The Federal Council has 176 members, two each elected from Russia's 89 territorial units. There are more than 20 parties currently competing in Russian politics. In the area of political structure and ages, Russia does not fit easily into any category. It is a new country, that has not had a lot of experience with democracy. It is going through major growing pains in its political structures.
Corruption is a major problem in the government.
In the final discussion of Russian politics I would venture to put them in the industrial age as far as their political structure and processes.
