After becoming president, Vladimir Putin re-formed the Federal Council as a way of taming both the rebellious rulers of the regions and the second chamber itself. Under Putin's predecessor Boris Yeltsin, the Council had become a self-confident third force in the country. Putin's innovations are already showing results. The Federal Council has declined from autonomous body with the power of veto to instrument for carrying out presidential policy, and it no longer functions effectively as a chamber representing the regions. This weakening of the upper chamber is having a negative effect on Russia's democratic development by strengthening the authoritarian tendencies in Putin's planned democracy.
