The political regime of modern Russia is similar todelegative democracy in its ideal form. Its social orientation is quite clear. In fact, the political regime of Russia is not a controlled democracy, but an authoritarian one with liberal "manners." And judging by the polls, the citizens of the country are quite happy with this version. Three out of ten people agree that V. V. Putin will remain in the main post for life. The rating of its support does not fall below 80%. Seeing this attitude towards himself, V. Putin made it clear that even after resigning from the presidency, he would take part in government. And so it happened. With a weaker president, he became prime minister in order to return to his previous post in due course. Supporters of authoritarianism believe that the reign of V. Putin confirms that this regime has a future. The market authoritarianism created by him follows the path of China, by the example of which one can see how managed modernization leads to a constant annual economic growth of 10% or more.
The political regime in Russia did not lead tosignificant changes in the institutions of the political system, but resources have become concentrated and centralized power. Already she, and not the oligarchs, took control of the largest TV channels. And this means that all political decisions are now clearly and clearly formulated and communicated to the citizens of the country. The Kremlin’s influence has spread to the Internet and print media.
Политический режим в России также привел к limiting the autonomy of power in the regions. Now, former KGB officers and generals are at the head of seven major districts created by V. V. Putin. The transformations that the current political regime in Russia has led to have also affected the Federation Council, the upper chamber of the Federal Assembly. From now on, its composition is formed with the participation of the president. He canceled the election of governors by voting and himself makes those candidates for the post of head of the executive power, which were approved by the legislative assemblies of the regions. That is, since 2005, the governors were not elected, but appointed. This has made the management system more efficient, and the activities of managers in the regions transparent and accountable.
Also, the political regime in Russia continuescontribute to the gradual weakening of the independence of parliament. For comparison: if during the parliamentary elections at the end of 2003, he controlled the governors in the regions and such resources as television channels for the United Russia party to get the majority of votes, now its allies occupy more than half of the seats in it. True, with the withdrawal from politics of the SPS and Yabloko parties, political competition also disappeared, and the manifestation of democracy became weaker.
However, it is recognized that the currentpolitical regime fully meets the requirements of the time. The state strengthened its capabilities and positions and thus was able to satisfy the basic needs of citizens. For example, his actions in the field of education, in the arrangement of roads, in paying arrears to pensioners and state employees are palpable. Naturally, it should not stop, and continue to successfully operate in the field of health, public security, fight corruption, and guarantee consumers protection of their rights. If to compare with the recession in the 90s, then the growth of the economy during V. Putin’s stay in power increased by almost 7%. Also, there is a tendency of the budget to exceed revenues.
Of course, a huge role in the growth of the economy in Russia has had an increase in the prices of gas and oil. But these resources are not infinite, so the further development of the country depends on the innovative economy.
