Аннотация

THE NEW LAW ON ELECTIONS TO THE STATE DUMA of May 2005 was hardly unexpected. Its major features had already been identified in President Putin’s wide- ranging speech to an expanded meeting of the Russian government in September 2004, in which he set out a series of changes that must follow the challenge to state authority that had been presented by the Beslan hostage-taking tragedy at the start of that month. In circumstances of this kind, he told his audience, their system of government had to be ‘not merely adapted to work in crisis situations’ but ‘fundamentally restructured’, so that it could prevent the breakup of the state and the collapse of Russia itself. A ‘crucial element’ in this restructuring was a reconstitution of the governmental system at all levels so that it formed a ‘single system of authority’. The leading officials in every region should be nominated by the head of state and then approved by local parliaments, and there should be stronger national parties. This was one of the ways of ensuring ‘real dialogue and interaction between the authorities in the struggle against terror’. This would in turn require an entirely proportional system of elections to the national parliament.
