It would seem that the vertical is basically built. At least at the federal level, everything is captured, cemented and controlled from the Kremlin. The design is almost ideal in its rigidity, if not for one small snag. In essence, it is nonsense, a trifle and does not mean anything, but it spoils the overall appearance and disrupts the harmony. The Chairman of the Constitutional Court is elected by some irresponsible people - the judges of this court, his colleagues. Moreover, by secret ballot. That is, secret from everyone, even from the Kremlin!
Medvedev decided to eliminate the disorder. The State Duma, of course, supported him. From now on, the president himself will nominate a candidate for the chairman of the court to parliament, and the Federation Council will approve it. In their haste, they even forgot to stipulate in the law the situation when the Federation Council refuses to support the candidacy proposed by the president. But this, of course, is fantastic!
Now it appears that all federal positions are free from elections. It's time to go to the grassroots level and abolish elections of mayors, municipal councilors and elections in general. As an exception - temporary, of course - it is possible to leave citizens some freedom in choosing a life partner. But, of course, for the time being. Then the spouses will be appointed by the President of the Russian Federation or his authorized representatives in municipal districts and rural areas.
