Six weeks later blowjob twelve years, both in Russia and outside it sounded loud the name of Vladimir Putin.Let's see, which is typical of the era of his reign, and what it's Russian state?
Two Russian
Before we talk about what kind of power vertical built Vladimir Putin as president of Russia, and what kind of political reforms he made, it should be recalled that Boris Yeltsin was a Russian.
At the time, Yeltsin had a lot of democratic reforms and transformations, the apex of which was the new Constitution.Of course, by and large, it was very similar to the US Constitution, with the means, in principle, has been written off.The Russian government appeared completely new positions - Vice-President and Secretary of State, replacing the foreign minister.First Vice-President became A.Rutskoy, as Secretary of State - G.Burbulis.
Next appeared in Russia a bicameral parliament.In the Upper House it - the Federation Council - sat popularly elected governors of the 89 subjects of the Federation.Governors have virtually unlimited powers, parliamentary immunity.Shall be elected for the post of governor on the ground, directly to the people of each Russian region.
Thus, the vertical of power was directed from the top down, from the center to the provinces, and very soon because Russia began to resemble the ancient Russian state time of feudal fragmentation.Remember the "Tale of Bygone Years" and "Lay"?Only instead of feudal princes were gubernatorial posts, which often has a strong personality and odious: Lebed, A.Tuleev, M.Evdokimov, Ruslan Aushev, Mintimer Shaimiev, and others.
Using very popular among the people, and having almost unlimited rights under the law, they are entrusted to the regions considered almost as a personal fiefdom, their own small states and their power was not going to share with anyone.With great reluctance, the Centre submitted to it, and sometimes ignored coming out orders and directives.Of course, afford such could only political heavyweights in the department which are economically developed regions with a rich industrial and natural potential, such as Yakutia."With our stock of gold and diamonds - that we are Russian!".That's repeatedly stated local leaders.
Putin's vertical power
This situation weakened the central vertical of power, and it became a serious threat to the integrity and security of the whole of Russia.It is well understood cadre Soviet spy, KGB officer Vladimir Putin, who became Yeltsin's successor as president of Russia.
Putin set a goal - to keep the Russian state and the indivisible whole, put an end to the fragmentation of the federal "czars on the ground."For this purpose, it is radically reformed the structure and forms of regional subordination.
First of all, the President has made the abolition of gubernatorial elections - they are now appointed the main person in the state, ie,he together with the Legislative Assembly of the Federation.
was reformed and the Upper Chamber: meetings of governors there were canceled.They were replaced by representatives of each individual region.It downgraded the importance of both the Council of the Federation, and the governors.
To strengthen presidential control on the ground, Russia has been divided into seven federal districts.At the head of each became Putin appointed presidential envoy.Thus, the head of state managed to build a rigid vertical of power - executive, under its own control, from an established work which so much depends in the state.Because of this, without the approval of Putin no longer dares no serious question of life or that region of the country.
Thus recalcitrant governors were gradually pushed back from their positions, they were replaced by people loyal to the Kremlin, on which additionally oversaw the presidential envoy in each district.
Well aware that the vertical of power - a number of measures and actions to maximize accountability and the dependence of all the governing bodies of the center, ie,President Putin extends its sphere of influence and to the State Duma.
At the time, she thought she was almost self-governing authority in Russia, and even impeach Boris Yeltsin.
To avoid the sad experience, Putin create a new party - "United Russia" and seeks its absolute majority in the Duma.In addition, under its control are taken all the local legislative assemblies of subjects of the Russian Federation.
Vertical Putin's power was so strong that Vladimir Vladimirovich was not afraid to 4 years to give his office and the presidency Dmitry Medvedev, his longtime colleague to work in the St. Petersburg mayor's office.

There are many ways to evaluate the actions of Vladimir Putin.Many Liberals call this authoritarianism, totalitarianism, etc., in its own right.Yet Putin, in our view, with all of its non-democratic reforms can rightly be considered a collector of Russian lands.He literally has saved Russia from repeating the fate of the USSR.
It should add that on the vertical of power to Putin - a close cooperation of legislative and executive bodies, the implementation of the idea of a single economic and customs space of the former Soviet Union, the collapse of which he considers the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century.
All this raises the prestige of Russia and Putin himself in the world, raising it to the rank of superpower superlidera.
