The State Power System in the
Russian Federation
• Russia is a democratic federative
state based on rule of law and a
republican form of government. State
power in Russia is exercised by the
President, the Federal Assembly, the
Government and the courts.
• The President is at the summit of the
system of state power. He ensures that all
the state institutions are able to carry out
their responsibilities and keeps watching
over them to ensure that no institution can
encroach on another's prerogatives,
attempt to usurp power in the country or
take over another's powers.

The Geographical Position of
Russia
• The Russian Federation stretches from
Eastern Europe in the west across the
entire width of Asia to the Pacific Ocean in
the east, and from the Arctic Ocean in the
north to Central Asia in the south.
• Russia has a very varied climate and
landscape that ranges from
mountains in the south and east to
vast lowlands, and rivers in the north
and west.
Land Regions
• Many scientists divide Russia into four
zones according to soil conditions and
plant life, which are based mainly on
climate. From north to south, the zones
are the tundra, the forest zone, the
steppes, and the semi-desert and
mountainous zone.
• The tundra lies in the northern part of
Russia. It is largely a treeless plain. The
tundra has short, summers and long,
severe winters.
• The forest belt lies south of the tundra.
The northern part of this belt is called the
taiga.
• Grassy plains called steppes stretch
across Russia south of the forests.
• The semi-desert and mountainous zone,
the southern zone in Russia, has diverse
soils and climate.
