"Both in pre-revolutionary Russia and in the Soviet period, the head of state traditionally has been the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. Today the President of Russia is also authorized to head the Armed Forces. In peacetime, the head of state exercises general political supervision of the Armed Forces, while in wartime he oversees the defense of the state and its Armed Forces in warding off agression. The President's powers as Commander in Chief are determined in the federal law "On Defense" (Articles 4 and 13).
