The State Duma deprived Russians of reasons for the referendums of the State Duma on Thursday officially forbade the Russians to resolve the budget, taxes, as well as war and peace in the referendum. Corresponding amendments to the Federal Constitutional Law "On Referendum" were approved yesterday in the first reading.

Bologna process in action The State Duma on Thursday approved in the third, final reading a law establishing a two -level higher education. After September 1, 2009, Russian students will be able to receive two separate diplomas. The first is a bachelor (after four years of study in higher education), the second is a master (after two more). A delay from the army for students will remain at all levels of higher education. The only amendment adopted in the third reading, the deputies secured the government the right to approve the list of areas in which specialists at different levels would be prepared.

The authors of the document are deputies from United Russia - Vladimir Gruzdev, Alexander Moskalet and Valery Grebennikov clarify that it is forbidden to submit issues of the federal budget, tax fees, state states, changes in the financial obligations of the state, monetary emission, ratification of international agreements, the status and protection of state border and the world. United Russia claims that this bill under this bill fulfills the Decree of the Constitutional Court of March 21, 2007. “It’s just absurd that issues that have been in the department of the government and deputies of the State Duma be resolved in a referendum,” Mosklets told the newspaper. “People should not solve pressing issues at the referendum. If some citizens have proposals for the future three -year budget or by some other federal law, they can apply to the deputies in writing and express your position. "

Despite the strict opposition reaction, the bill was adopted. 306 people voted, against - 54.

Communist Viktor Tulkin, whose alternative bill was rejected by the decision of the relevant committee, believes that the formulations made in the bill of the United Russia are too blurry. They will allow CIK to ban almost all plebiscites in Russia. "Almost all the issues to which citizens can arrange a vote fall under the formulation of the bill. They are all, one way or another, are associated with amendments to the budget and are under the jurisdiction of the federal legislator. United Russia does everything possible to recognize any civilian initiatives to maintain power. By and large, citizens only have opportunities for revolutions," said the correspondent, "said the correspondent "Newspapers" Tulkin. The deputy believes that the bill violates the constitution and limits the sovereignty of Russians.
