For its hasty issuance of poorly written laws, the Russian State Duma is often called a “mad printer.” According to writer and journalist Alexander Podrabinek, the current Russian parliament is made up of deputies whose only aims are to please the president and retain their deputy status. Deputies Fedorov, Mikheev, Yarovaya, and Mizulina are only the most striking examples of the 450 Russian lawmakers. These are the most successful and effective deputies in the legislature today, but their focus lies not in improving legislation, but in the mass production of legal norms that ensure that power is permanent and society stays oppressed.
