Concrete application.

So, if we start from the direct meaning of the word, then we can say the following. Everyone in different life situations can have some or other prerogatives.

The prerogative of power in Russia.

If all of the above is projected on the contemporary Russian reality, then the picture will be like that. The president is the main person of the state and in the state. He has a prerogative right for a number of important external and internal political problems and tasks. To begin with, he has the right to declare war on any state or to sign a peace treaty. Recognize the independence of any country and establish diplomatic relations with it, as happened with Abkhazia and South Ossetia in 2008. The president of the Russian Federation has more powers than both chambers of parliament and the entire government. Therefore, it is among his prerogatives to veto any law that the parliament approved or adopted. The State Duma to dissolve is also in the full competence of the president. He is subordinated to all power structures and law enforcement agencies.

Therefore, without any doubt, we can say: in the Russian Federation, the president is power!
