| Title | Is Russia a Constitutional Democracy? Checks and Balances in the Russian Constitutional System |
| Summary | In my thesis I explore the problem of constitutional democracy in Russia from the perspective of the system of checks and balances. I ask whether all branches of power in the Russian constitutional system are sufficiently independent and able to control each other. For the investigation of the problem, I focus on the analysis of the “law in books” and the “law in action”. The conclusion I come to is that the Russian Constitution has not provided the basis for the establishment of a democratic state and has created favourable conditions for the domination of presidential power over others. |
