Vladimir Putin
Vladimir Putin, the current President of Russia, is one of the most famous and influential people in the country. He has been in power for over two decades and is widely known both domestically and internationally.
Vladimir Putin, for all practical purposes "runs" the Russian Federation. Opposition to him is not seen. Putin has a heavy hand in controlling government.
Well you can draw similarities with the articles of confederation with what it lacked and how putin managed the Russian country. The articles give limited power to the state which is a problem if its weak, which in russia is how it was then putin came to power and made the government stronger and more powerful.
Prior to people like Lenin and Stalin as well as Putin coming to power Russia was ruled by a system of Czars. In total the country had 19 Czars.
who is president putin
He worked many positions within the government his most famous was head of the KGB, and head of the FSB. he was appointed as a member of the presidential cabinet then the Yeltson appointed him as Prime minister and choose him as his successor, and then when Yeltson resigned Putin took power as president until elections where held and then when the elections were started Putin won with 80% of the vote and continued his political career to where it is now
Putin stepped down as president of Russia on December 31, 2000, when he handed over power to his chosen successor, Vladimir Putin. He had served two terms and was constitutionally required to step aside after his second term. His decision was part of a planned transition to maintain stability in Russia while allowing Putin to consolidate power in the subsequent years.
Officially, Russia has a multi-party Presidential system with powers divided between Parliament (the Duma), the Prime Minister and the President. Also Russia constitutionally has an independent Judiciary branch.In practice, things work somewhat differently. The Duma mostly is a rubber-stamp Parliament dominated by the Party that the President has set up for the purpose, and opposition parties -such as there are - are a small minority in Parliament, have a very hard time getting any exposure on television or otherwise and their candidates are often harrassed by the authorities. The judiciary theoretically is independent, but historically has for centuries - up to and including today - been no more than an instrument of the ruler: Tsar, Communist leader or President.The real power today lies with the President, mr. Putin. Again in theory, he shares power with the Prime Minister. But in practice, mr. Putin has a cozy arrangement with his trusted ally mr. Metvedev who has been his Prime Minister for as long as mr. Putin has been President. In practice, mr. Metvedevs power can best be compared to that of the US vice-President: totally dependent on what the President allows him to do.
