Russia is considered federal state. The country has a special administrative apparatus. Its functioning is carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution.

Differences are also found in the forms of organization of the rule-making process, as well as the procedures for considering certain issues. 
Modern realities
In some regions, from time to time there are confrontational relations between the executive and the rule-making branches. At the same time, the legislative branch, in various ways hindering the activities of an administrative institution, in a certain way comes to the fore and thus emphasizes its independence. In stable conditions for the development of social relations, this circumstance does not seem so noticeable. This is mainly due to the fact that the main issues related to public life are regulated by federal law. In addressing the pressing issues facing the region, the executive system is engaged. At the same time, the above arguments do not weaken the fundamental significance that the legislative bodies of the Russian Federation have in conditions of democratization.
