PART II
UNIT I
State System of the Russian Federation
I. Read and translate the following text.
I. The Russian Federative Republic was established by the Constitution
of 1993. Under the Constitution Russia is a Presidential Republic.
The Russian Federation consists of 89 constituent entities (republics, krais,
oblasts, cities of federal significance, autonomous okrugs, which have equal
rights).
The authorities of the constituent entities have the right to pass laws

of the appropriate federate division, but they cannot contradict, the federal laws.

laws of the Russian Federation. If the President is unable to finish his term the
Chairman of the Government takes his office.
