In this regard, the reform of the executive power was closely linked with the need to strengthen the unity of the activities of ministers in order to establish a political counterweight to the people's representatives.

Judgments of domestic state and public figures can serve as a theoretical basis for comprehensive analysis and research of the state of executive power contained in the Constitution of the modern Russian state. Despite more than a century ago, the judgments of officials, public figures and publicists about the essence of the executive power remain very useful and can be used in the reform of the modern political system of the Russian Federation, since even now the question of the place of the executive in the system of the state mechanism and possible options for deterrence remains relevant.
