ST. PETERSBURG, April 27. /TASS/. Those who sought to divide and destabilize Russian society failed because they didn’t know who they were dealing with, President Vladimir Putin said during a meeting of the Council of Legislators.
He stressed that Russia is faced with unprecedented challenges, but bans are not the only thing it should holster in its response toolkit.
TASS has summed up his key statements.
There are different points of view concerning the role of individual politicians and lawmakers in the Russian revolution of 1917, but those early Russian parliamentarians deserve respect and gratitude nonetheless: "Generally, and I would like to stress this, the experience of Russia’s first lawmakers deserves our respect and gratitude, it should be analyzed and conceptualized scientifically, politically, and philosophically."
A bicameral parliamentary model is effective in a large multinational and multi-religious country: "In fact, the first model of a two-house parliamentary system emerged and now, it’s enshrined in our constitution. This system is important and effective in a large multinational and multi-religious country."
