(КВАЗИ)ДУАЛНА СТРУКТУРА ИЗВРШНЕ ВЛАСТИ У РУСКОМ ПОЛУПРЕДСЈЕДНИЧКОМ СИСТЕМУ
(QUASI) DUAL STRUCTURE OF EXECUTIVE AUTHORITY IN THE RUSSIAN SEMI

Summary/Abstract: The fall of communism in the Middle and Eastern Europe meant establishing new constitutional and political systems and the selection of a new government instead of, the existing, parliamentary system. The position of constitutionalists in terms of the need for a strong institution of the president of the republic in the process of transition and the balance of powers between various political subjects resulted in establising semi-presidential system of government in many of those countries. In the Russian Federation, with the first changes of the constitution, at first only certain elements were accepted which was followed by the acceptance of the whole concept of the semi-presidential system. The constitutional model of this country is in compliance with the semi￾presidential system criteria – it has developed a dual structure of the executive power and a popularly fixed term president who is politically independent from the Parliament. However, constitutional and political practice in Russia shows that in the constellation of powers within the dual structure of the executive power, the head of state plays a dominant role. The head of state dominates in the executive power, but also in the political system as a whole, making the system of government in practice being predominated by certain characteristics of the presidential system.
