PSEUDO–DEMOCRACY IN RUSSIA

RUSSIA

Russia is the northernmost country of Asia and on the eastern side of Europe. It is the largest country in the world which covers over 17 million square kilometres. The population of Russia is 146.2 million. Moscow is the capital of Russia.

Russia has an asymmetric federation and semi-presidential republic, which means that the President is the head of state whereas the Prime Minister is the head of government. According to the constitution of Russia, it comprises 85 federal subjects.

• 46 provinces have the most common type of federal subjects, with locally elected governor and legislature.
• 22 republics are allowed to establish their own official language and are represented by the federal government in international affairs. Republics are meant to be home to specific ethnic minorities.
• 9 territories are essentially the same as provinces, given to frontier regions and later also to the administrative divisions.
• 4 autonomous districts, originally autonomous entities created for ethnic minorities, their status was elevated to that of federal subjects in the 1990s.
• 1 Jewish Autonomous province historically. In 1990, the Jewish Autonomous Province was elevated in status to that of a republic.
• 3 federal cities (Moscow, Saint Petersburg, and Sevastopol) are the major cities that function as separate regions.

THE PSEUDO-DEMOCRACY

Although elections take place, citizens are cut off from knowledge about the activities of those who exercise real power because of the lack of civil liberties. The rulers may ignore or bypass constitutional limits on their power. They also tend to ignore the will of the minority which is what makes the democracy illiberal. Elections are often manipulated or rigged, being used to legitimize and consolidate the incumbent rather than to choose the country's leaders and policies.

Human rights activists of Russia, worry about the coming constituent congress and artificial creation of a two-party system in the Russian Federation. They believe that in reality, the creation of the new big political party represents the pre-election President’s project. The authorities presumably want only two big parties presented in the Duma – pro-Putin’s United the Russian Federation and the new allegedly opposition party of Sergey Mironov. With the Kremlin´s backing, the new party can theoretically gain the kind of financing and media exposure that is enjoyed by the United Russian Federation. This in turn can make it into a dominant force and almost completely sideline parties that oppose President Putin.

In all this planning-plotting between the people related to the government, the citizens of Russia do not have legal rights to question their actions and they are manipulated and treated as puppets because they do not have the proper power of citizenship in order to choose the leader of their choice and that is why the democracy in Russia is known as Pseudo-Democracy.
