The two companies also announced a number of joint ventures, including a plan to seek the restoration of Lukoil's license to develop the West Qurna field in Iraq. ConocoPhillips will have a 17.5 percent stake in the field if Lukoil's rights, revoked by former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein, are restored by a new Iraqi government after planned elections in January. The U.S. company bought a 7.59 percent stake in crude producer Lukoil for $1.99 billion.

IFPI, the organisation representing the recording industry worldwide, said the music industry in Russia and internationally wants to cooperate closely with the government so that the new initiative makes a real impact on Russia's rampant music piracy trade. "Russia's rampant piracy is a huge cultural and economic drain on the country. It causes enormous damage to culture, economy and foreign investment. And it denies Russia the place its record companies, artists and musicians deserve in the international music industry." Background for Editors It was announced on Thursday 3 October that the Russian Cabinet of Ministers approved the setting up of a new intellectual property task force that will be headed by Prime Minister Kasyanov and made up of Economic Development and Trade, Justice, Press, Culture and Interior ministries, as well as representatives of Rospatent and public intellectual property organisations.

RUSSIA JURIST WORLD LAW >> Russia Human Rights Legal Profession Law Schools Study Law in Russia ... Government of the Russian Federation (in Russian) Federation Council State Duma (in Russian) Russian Government Internet Network (in Russian) Ministry of Justice, Scientific Center for Legal Information (in Russian) Russian Legislation in English [guest access] In the political system established by the 1993 constitution, the president wields considerable executive power. There is no vice president, and the legislative is far weaker than the executive. The president nominates the highest state officials, including the prime minister, who must be approved by the Duma. The president can pass decrees without consent from the Duma. He also is head of the armed forces and of the national security council. Duma elections were on December 19, 1999 and presidential elections March 26, 2000. While the Communist Party won a narrow plurality of seats in the Duma, the pro-government party Unity and the centrist Fatherland-All Russia also won substantial numbers of seats in the legislature. In the presidential election, Vladimir Putin, named Acting President following the December 31 resignation of Boris Yeltsin, was elected in the first round with 53% of the vote. Both the presidential and parliamentary elections were judged generally free and fair by international observers. Russia is a federation, but the precise distribution of powers between the central government and the regional and local authorities is still evolving. The Russian Federation consists of 89 components, including two federal cities, Moscow and St. Petersburg. The constitution explicitly defines the federal government's exclusive powers, but it also describes most key regional issues as the joint responsibility of the federal government and the Federation components.

Source: Lenin Collected Works , Progress Publishers, , Moscow, , pages Translated: The Late George Hanna R. Cymbala Public Domain: Lenin Internet Archive (2004). Other Formats: Text README There is a little magazine called Grazhdanin The magazine is interesting primarily because in it the talkative Prince is continually divulging the secrets of the higher administration of Russia. For Russia is actually administered by those landowner dignitaries in whose society Prince Meshchersky moved and is still moving. And they actually do administer Russia in exactly the way, in exactly the spirit, by exactly the means advised, assumed and suggested by Prince Meshchersky. In the second place, the magazine is interesting because its courtly editor, confident that it will never reach the people , often exposes the Russian administration in the most ruthless manner. Here are two interesting admissions made by this princely dignitary: A That is what Prince Meshchersky writes. By way of exception he writes the truth. Features of Asiatic primitiveness, governmental graft, the schemes of financiers who share their monopoly incomes with highly-placed officials, are still boundlessly strong in Russian capitalism. When our Narodniks fight, and fight with good reason, against such disgusting and shameless swindles, they often regard it as a war against capitalism. Their mistake is obvious. They are actually fighting

The government decided to work out a plan of the increase within three months, said Russian Deputy Economic Development and Trade Minister Yuri Isayev after the government session devoted to leasing of Russian airplanes. Foreign airplanes that have been used for some time "pose a serious competition" for Russian aircraft industry, that is now oriented towards producing new models, Isayev emphasised. At the same time the government is considering a parallel reduction of duties on deliveries of foreign engines and equipment. The Russian aircraft industry is export-oriented, so it is being equipped with western avionics and engines," according to the deputy minister.

In its report, Human Rights Watch (a New York based non-governmental organisation) claims that the Russian government’s policy is actually fuelling the epidemic rather than helping to keep a lid on it. Human Rights Watch says that the government’s behaviour is extremely irresponsible, considering the scale of the problem.

SRC Winter Symposium Socio-Cultural Dimensions of the Changes in the Slavic-Eurasian World ( English Japanese The Russian Government and the Finnish Question, 1905-1917 Antti Kujala (Helsinki University) English Japanese Finland's separate institutions became anachronistic as Russia's administrative and political system was modernized in 1905-6. This modernization went hand in hand with the rise of Russian nationalism. As Russia could not channel nationalism into an assertive foreign policy after her defeat in the Far East, it had to be diverted to strengthening the central government at the expense of self-government in the Empire's borderlands. Prime Minister P. A. Stolypin sincerely believed in the Russian nationalist objectives of his policy, but he also deliberately employed Russian nationalism and centralist borderland policies to bolster his government and its cooperation with the majority parties in the Duma and State Council, that is in the legislative bodies of Russia, on which he was very much dependent. As a result, the Finnish question shifted from being one of borderlands politics to becoming part of wider domestic politics within Russia. In fact, Stolypin did not only have to take the majority parties in the Duma into account but also the Tsar, on whose goodwill his continuance in office ultimately depended. Nicholas II had felt bitter towards the Finns since 1899 when they had accused him of breaking his word and had started an international campaign against the government, passive resistance, and openly rebellious action. The Tsar revealed his anti-Finnish feelings to the German envoy at the beginning of 1907: The Finns are at an even lower level than the Russians, "especially with regard to morality, and nothing good is to be expected from them."

Human Rights Developments Defending Human Rights The Role of the International Community Human Rights Developments The collapse of the ruble and the Russian banking system triggered a sharp political crisis in what President Boris Yeltsin had named the Year of Human Rights in Russia. In August, the Russian government defaulted on its short-term foreign debt and devalued the ruble, and the already crisis-stricken economy went into free-fall. President Yeltsin dismissed Prime Minister Kiriyenko, and, after a month of political haggling that nearly plunged the country into chaos, the parliament approved former Foreign Minister Evgenii Primakov as Prime Minister. th Human Rights Watch research in 1998 on police torture found that corruption and abuse were the rule rather than exception. Criminal justice officials were known to solicit and accept bribes to drop charges and investigations. Crime-solving statistics were improbably high, due in part to torture. The Russian media in 1998 published an unprecedented number of articles about torture, yet this new public awareness did not move the Russian government to acknowledge the problem in a meaningful way or to take appropriate measures to deal with it. An extreme shortage of judges slowed criminal trials and overwhelmed sitting judges. Acquittal rates were below one percent, reminiscent of the Soviet era. For example, the Moscow City Court tried to strip power from a leading Russian judge, Sergei Pashin who headed the presidential department for judicial reform before it was disbanded in December 1995. Pashin frequently acquitted defendants if evidence provided by the prosecution was insufficient and he actively filed judicial inquiries to police stations about torture allegations.

This was particularly true in the public sector. With recent increases in both economic and political stability, the Russian government is seeking to catch up, and has developed a strategy to encourage the growth of Electronic Russia (E-Russia) program. They expect that savings through increased operational efficiency will more than offset the costs of the program. E-Russia has a 9-year planning horizon and addresses 4 key areas: Regulatory environment and institutional framework Internet infrastructure E-Government E-Education All of the enabling legislation and institutional framework is expected to be in place by the end of 2002.
