The Russian society has gotten used to the new regional legislative bodies (dumas), however these new political institutions are still quite ineffective and weak. The idea of expanding the government machine was originally very welcome, but the concept of separation of power is not rooted in Russian political culture. This monograph studies the issue of collective actions by local legislative bodies. Contents: Evolution of forms: Separation of power and institutional choice; Autonomy which did not happen: Russian parliamentary institutions at the federal and regional levels; Laws vs chaos: Budgetary process in regions of Russia; Origins of rules: Institutional choice in budgetary process; Conditions of negotiation: Procedure of debating and approving; Hidden weapon: Conflicts while debating the budget; Signs of activism: Demand for law and the role of legislative bodies in the regional budgetary process.
