RUSYA, ORTA ASYA VE KAFKASYA - Deneme Sınavı - 3

Russia’s march to independence began earlier, on June 20, 1990, when the RSFSR declared its independence from the Soviet Union in a resolution on sovereignty. This day is now celebrated as Independence Day in Russia

First of all, it is a nation and state that connects two civilizations and two continents, benefiting from East and West’s fault line. Russians were divided into “Westerners” and “Slavophiles.”

The presidential position was created in June 1991. Boris Yeltsin was elected Chairman of the RSFR by popular vote. It received 57% of the total votes. Thus, after the election, Yeltsin was seen as the legitimate leader of Russia.

That is why Vladimir Surkov, one of Putin’s closest advisers, describes the Russian political regime as a sovereign democracy, which means that democracy in Russia should have more Russian political culture and historical features than Western ideals.

Another turning point of Russian political development is the 1993 Constitutional Crisis between Yeltsin and the Parliaments and the Constitutional Court. Ending this crisis by force and having the Constitution after the crisis has had several significant effects on the Russian political system and institutions that continue today. One of the most important consequences is a strong presidential system. Second, there is a weak parliament and dispersed political parties. Third, it becomes harder to replace power with an election.

The 2003 parliamentary election ensured a new structure for Russia’s party system, called a “one-and a-half party” system. This means that the party of power, United Russia, has more influence on Russian political affairs than all other parties combined

In October 1853, a war broke out between Russia and the Ottoman Empires over a dispute over Russia’s role as the patron of Orthodox living in the Ottoman state and over religious rights in Jerusalem and the surrounding Holy Land. Tsar Nicholas saw this conflict further increasing Russian influence over the Ottoman Empire and realizing his dream of conquering Istanbul. However, Britain, France, and Piedmont states allied with the Ottoman Empire and sent their troops to Crimea. The Ottoman army and allied forces conquered Sevastopol. Russia accepted defeat and signed the Paris Peace Treaty in 1856. This war was a sign for Russia that the Western great powers would not allow Russia to fully control Ottoman lands and politics (Diller, 1993, pp. 18-19).

As it can be seen from the text above, Tsar Nicholas accepted the defeat, not the Ottoman empire.
