“Our political system works. It works far from ideal, but it works,” - said today the president of Russia Dmitry Medvedev during a meeting of the State Council devoted to the development of political and party institutions, parliamentary democracy, local government, judicial and law enforcement system in the country . “And the leaders of the Federation, and party leaders have done much to ensure that Russia”s democracy has become operational,” - stressed the head of state.

President recalled that not once talked about the need for comprehensive modernization of the country. “We need to radically change the economic and technological way to overcome the backwardness of that country has an efficient economy and become more competitive, but its citizens have become richer,” - said Medvedev. To achieve these goals, Russia must act “smart” economy based on intellectual achievements, I”m sure the president. But a “smart” economy, in his opinion, can be created only intelligent people. “Our society is complicated, it is heterogeneous, and multidimensional. Constituent groups, lead different lifestyles, have different tastes and attitudes, including political ones. This society does not need to try to command him to cooperate,” - concluded the head of state. However, according to Medvedev, often in practice we are confronted with other approaches, “when social processes become more difficult trying to manage with the help of primitive blunt administration. “This should not be”, - stressed the head of state.

Dmitry Medvedev believes that Russia return to the political system of the former Soviet Union is impossible, not only for economic reasons. “Nobody wants to and will not accept - nor the citizens of Russia, nor the heads of those sitting here,” - he said. “I am also confident that in the foreseeable enough short-term we will have a modern political system, for which none of us would not be ashamed, but we are still going to criticize it is because there is no absolutely once and for all established schemes, - said the president.

In today”s first State Council meeting was attended not only by representatives of the governors, but also leaders of political parties: United Russia, CPRF, LDPR and A Just Russia, as well as the three parties that have no representation in the State Duma - the “right case, “Yabloko” and “Patriots of Russia”.

Chairman of United Russia “Boris Gryzlov said that the party will not destroy the current political system, which, in his words,” far from being the worst in the world. ” “While we understand that competition policy is as necessary as in the economy”, - said the speaker of the Duma. In his speech to the fore, he made a theme of the need to address the sufficiency of the RF subjects for ten years. “I believe that to be the subject of Russia - this is avery high rank.” Unfortunately, today we can see that a number of subjects of the RF are not self-sufficient. I think that, of course, not once, but for about 10 years, we must come to a situation when all subjects will be self-sufficient “- said Gryzlov. He also spoke about the initiatives, “United Russia” to improve politsistemy. In particular, the ruling party proposes to reduce the number of federal employees in the administrative regions of approximately 20%, which, according to Gryzlov, the budget would save the country about 50 billion rubles.

Speaker of the Federation Council, the leader of the party “Fair Russia” Sergei Mironov, in turn, said the complete absence of political competition between parties in Moscow. He noted that people now no longer trust such a result, when the regional elections show the results in support of the party in power, close to 100%. “We see a huge lack of trust in society, people”s trust in government, trust between different social groups, people”s trust in each other”, - said Sergei Mironov. According to him, one of the reasons for this - the fact that in Russia “political field there is little real competition ideology of the party”.

He also called for a multiparty system, and noted that his party opposes early voting in elections and voting at home, as well as the use of absentee ballots, because, according to the Liberal Democrats, this leads to a falsification of the results.

who heads the Communist Party Gennady Zyuganov, in his speech expressed his dissatisfaction with the fact that the opposition did not give a break to the local parliaments. He believes that one of the tools for ensuring equal political struggle could be an effective judicial system, however, he said, “today it is not able to democratize the political process in the country, and serves as a baton, which has the country”s citizens, so they did not express their own opinion. ” Communist leader also proposed to hold an open dialogue on the air of one of the central TV channels on the proposed by President Dmitry Medvedev, the country”s modernization program.
The leader of the Yabloko Party, Sergei Mitrokhin in his speech spoke about the need to eliminate the administrative resource, and also proposed to establish penalties for officials to pressure the media. He is convinced that the modernization of the country must begin with the media.
