The political system is a concept whose introduction into everyday life means the recognition of politics as a science completely independent and holistic. Inside it is a constant relationship between various processes and structures. All political systems known today are of one type or another proposed by scientists. For example, EU countries have a conciliation type of organization.
But the political system of modern Russia is very specific. Its essence is defined by the term rather vague - “sovereign democracy”. The signs of this new species are not entirely clear, but they can still be distinguished:
1) a high level of social, economic and political-cultural heterogeneity of actors;
2) the multinationality of the political space;
3) the power structure is monocentric;
4) the authoritarian nature of the political style;
5) the institutional structure is very rigid;
6) procedural consensus, etc.
The existing political system of Russia is focused on one person, on one national leader and is only formally held together by democratic procedures. Even when V. Putin left his post, losing it to Dmitry Medvedev, the general direction of state policy established by him remained the same.
The political system of Russia is based on the postulates introduced by V. Putin. He repeatedly said that Russia, as the leading country in the world, should defend its interests with confidence (and can do it). At the same time, the Russian state should not pay attention to someone’s approval or disapproval, listen to advisers. Both V. Putin and his supporters recognize that the military and economic power of the United States cannot be surpassed, but this does not give Washington the right to manage the entire international system individually. To balance the forces of America, the Russian president is trying to establish relations with India and China.
Also, key priorities of state policy include (with the filing of V. Putin) the promotion of the commercial activities of Russian firms. Energy giants are once again under Kremlin control. The government of the country not only protects the needs of these companies, but also involves them in decision-making. And often the interests of the nation bring their leaders great benefits.
The next area of Kremlin policy is its influence on neighboring countries. In relation to all neighbors who go against Moscow, V. Putin is very tough. But at the same time, he does not attempt to restore the USSR. He also does not believe the statements of the United States and Western European countries that they are not trying to restrain Russia and invade its sphere of interests.
Even more than a threat from America or the West, V. Putin is concerned about the rapid development of China. And the president showed his intention to cooperate in this matter with Europe and the USA.
Of course, the political system of Russia has many shortcomings. These include bureaucratization and corruption. Decisions are also ineffective, since the procedure for their adoption is opaque, kelein. In addition, there is a lack of proper control over the actions of the authorities.
The new political system of Russia began to line up in the 90s of the 20th century, following the example of the political system of the West. Such blind copying was not the best option. Moreover, it led to the complete collapse of the entire structure of government.
At the present stage, the political system determines the development goals of society, significant for everyone, and the ways of finding the resources necessary to achieve the goals. All this was indicated in the so-called "plan of V. Putin." Priority issues are foreign, social and economic policies. National projects in medicine, education, innovation, demography, housing, ecology were transformed into state programs and serve to achieve their goals.
A multi-party political system consisting of four main elements is also fully formed. Its significant drawback was the departure of right-wing associations, that is, liberal ones.
