Abstract

On the basis of a comparative analysis of the constitutional models of different countries the approach, that considers the rotation of power not as a goal in itself, but as a means of avoiding the alienation of power from the people, has been proposed. Taking into account this analysis, the pattern of the presidential power, consisting of two interrelated parts, has been justified. Firstly, based on a critical rethinking of the optimality of two-term model of the rotation of the presidential power for all countries the author has formulated the provision that depending on the balance of political forces, historical experience, social traditions and values, different countries establish their own model which considered acceptable in a particular country on the condition of its legal legitimization. Secondly, the provision on the need to establish in Russian legislation the institution of recall of the President of the Russian Federation, who has not lived up to public expectations, by the will of the people, expressed in a national referendum, has been justified.
