Доброго времени суток
Речь идет о том, что система содержала и содержит генетически в себе трещины, свойственные прежней советской тоталитарной системе с ее антидемократической и антиправовой ***практикой властвования***.
Спасибо.

tendency to dominate
Or domineering tendency, but then you've got three adjectives in a row.
You could say "practice of," but it sounds a bit "Russian" to me.

way of governing
..with its antidemocratic ways of governing.
Although "ruling" would be closer to the original here, it sounds a bit awkward to say "practice of ruling". I think "way of governing" is a bit more natural.

: I like that way of turning "practices" into the noun, except maybe use "governing" or "governance" rather than "government".

Discussion
"Властвовать 1. Обладая высшей властью, управлять, править страною, государством. 2. Подчинять своей воле, управлять, распоряжаться. отт. Оказывать сильное воздействие, подчинять своему влиянию. 3. перен. Возвышаться над окружающими предметами или местностью. 4. перен. Занимать главенствующее положение; преобладать. отт. Действуя с чрезвычайной силой, охватывать всё пространство чего-либо (о бурях, штормах и т.п.)."
This covers both "governing/ruling" and "domination" in a more negative sense.
Plus Multitran, FWIW, gives for властвование: domination
