Dobrynin, N.M. Brief essay on the fate of Russian constitutionalism: on nature, evolution and urgency of the constitutional reform

Abstract: The object of study in this article is Russian constitutionalism, its nature, principles and factors, allowing for its implementation, as well as the perspectives of constitutional target-setting in Russia in the light of urgent need for constitutional reform. The author pays much attention to the definition of constitutionalism, as well as the history of its development in the Russian state. Based upon his own study and analysis of numerous works of legal scholars, as well as upon the comparison of provisions declared by the Constitution with the political, economic, social and cultural reality, then the author draws a conclusion that there are deeply rooted contradictions in the Russian constitutionalism, and they allow one to call it non-sustainable. In the process of studies the author used the following methods: classification, analysis, synthesis, comparative legal studies, empirical and historic methods. The article includes scientifically novel elements, such as author’s definition of constitutionalism, as well as defining the vector for the constitutional target-setting in Russia and the main prerequisites for the constitutional reform.


Keywords:

state system, constitutionalism, constitutional reform, constitutional crisis, constitution, legal culture, social systems, administration, functions of the constitution, target –setting.
