Он отвечает за координацию работы федерального правительства.  Федеральное Собрание является законодательной ветвью власти и состоит из двух палат: Государственной Думы и Совета Федерации.  Государственная Дума – это нижняя палата, а Совет Федерации – верхняя палата. Депутаты Государственной Думы избираются всенародным голосованием на пять лет, а члены Совета Федерации назначаются руководителями регионов и республик страны. Судебная власть не зависит от исполнительной и законодательной власти и отвечает за толкование и соблюдение законов страны. Translation: Russia is a presidential republic.  The President of Russia is the head of state and government.  The President is elected by popular vote for a six-year term and can serve a maximum of two consecutive terms.  The President is also responsible for appointing the Prime Minister and other key government officials.  The Prime Minister is the head of government and is responsible for coordinating the work of the federal government.  The Federal Assembly is the legislative branch of the government and consists of two chambers: the State Duma and the Federation Council.  The State Duma is the lower house, and the Federation Council is the upper house.  Members of the State Duma are elected by popular vote for a five-year term. In contrast, members of the Federation Council are appointed by the leaders of the country's regions and republics.  The judiciary is independent of the executive and legislative branches and is responsible for interpreting and enforcing the country's laws. *** Slow Russian Podcast Transcript and audio download for $20 – https://russian.fromzerotofluency.com/courses/slowrussian  Join my free email course with A LOT of useful materials for self-learning – http://realrussianclub.com/subscribe  My premium step-by-step course for Russian language learners – https://russian.fromzerotofluency.com/ Get all three levels together and save $102 – https://russian.fromzerotofluency.com/bundles/all-of-from-zero-to-fluency  UNDERSTANDING RUSSIA (cultural course, no knowledge of Russian language required)–  https://russian.fromzerotofluency.com/courses/understanding-russia
