{{Politics of Russia|expanded=President}}The Security Council of the Russian Federation (SCRF; Russian: Совет безопасности Российской Федерации (СБРФ); Sovet bezopasnosti Rossiiyskoiy Federatsii (SBRF)) is a consultative body of the Russian President that works out the President's decisions on national security affairs. Composed of key ministers and agency heads and chaired by the President of Russia, the SCRF was established to be a forum for coordinating and integrating national security policy. It is the successor of the Security Council of the USSR. History, status, and roleThe Security Council of the RSFSR was legally set up in April 1991 along with the creation of the post of the President of the RSFSR (the RSFSR was then one of the constituent republics of the USSR). The 1993 Constitution of Russia refers to the SCRF in Article 83, which stipulates (as one of the president′s prerogative) that the SCRF is formed and headed by the president of Russia, also saying that the status of the SCRF is to be defined by a federal law. The 2010 Law on Security defines the legal status of the SCRF as a "constitutional consultative body" concerned with elaboration of decisions by the president in the fields of Russia′s defence and national security.[1] The SCRF is composed of its chairman – the president of Russia, the Secretary of the SCRF, its full members, and members, as appointed by the president.[2] Under the law, the Secretary of the SCRF is appointed by the president and reports directly to him.[3] Decisions of the SCRF are adopted by its full members and approved by the president, who may issue decrees or orders for the purpose of implementation thereof.[4] The Presidential Decree of 6 May 2011 enacted the Statute of the SCRF[5] as well as a host of other statutes pertaining to the structure and composition of the SCRF.[6] It has been argued that the coordinating role defined for the Security Council in the National Security Strategy to 2020,[7] published in May 2009, represents a strengthening of its influence and importance within Russian governance under its new Secretary Nikolai Patrushev.[8] CompositionAs of 19 November 2018:- Permanent members
