     Abstract. Being an extension of the author's considerations on the crisis of parliament
     and parliamentarism in the Western countries and in Russia, this article is an elaborate
     follow-up study on  the process of turning the executive-administrative branch of
     government  into the representative of the state, the process running along with the
     degradation of parliament as a representative body of the people. In reference to the
     current form of this process, the author poses a question: does this process ultimately lead
     to the dictatorship of the executive-administrative authorities? In that context, the author
     points out to the presence of some latent and manifest forms of dictatorship as a form of
     governance, drawing a clear distinction between dictatorship as a form of governance
     and dictatorship as a political regime. At this point, the author gives his own contribution
     to the political philosophy and legal theory in terms of introducing and defining the
     concepts of commissary and decemvirate (decemviri) dictatorship. On the other hand, by
     analyzing the process of 'presidentialization in the actual political and legal environment of
     the aforementioned states, the author establishes the concept of the hexagonal crystal of
     political philosophy. The results of this research have also provided grounds for another
     signficant contribution to the general theory of law. Thus, in the final part of this study,
     the author presents and elaborates on the theory of cyclic creation (formation) of the legal
     order. Apart from the descending line in the creation of the legal order, there is also the
     ascending line in the creation of the legal order. The discovery and presentation of the
     ascending line is the author's individual contributions to the theory of the cyclic creation
     of the law. In the closing statements, the author explains the original concept of the real
     legal order which is to include social solidarity as the primary legal principle. This
     novelty is also the author's original standpoint.

     Key  words: Pleins pouvoirs, presidentialization, dictatorship, theory of cyclic
                  creation (formation) of the legal order.
