Representative Democracy in the Context of Russian Federalism: The Stages of Formation

The phenomenon of the development of representative democracy in the context of modern Russian political practice has undergone many legislative, institutional and other changes. In this context, both objectively determined political and historical features and substantive issues of a technical and regulatory nature are important. With the adoption of the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 1993 and up to the present moment, a steady trend is increasingly clearly forming regarding, firstly, strengthening the status and procedural specifics of public authorities, and secondly, updating the search for effective mechanisms and tools to ensure socio-political control. New methods and models are used in the construction of federal relations in Russian society and the state, and in relation to the institutions and procedures of democracy, they are being translated into a network and digital form. In this regard, the author presents the main stages of the formation and formation of representative democracy in the context of Russian federalism, which affect the current political agenda of representative democratic relations in the Russian Federation.
