The delegation of powers doctrine is embodied in Article 3 of the Russian Civil Code of 1994. According to the provision of Article 3(2) of the Russian Civil Code, civil law relations shall be regulated primarily by statute, i.e., by the Civil Code as well as by other federal laws (statutes enacted by the federal parliament) that are consistent with the Civil Code. However, Article 3(3) delegates to the President of the Russian Federation the power to regulate civil law relations as long as any decrees issued by the President on such matters are consistent with the Civil Code and other federal laws dealing with the same subject matter. Additionally, Article 3(4) delegates to other executive branch agencies the power to regulate civil law relations as long as the regulations issued by such agencies are consistent with the Civil Code, other federal laws, and the decrees of the President dealing with the same subject matter. In other words, under the arrangement set forth in Article 3 of the Russian Civil Code, the power to regulate civil law relations in the Russian Federation is vested in the Russian federal parliament, which exercises such authority through the enactment of the Civil Code. By virtue of delegation from the Russian federal parliament, the power to regulate civil law relations is also granted to the President of the Russian Federation and to the other executive agencies of the federal government, with the caveat that the exercise of such delegated powers by the President and the regulations promulgated by the other federal executive agencies are consistent with the Civil Code and other statutes that regulate civil law relations.
