Kravets, I.A. Constitutionality of legal acts: Russian doctrine and practice.

Abstract: The modern theory of Russian constitutional law currently faces the goal of conceptual development of the position of the Constitution of the Russian Federation within the state’s legal system. In the absence of such a concept, explaining the application of the Constitution, it is rather complicated to correctly form the relationship between the Constitution and other legal acts. Morever, such a concept should be aimed to fight various violations and deviances from the constitutional provisions at the federal level, at the level of the subjects of the Russian federation, and, finally, at the municipal level. The general theory of law includes an axiom on normative unity of normative legal act and its interpretation acts. Some signs of such unity can be found in the practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation.
