TRENDS IN THE MODERNIZATION OF CONSTITUTIONAL CONTROLIN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Аннотация

This article presents the author's analysis of the changes in the legislation on the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, that are being discussed at the highest governmental level.
In particular, special attention is paid to the formation of new trends in adjusting the institution of constitutional control (the procedural aspect), which are in demand by the political elite and are often necessary for immediate adjustment of the political forces balance, but, at the same time, are insufficiently developed from the point of legal theory. The study concludes that such a discrepancy between the expected and that of being carried out directions of development of the institution of constitutional control inevitably leads to increased risks in the activities of the Constitutional Court and also hardly correlates with such fundamental constitutional principles as maintaining the trust of citizens to the activities of the state (including its certain governmental bodies), as well as legal certainty (in the context of predictability of the legal effect of regulation).
