Sub-Statutory Policy-Making by the Executive Government of Constituent Entities of the Russian Federation

The exercise of the powers of the head of the executive power of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, as a rule, is carried out by executive authorities, and therefore its functionality in the field of executive power is most significant. He forms and directs the supreme executive body of state power of the subject of the Russian Federation, and also has legislative and supervisory powers. The head of the region carries out law–making activities — issues decrees (resolutions) and orders that are mandatory in the relevant subject of the Russian Federation. However, the normative legal acts issued by him and the executive authorities must be adopted on the basis of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and in compliance with any level of laws.
