Lyudmila Bokova, a senator from Saratov Oblast, deputy head of the Federation Council Committee for Constitutional Legislature and State-Building, said that the Russian parliament was what kept the balance and distributed the power in the country. The executive power belongs to the government, the legislative to the Federal Assembly, judicial to the hierarchy of courts.
Igor Chernyshev, a senator from Tomsk Oblast, deputy head of the Federation Council Committee for Social Policy, called the legislative branches an air bag for people afflicted by unpopular decisions or idleness of the legislative branch.
Sergey Katanandov, a senator from Karelia, the first deputy head of the Federation Council for Federal Structure, Regional Policy, Local Self-Governance and North Affairs, reminded that the Federation Council had always taken part in serious issue in the 1990s, protected interests of regions and their inhabitants.

Alexey Alexandrov, a senator from Kaluga Oblast, the first deputy head of the Federation Council Committee for Constitutional Legislature and State-Building, noted that the State Duma and the Federation Council were very balanced, which is important in modernizing the Russian law. According to the senator, both institutions have very many skilled, wise and respectable people valuing their reputation.
Valery Ryazansky, a senator from Kursk Oblast, the head of the Federation Council Committee for Social Policy, has a conservative outlook on lawmaking. In his opinion, stability and conservatism are the best variants, even though they may demonstrate slower progress. Radical changes, such as a raise of the retirement age, create an atmosphere of distrust and lead to worse repercussions than a conservative approach.
