thumb A Decree of the President of the Russian Federation (Russian: Указ Президента Российской Федерации; Ukaz Prezidenta Rossiyskoy Federatsii) or Executive Order (Decree) of the President of Russia[1][2] is a legal act (ukase) with the status of a by-law made by the President of Russia.
History
In 1992 and 1993 a constant war between President Yeltsin and the Russian parliament became known as "war of laws" when presidential decrees issued by president Yeltsin were overturned by separate legislation adopted by the parliament. The war reached its peak in October 1993 when Yeltsin ordered to shoot the parliament building. Following the referendum of 1993 which resulted in the enacting of new constitution, many decrees issued by Yeltsin, a process which was shrinking as the legislative vacuum filled-in by enacting of various laws thus limiting the range of presidential discretion.[3]
