Renovation of the Constitution of the Russian Federation

Abstract

In the article, the author, starting from the provision of the stabilizing function of the constitution, discusses the Constitutional Reform of 2020, the cornerstone of which was the adoption of the fifth Law of the Russian Federation on the amendment to the Constitution of the Russian Federation “On improving regulation of certain issues of organizing public power” and the publication of its new text, taking into account amendments. The author of the article calls this renovation of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and gives arguments about the signs of renovation of the Constitution. One of the author’s conclusions is that changing the Constitution is an objective and natural process, and the “renovation of the Constitution” that took place in 2020 is not a threat, but a condition for implementing the stabilizing function of the Constitution of the Russian Federation.
