Answer 1

原文可參閱, http://www.carnegie.ru/en/pubs/media/9995ShevCH.pdf
Today, in the middle of Putin’s second term, the system of governance has acquired a new logic. Its main operating principles are: the subjugation of all branches of government to the executive; the merger of political power and corporate ownership; the combination and incorporation of incompatible governing principles, thus preventing the formation of political alternatives to the regime; consensus among the political class and a portion of society on the need to maintain the status quo; political expediency as the driving force behind the regime’s actions; and aspirations to great power status as a substitute for ideology.

1.) The subjugation of all branches of government to the executive. 將所有政府的分支機構納入行政權的掌控之中

subjugation的動詞是subjugate, 意思是bring under domination or control, especially by conquest 中文字典翻作 "鎮壓; 征服" 容易誤導, 句中的意思應是 "收服, 納入"

the executive --- 指民主政治中的 "行政體系", 三權分立的體系, 指行政(the executive), 立法(the legislature), 司法(the judiciary)
收

2.political expediency as the driving force behind the regime's actions.
政治上的權宜措施成為政權的決策與施行背後的驅動力

expediency --- 權宜措施, convenient and practical although possibly improper or immoral. (對長遠發展可能有不利影響, 或為鞏固權勢而作的利益交換)
actions --- policy decision-making and implementation 政策決定與實施, 官員任命, 外交與國防決策
