Summary:

As a nuclear power, UN Security Council member, emerging Arctic hegemon and the largest state in the world, Russia - and its stability - is of extreme importance in global politics. In the most comprehensive long-term study to date, Derek Hutcheson argues that Russian legislature forms an integral part of the country's political system and machinery of governance. Having previously formed a counterweight to presidential power under Boris Yeltsin, legislative agenda was strong-armed by Putin leaving the country a four-party 'cartel' with the pro-presidential United Russia party at its centre.
