Since Russia's independence in August 1991, the relationship between its President and the Parliament has been full of strains and conflicts. Before 1993, these conflicts were focused on the issues of creating a new Russian Constitution and choosing a economic reform policy. On Oct. 1993, President Boris Yeltsin used force to smash the parliament and won the game.The opposition (nationalists and communists) won the parliamentary elections of 1993 and 1995, which enabled them to challenge the president's power. On the other hand, although Yeltsin won the presidential election in 1996, his health and popularity have deteriorated, and he no longer has the upper hand over the parliament. The continuing conflict between the president and the parliament has damaged Russia's administrative and legislative efficiency, which are urgently needed during its reform process. |
