Abstract
  • This paper is a study of a legal precedent stemming from conflicts between the provisions of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and Federal Law on Election of the President of the Russian Federation No. 19-FZ dated January 10, 2013. It studies the legal nature of the phenomenon of the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation and its standing among government authorities. A reasoned conclusion is made that the electoral board system of the Russian Federation de facto forms the fourth electoral (shaping) branch of power along with the legislative, executive and judicial ones. The author reasonably finds that the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation had powers to register Alexei Navalny, a Russian opposition politician, as a candidate for President of the Russian Federation. Solid evidence of similar historical precedents is provided. Absurdity of the decision to deny registration of Mr. Navalny as a candidate, as well as a weak and illogic nature of the underlying arguments are shown.
