Hamidulin, V.S. Correlation of the center and the regions in the modern Russia: problems and perspectives.

Abstract: The federal structure is enshrined in the Constitution of Russia, but according to the author of the article, federalism in our state faces serious problems in reality. The steady centralization of relations between the center and the regions in the late 1990s and early 2000s led to an obvious weakening of the institutions of the federation in Russia and even to their abolition. The article examines the existing problems and prospects for their resolution, as well as some features of the theory of federalism.
