TRANSFORMATION OF THE RUSSIAN CONSTITUTIONAL JUSTICE AT THE PRESENT STAGE: CURRENT REFLECTIONS

Abstract

The Russian legal system, including the justice system, has been operating under the
conditions of the updated Constitution for almost three years now. The significant changes made to
it have become a significant event in the life of our state, which we and our descendants have yet to
appreciate.

The constitutional changes have affected many areas of the country's public life, have had
and continue to have a significant impact on the process of lawmaking and law enforcement
practice. Under these conditions, it is quite obvious that neither the legislator nor the law enforcer is immune from mistakes, which are often revealed in the course of the administration of
justice by the courts. However, in those cases where errors are not corrected by the usual forms
of legal proceedings, the system of constitutional justice comes first, which puts an end to the
issues of protecting the foundations of the constitutional system, fundamental rights and freedoms of man and citizen, ensuring the rule and direct effect of the Constitution throughout the
territory of the Russian Federation. Federation. Such a high role of constitutional justice allows
the authors of this study to once again turn to the main stages in the formation of the constitutional justice system, to identify the "pros and cons" of the impact of the text of the "updated"
Constitution of the Russian Federation on the institutions of constitutional justice, primarily in
the subjects of the Russian Federation.
