The political position of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation is influenced by a wide range of powers of the head of state. The purpose of the article was to analyse the political position of the Federal Assembly in Russia. The main research problem concerns the question: to what extent the strong political position of the head of state in Russian Federation deprives the parliament of political significance? The main hypothesis is that a wide range of powers of the president in Russia contributes to the large reduction of political position of the parliament depriving it of political significance in the system of the highest state authorities. A theoretical approach to the category of depriving parliament of the political significance and analysis of the interactions between the head of state and the parliament allow us to resolve a research problem. It is worth mentioning that the issue of the political system of the Russian Federation and the constitutional principles of state functioning has been repeatedly raised by Polish and foreign researchers. Within the framework of a short article, it is impossible to name all the researchers and refer to the presented findings. However, to mention only a few, among others, these were Aslund (2007), Bartnicki (2007), Bäcker (2007), Czajowski (2001), Holzer & Balik (2009), Szewcowa (1999), Stelmach (2003), Skrzypek (2014), Słowikowski (2018), Zieliński (1995, 2005), and Zaleśny ( 2010, 2012). Taking into account the research problem posed and the fact that the subject of the research was the systemic position of the Russian parliament and to determine whether and to what extent measures have been taken in Russia to deprive it of its political significance by operationalizing a new category, this translated into the process of narrowing the scope and making a selection of sources. Therefore, the authors, using the method of content analysis, focused mainly on primary sources.

The Constitution of the Russian Federation of 5 December 1993, establishing a bicameral parliament (the Federal Assembly), does not provide specifi c rules for determining the composition of the upper chamber — the Council of the Federation. The authors of the Constitution restrict themselves to declaration that this authority shall consist of includes two representatives from each subject of the Russian Federation (one from the legislative and one from the executive body of state authority), while the adoption of the procedure for its selection has been left for federal laws. The solutions established so far in this respect have proved to be unstable. The Federal Law of December 5, 2012, adopted the current procedure for creating the composition of the Council of Federation, the fourth since its inception. All the solutions so far existing which are presented chronologically in the article refl ected different concepts of representation of the Federation’s subjects and were usually dictated by current policy goals. They were of a unique character in comparison to the methods used for creating compositions of second chambers in other federal countries. Moreover, they were subject of permanent and lively disputes between the Russian constitutional law and political science theorists, also described in the article.
