B.G. The Russian Federation is a presidential republic. The President is the head of state and is elected directly by the people. In fact he has much power. The President is the head of state and is elected directly by the people. In fact he has much power. The President can even dissolve the Duma if it doesn’t agree with his suggestions three times running. The President has his Administration but it is not part of the Federal Government. The President is involved in the work of the legislative and executive branches.
The Federal Assembly represents the legislative branch of power. It is made up of the two houses: the Federation Council and the Duma which make laws.
The President can veto laws passed by the Federal Assembly but the Federal Assembly can pass laws over the President’s veto by a two – thirds majority.
The Federal Government represents the executive branch of power. The President appoints its head, the Chairman of the Government but the Duma must approve his appointment. The Supreme Court represents the judicial branch of power. The Constitutional Court has the right to declare actions of the President, the Federal Assembly and the Federal Government un constitutional.
T. Thank you Mr. Grislov.

P1. I have a question. Who elects the members of the Federal Assembly?

T. Thank you, Mr. Grislov. Please, take your seat and make yourself comfortable.

“When work is pleasure, life is a joy.
When work is a duty, life is slavery”.
M. Gorky.
Actions speak louder than words.
P1. We represent our project.
A manager of election campaign.
Management deals with people. A manager is a person who directly supervises people in an organization. Managers spend much time communicating, coordinating and making decisions affecting the daily operation of their organization. Almost everything a manager does involves decisions and in decision – making there is always uncertainty and risk. The profession of a manager need the following qualities as: enterprise, the ability to foresee and to make decisions, analyze and risk. It needs the ability to keep promises. The person should also be communicative and know how to handle people and direct them effectively. He should know at least one foreign language.
As I’m a manager of election campaign, I’m responsible for the results of election.
A lawyer.
I'm a lawyer. I work in a court. “Real success in finding your lifework in the work you love”- said David McCullough. I think it is true. I follow in the footsteps of my father, he is a lawyer too. My job is well-paid. I think it's interesting, because I work with people. People of my profession are necessary during election campaign. They act candidates as counsel for the defense in a court. A lawyer is present at different meetings and represents his candidate's interests.
In my opinion my job is important and useful.
We represent the party named: The United Russia.

A portrait of an ideal politician
Any politician who wants to win should be a real personality. She or he should have a will to win and a wish to have power. She or he should use power not for her own needs but for improving the situation in the country and for achieving definite aims. A good politician should have an ability to risk and to love risking if she or he wants to win.
Political decisions may be ruthless for some people and good for the majority of the people. So, a good politician should be ready to take ruthless decisions. No image-maker can help a person who is nothing. It is impossible to improve "nothing". Image-makers and advisors can add only 15-20% to the image of a politician. The power should be used by a politician not for power itself but for achieving definite aims.

I’m a specialist in advertising.
Advertising penetrates all spheres of our life. It is so powerful that you can’t avoid it. Much of the advertising is propaganda, its major purpose is to influence you to buy something. We use different kinds of techniques in advertising. One technique is called the “Bandwagon”. When using this technique, the advertiser tries to influence you to buy something because a great number of other people are buying it. Advertising is spreading of ideas and information for the purpose of influencing people to be favour or against something or someone. We use different techniques in election campaign.
