| 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 center. |
