The paper deals with the Russian political process. The purpose of the study is to reveal the features of the modern Russian political process. The main methodological approach chosen by the authors is a synergistic method. The paper presents the description of the formation of new political institutions in Russia. The process of transforming political institutions system in Russia is presented in three phases. The first phase is a dynamic equilibrium of the system. The second phase is imbalance. The third phase is a new dynamic equilibrium of the system restoring a relatively stable state. As a result of recent changes the political system has changed: there is a new hierarchy of institutions and players.
