Alexander Kynev

The full name of the position is Chairman of the State Duma. This is the main position in the Duma, and at the same time the most responsible. The Chairman of the State Duma is one of the top officials of the state; the future of the country largely depends on his decisions. The Chairman of the State Duma has a place in the country's governing apparatus immediately after the President (V.V. Putin), Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation (D.A. Medvedev) and Chairman of the Federation Council (V.I. Matvienko).

What's it like to be a chairman

The high status of the chairman comes with great responsibilities. Almost all organizational and personnel work in the Russian Parliament rests with the chairman. He is also often an informal mediator between the government and parliament, as he is respected and has high authority. As a rule, the Chairman of the State Duma, after being elected to office, becomes a media personality; he is more often mentioned in the media. His life and family become public.

A political career also often goes up and sometimes at odds with the party from which the politician was nominated. Such chairmen of the State Duma as Rybkin and Seleznev, after the end of their powers, continued their independent political careers, for example.

Responsibilities of the Chairman

All issues at the lower meetings are decided by the Chairman of the State Duma. He carries out general management and organizes work at meetings of the State Duma. He also establishes the internal work regime, guided by the Constitution and existing regulations. The Chairman is the leading person at meetings. Announces the agenda, puts forward proposals for discussion, announces speakers, announces results, etc.

The responsibility to represent the State Duma before other government bodies, as well as reporting to the government and the President of the Russian Federation, also lies with the chairman. He negotiates and represents the chamber before the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the Central Election Commission, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, the Courts of the Russian Federation, the Accounts Chamber, etc.

The head of the State Duma apparatus and his first deputy are appointed to the position only by the chairman of the Duma after the consent of the State Duma Council. The work of the State Duma apparatus and the State Duma Council is also organized and led by the chairman. A representative of the State Duma of the Russian Federation is present in the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation; this person is nominated for office and removed from office by the Chairman of the State Duma. The chairman can also initiate the replacement of the positions of his deputies, seats in committees and commissions of the State Duma.

Opportunities for the Chairman of the State Duma

If disputes or disagreements arise between government bodies in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and government bodies, or between a subject and a subject, the chairman of the State Duma committee participates in settlement activities.

It ensures access and familiarization of all deputies with received bills. All materials that relate to the topic discussed at future meetings are sent by the Chairman of the State Duma to deputy parties and to the State Duma committee. After reviewing and approving the bill, the chairman sends the necessary documents to the Federation Council for further readings. If the bill is not considered by the Federation Council, in accordance with Art. 105 part 5 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the Chairman of the State Duma of Russia sends the bill directly to the President of the Russian Federation.

The chairman may delegate his responsibilities for reporting on the work of the chamber in the past period to one of his deputies.

Despite the wide range of powers, any order, instruction or decision of the chairman can be canceled by the State Duma.

Election of the Chairman

The Chairman of the State Duma is elected from the deputies of the new convocation. Using ballots, deputies vote for candidates. Candidates for the position are nominated either from a party or from an association of deputies. Usually voting takes place secretly, but the State Duma may decide on open voting.

After being nominated as candidates for the post of Chairman of the State Duma, deputies speak from the podium, answer questions and outline their political course. After the candidates speak, representatives of parties or associations can also speak from the podium, supporting their candidate or criticizing their opponents.

Each presidential candidate may recuse himself. All others are put on the ballot. The one who receives at least half of the votes from the total number of voting deputies is considered elected. If none of the candidates became the leader of the vote, then a second round of elections is held. Only the first two candidates with the maximum number of votes are nominated there. As in the first round, the one who gets at least half the votes is considered elected, despite the fact that each State Duma member votes for only one candidate.

Subtleties of choice

If the votes are distributed equally and the leader cannot be determined, a repeat vote is scheduled. If after this none of the candidates received the required number of votes, then the State Duma begins to elect the first deputy chairman and deputy chairmen. Candidates for the post of Chairman of the State Duma can run for the post of deputies. Each deputy chairman of the State Duma is determined by a majority vote.

The chairman of the State Duma can be dismissed from office by a majority vote in a Duma vote.

First convocation

The first State Duma was formed in the Russian Empire, during the time of the tsars. In modern history, the first convocation of the State Duma was on December 12, 1993. Deputies were then elected for two years. The first chairman of the State Duma of the first convocation is Ivan Petrovich Rybkin, nominated from the “Agrarian Party” of Russia.

The State Duma of the first convocation existed until January 14, 1996; hearings, readings and debates were held from January 11, 1994 to December 23, 1995.

First Chairman

Ivan Petrovich Rybkin went down in Russian history as the first Chairman of the State Duma of Russia. The deputy with a higher education as a mechanical engineer later became a candidate of technical sciences and defended his doctoral dissertation; he is a doctor of political sciences. Before being elected to the State Duma, he was co-chairman of the SPT (Socialist Party of Working People), after working in the State Duma of the first convocation, he was deputy chairman of the Central Election Commission of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. In January 1994 he joined the Agrarian Party of Russia, where he became a member of the Board. He was elected deputy of the second convocation. In mid-1994 he switched back to the Socialist Workers' Party. A year later he became chairman of the Public Association “Regions of Russia”. Since 1996, he was appointed chairman of the Socialist Party of Russia. In the same year, he took the post of Minister of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.

This example shows how Rybkin’s career took off after he served as Chairman of the State Duma.

It all started with work as a people’s deputy in 1990. Rybkin was elected deputy of the Volgograd region, where at that time he worked as the first secretary of the Soviet district committee of the CPSU of Volgograd. Later, Rybkin was appointed deputy head of the Glavvodkhoz of the Ministry of Agriculture in Moscow.

The difficult path of a pioneer

In the first round of elections for the position of Chairman of the State Duma of the first convocation, 6 candidates took part: Rybkin from the APR party and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Vlasov from the Russian Way, Medvedev from the New Regional Policy and PRES, Lukin from Yabloko, Kovalev from Russia's Choice ", Braginsky from the "Union of December 12". In the first round, Rybkin and Vlasov received a majority of votes, but neither of them overcame the established threshold. Since both candidates were nominated by left-wing patriotic forces, Vlasov decided to give his votes to Rybkin and called on his fellow party members to vote for his opponent. One of the LDPR deputies tried to challenge the fairness of the elections, but the majority of deputies voted against Rybkin’s re-election initiative, expressing support for him.

Four times during his term of office they wanted to re-elect Rybkin, remove him from office and deprive him of his powers. And every time the majority of deputies supported him during the vote.

While working in the State Duma of the second convocation, Rybkin was forced to independently resign as a deputy in connection with his appointment as Minister of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.

Who is the Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation today?

The name of the Chairman of the State Duma of the sixth convocation is often heard and known to many. Sergey Evgenievich Naryshkin has held this post since December 21, 2011. Before that, he served as head of the presidential administration from 2008 to 2011. He was elected to the State Duma from the United Russia party.

Sergey Naryshkin comes from the Leningrad region. The Chairman of the State Duma is a radio mechanical engineer by education, graduated from the KGB Higher School, and then from the International Institute of Management. Author of a large number of scientific works, monographs and articles. Since September 2004, he has been the head of the Government Staff, and since May 2008, the head of the Presidential Administration.

The State Duma is the lower house of the Russian Parliament, called the Federal Assembly. The chamber has its own leader - the Chairman of the Russian Federation. His duties, powers and rights will be discussed in detail in this article.

Russian State Duma: general characteristics

Information about the Russian Parliament is enshrined in Article 95 of the Russian Constitution. According to this article, the Federal Assembly includes two chambers - the State Duma and the Federation Council. The Lower House has 450 deputies, who are elected for five years. Only a Russian citizen who has reached the age of 21 and has the opportunity to participate in elections can be a deputy. All State Duma employees work on a permanent basis.

Members of Parliament have immunity, which is valid throughout the entire term of their powers. Deprivation of immunity is possible only at the request of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation.

The Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation plays a special role in parliament. It is this official who is required to manage 450 deputies, as well as monitor the work of various committees and meetings.

Work of the State Duma of the Russian Federation

The first meeting of the Duma takes place on the thirtieth day after its formation. At the same time, the head of the Russian state has the opportunity to convene a meeting ahead of schedule.

In the lower house of Parliament there is a tradition according to which the meeting is opened not by the chairman of the State Duma, but by the oldest deputy in age. At the first meeting, the most general organizational issues are resolved.

On what principles is the work of the State Duma based?

Firstly, this is the principle of legality. Deputies must work in accordance with the Russian Constitution, federal and federal constitutional laws.
Secondly, this is the principle of multi-party politics and diversity. The State Duma should include several parties and political associations.
Thirdly, this is the principle of collective resolution of issues and their free discussion.

Structure of the State Duma: Russian Federation

Representatives of the State Duma create special factions to jointly consider issues and express a common position on certain problems. The created committees and commissions should concern the following areas:

financial market and Russian economy;
industry and state property issues;
budget and tax policy;
labor and social policy;
state and constitutional building;
ensuring criminal, civil, arbitration and procedural legislation;
entrepreneurial and innovation sphere, etc.

Meetings of commissions and committees must be held at least twice a month. The question of the competence of their work is decided by the Chairman of the State Duma. Thus, if less than half of the committee members are present, its work will be considered invalid.

About the Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation

What is known about the head of the lower parliamentary house? Information about this official is enshrined in the 1998 resolution of the State Duma of the Russian Federation “On the Regulations of the State Duma of the Russian Federation.” According to this regulatory act, the Chairman of the State Duma is one of the highest officials in the Russian Federation. He ranks fourth in the list of protocol seniority.

The position appeared in 1993 - since the adoption of the state Constitution. The chairman is elected by secret ballot, which is arranged by the deputies themselves. The term of office is the same as that of the corresponding convocation - exactly 5 years.

According to Russian legislation, the chairman of the lower parliamentary house has a fairly wide range of powers and responsibilities. All organizational and cadastral work of the Duma rests with the chairman. In addition, the official in question is an unofficial intermediary between the executive and legislative branches.

Powers of the Chairman of the State Duma

The Chairman of the Russian State Duma is responsible for resolving disputes between federal authorities and regional authorities. His powers also include ensuring equal access for deputies to familiarize themselves with draft laws being drafted or adopted. The head of the lower parliamentary house sends all the materials necessary for consideration to the relevant committees and parties. The consideration and approval of bills ends with their sending to the Federation Council, the highest parliamentary chamber. This is necessary for further readings. If the Federation Council refuses to consider the bill, then the Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation will personally send the necessary documentation to the President of the Russian Federation. This possibility is ensured by Article 105 of the country’s basic law.

The chairman of the lower house of Parliament can delegate all his legal duties to his deputies. Moreover, any of his instructions, decisions or orders can be canceled by the State Duma itself - based on the results of a special vote of all its members.

Responsibilities of the Chairman

What mandatory functions does the Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation have? It is worth paying attention to Article 11 of the relevant “Regulations”, which specifies the following functions:

Of course, not all the powers of the Chairman of the State Duma were mentioned above. However, the main direction of his activity is still lawmaking. It is the chairman who accepts and submits bills for consideration, and also organizes an optimal environment for lawmaking.

Appointment of the Chairman of the State Duma

How is the head of the lower parliamentary house appointed? This question can be answered using the example of the election of the Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation in 2014.

All-Russian elections are held, as a result of which 450 people are vested with the corresponding powers. All deputies who come to power unite into factions, after which they nominate their candidates. A secret vote is held, the result of which is the election of the Chairman of the State Duma. The candidate for whom at least half of the votes were cast is considered elected. Otherwise, a second round is held.
