This system can be regarded as a discretization of the Toda flow. In case of $SL_n$ the integrals of the factorization dynamics are integrals of the relativistic Toda system. A substantial part of the paper is devoted to the study of symplectic leaves in simple complex Lie groups, its Borel subgroups and their doubles. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/solv-int/9906013v2
