The office is the federation's head of state and has formal presidency over the State Council as well as being the commander in chief of the Russian Armed Forces. The office was to be introduced in 1918 after the February Revolution with the current office emerging after a referendum of 1991.

Gorbachev became first and last president of the Union. His tenure was marked by the legal and political confrontation with Russia and other republics of the USS ...
