Federation Council: a quarter of a century of problems in the formation of the Chamber
Abstract
Federation Council is the chamber of the Federal Assembly of Russia (parliament of the Russian Federation). The author analyzes the procedures for the formation of the chamber — in the past and at present. Attention is drawn to the fact that in this process the sending of federal and regional functionaries to the Council of the Federation is prevailing. The author suggests proceeding to the election of members of the Federation Council by the population of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
