Test for strength

The whole country had the opportunity to observe how the non -Bolshevik coalition of the Communist Party and “unity” was formed in the State Duma literally overnight. True, disputes about how durable this union turns out to be, do not subside for a minute.

The predictive coalitions for a long century refer to the fact that the Bolsheviks and the Kremlin successfully collaborated in the past. The liberal presidential team, for example, managed to conduct through the Duma of the previous convocation, in which the Communists had a simple majority, a number of federal constitutional laws without great damage to their maintenance (“On the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation”, “On the Government of the Russian Federation”, “On the Judicial System of the Russian Federation” and “On Military Courts of the Russian Federation”).

Those who believe that a dolphin and a mermaid _ not a couple remind of a misfire that came out with the Kremlin with the laws on the state hoss. In January 1998, the Communists failed the presidential version, which proposed to fix the tricolor, the double -headed eagle and the wordless anthem to the music of Mikhail Glinka. However, they could not restore Soviet symbols. A year later, in the first reading, the parliament nevertheless adopted the law “On the State Anthem of the Russian Federation”, from which it was proposed to use the music of Alexander Alexandrov, but without the words of Mikhalkov and El Registan.

In addition, another constitutional law did not see the light - “On the Alternative Civil Service” (as amended by the President). Only members of Yabloko and individual sane parliamentarians from other non -communist fractions and groups voted for it.

Serious battles of the Duma of the past convocation also unfolded around the draft land code. The option, who came out of the bowels of the agrarian deputy group (now this is another ally of the Kremlin), gathered an almost constitutional majority of votes (270-280), but always met the veto of the president. In turn, the Kremlin version, which granted the peasant, the right to free sale of land, despite the fact that after long consultations with government emissaries, the leadership of the Communist Party allowed its satellites to support the project and was not adopted by parliament.

Considering that the Land Code, together with rejected or even not yet written constitutional laws, is listed among the priority, the adoption of which Vladimir Putin is waiting for the new Duma, it can be assumed that the non -Bolshevik coalition will survive exactly until any of the mentioned projects are put on the vote.
