Yeah, the Russian presidential ability to dissolve is a pretty common check/tool in the Constitution. It grew pretty violent once (Yeltsin), but it's a power the President has in his pocket. He can dissolve the government as well as the Duma if I'm remembering it right.
For example, if the Duma is really hindering Prime Minister replacements (reject three nominations from the President), he can dissolve the Duma simply due to the fact that they're slowing the whole thing down and this causes some parts of the government to come to a grinding halt. I don't see this as bizarre or anything of the sort; figured this was just how Russian politics worked. It's a cleaning house sort of procedure of sorts from what I thought.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
Hey, maybe you should try that thing Chie was talking about.
