Book Synopsis Russia 2018 Human Rights Report by : U S Department of State
Book excerpt: The Russian Federation has a highly centralized, authoritarian political system dominated by President Vladimir Putin. The bicameral Federal Assembly consists of a directly elected lower house (State Duma) and an appointed upper house (Federation Council), both of which lack independence from the executive. The March 18 presidential election and the 2016 State Duma elections were marked by accusations of government interference and manipulation of the electoral process, including the exclusion of meaningful opposition candidates.This is the 2018 report on Human Rights by the U.S. Department of State published on March 13, 2019
