Answer to Question 1

The constitution that provides the current institutional structure of Russian
government was approved in a national referendum on December 12, 1993. The
constitution also created a legislature, called the Federal Assembly, consisting of an
upper housecalled the Federation Council, to which two representatives of each of
Russia's regions are sentand a lower house, called the Duma, which consists of 450
representatives popularly elected for five-year terms.

Answer to Question 2

Communism refers to a political doctrine that holds that the wealthy exploit workers and the poor under capitalist economic systems; that economic wealth should be redistributed as much as possible; and that a single, vanguard political party should direct the government and control the state.
In economics, Stalinist-style communism came to mean state ownership of almost all productive assets, including land, industry, and infrastructure; a program of government-directed industrialization; collectively owned and operated farms; and the substitution of the market for setting prices and regulating supply and demand with a vast system of centralized economic planning.
