What do we know about the intricacies of state administration? Very little. Especially when it comes to the Russian system. Like the country itself, not only Western experts, but also Russian citizens, have only a vague understanding of the machinery that governs Russia.

Behind icy stillness of the State Duma or Presidential Administration, a great mechanism is running to supplement the needs of the massive nation. Although certain branches sometimes have precedence, there may come a time when one of them is replaced by another, deemed more suitable by the current Kremlin occupant. The core always remain, outside of the ideological constraints or political favoritism, the system must run smoothly to ensure the survival of the Russian state.
