy as president was a major cause of the collapse of the coup by hard-line government and party officials against Gorbachev in August 1991 Soviet Coup of 1991.
		Russian is proclaimed the state language, although the republics of the federation are allowed to establish their own state languages for use alongside Russian.

	Italian Vector of the Russian Politics
		Russian - Italian relations were always very intensive.
		But for the Russians the situation with Italy is different - first of all, the relations between Moscow and Rome is not of "seller-buyer" type, as they are with Berlin and Paris.
		If Russians succeed in improving Berlusconi`s internal political record by economical and defensive cooperation, their status in the relations with Italy is going to be upgraded from "protege" to "partner".

	New Balkan Politics - Issue 3
		A comparison of Russian policies towards the two Balkan states Yugoslavia and Bulgaria, shows, to what extent a policy that was directed specifically to the region found itself in a cul-de-sac in the past decade due to the persistence of Great Power thinking and the economic crisis of the country.
		By this action, which was cheered as a heroic deed in the Russian press, the soldiers had redeemed the humiliation, that the Nato air strikes had inflicted on the political-psychological feelings of the Russian population.
		Hence, beyond Russian symbolic policy in former Yugoslavia, the specific role of Southeastern Europe was in the first place based on its economic and transport-geographic significance for exports to and transit through the countries of Southeastern Europe towards the tempting markets of the West.

	CNN--InDepth: Russia Election - Russia, vodka and politics
		To comprehend the risks of coming between a Russian and his vodka, you have to understand that what in Russian means "little water" or "dear water" is not just the national drink.
		According to preeminent Russian scholar Bruce Lincoln, who has lived in Russia, written at least 12 books on the subject and is distinguished research professor emeritus at Northern Illinois University, the Russian word "zaploi" means roughly, "I was so drunk last night I couldn't remember a thing." And that is admirable in some circles.
		The last Russian leader to interfere with his countrymen's drinking habits was former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, whose well-intentioned attempt in the 1980s to reduce alcoholism was a political disaster.

	Russian Language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The political upheaval that plagues Russia as the millennium draws to a close is reason enough for new, updated teaching materials.
		But it is not only Russia’s political fabric that has undergone change; the events of the 1990s have transformed virtually every aspect of the language of public discourse.
		Once “stable” and easy to master, the language of television news has seen a massive influx of vocabulary, a disappearance of easy-to-understand boilerplate, sloppier diction on the part of anchors, and even a speed-up of delivery rate (doubled from an average of four syllables per second in the 1980s).

		The political clout of Putin is typical not of a thriving society in which the authorities are secure in their power but of an unsteady ship which needs a strong hand to keep order.
		Russian forces bully the Chechen people rather than fight terrorists like Basaev, while the FSB (the re-vamped KGB) uses the violence to place its men in key positions, including in Ingushetia.
		It shows that fewer and fewer Russians have illusions in the state apparatus because it is so obviously being used in the interests of the bureaucracy itself.

	Politics of Russia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In theory, the President of Russia is head of state, and of a pluriform multi-party system with executive power exercised by the government, headed by the Prime Minister, who is appointed by the President by the parliament's approbation.
		Legislative power is vested in the two chambers of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, while the President and the government issue numerous legally binding by-laws.
		However, pundits in Russia believed this not to be due to the president's displeasure with the government, but with Mikhail Kasyanov himself, as the Russian constitution does not allow the prime minister to be removed without firing the whole cabinet.

		Indeed, Russia is currently in the midst of another enormous experiment in political, economic and cultural transformation, processes from which we can learn much about democracy, capitalism and markets, and the relationship between culture and politics.
		In the first few weeks of the course we trace the development of Russian politics from Tsarist times through the Soviet period, Mikhail Gorbachev and perestroika, and the new Russian state under Boris Yeltsin and his successor Vladimir Putin, looking at the internal conflicts and external forces that shaped the Soviet and Russian experiences.
		We also consider the question of culture and nationalism, in particular the "Russian idea" of a uniquely Russian path of development superior to the Western experience, and issues of Russia's relationship with the outside world.

		Political consultant Gleb Pavlovskii told RFE/RL on 1 March: "[Kasyanov] should tell by name who it was who endorsed his views.
		ORT political commentator Mikhail Leontev, who is notorious for his ant-American pronouncements on the main state television network, wrote a 2 March commentary in "Nezavisimaya gazeta" that summed up the new anti-Americanism.
		He added that, as it did in Ukraine, U.S. politicians intend to finance "subversive organizations" because "they dislike the political system existing in Russia." "It is no secret that so-called nongovernmental organizations are now openly financed not only by foundations and suspicious private individuals with very peculiar political views," Leontev wrote.

		The transitional period from communist doctrines and totalitarism to diametrically different political and legal, social and economic realities is very complicating and contradicting.
		The main direction of legal reform in Russian Federation may be defined as follows: in philosophy and sociology - doctrines of natural and inalienable human rights; in economics and politics - restriction of expansion of state by law; in law and state - separation of powers, constitutionalism, superiority of law.
		It is obvious that the process of establishing new legislation in Russia is complicated by the fact that the world practice does not know precedents of such a large scale replacement of one legal system by the diametrically different one.
