- Abstract
In 1993, Russia faced a constitutional crisis which led to significant changes in its political system. During his tenure as the federal president, Yeltsin utilized the newly established constitution to consolidate power in the presidency, creating a unique political structure. Referred to as a “super-presidential system” in academic circles, this system is technically a dual-head system with the president and two parliamentary leaders, but in reality, the president holds the majority of power. Some experts argue that the “super-presidential system” is essentially a variation of the semi-presidential system, as the president wields considerable influence. In this paper, the French semi-presidential system and the Russian super presidential system are compared, and their reasons are analyzed.
