“…For example, paragraph 2 of Article 67.1 solemnly proclaims that "The Russian Federation, united by a thousand-year history, preserving the memory of ancestors who passed on to us ideals and faith in God, as well as the continuity in the development of the Russian state, recognizes the historically established state unity" (Mälksoo 2021). However, in general, the above examples are not decisive against the background of those changes that are commonly called the destruction of the last checks on the presidential power (Partlett 2020). The possibility of the President of the Russian Federation to propose to the Federation Council to dismiss a particular judge of the Constitutional or Supreme Court threatens the independence of the entire judicial corps of the highest courts.…”

“…Swoistym panaceum na problemy wewnętrzne i międzynarodowe jawi się wzmocnienie instytucji Prezydenta, który realizując kompetencje egzekutywy jest jednocześnie ponad modelem trójpodziału władzy. Oceniając możliwe długoterminowe skutki reformy można się zgodzić z Williamem Partlettem, twierdzącym, że osłabia ona instytucje władzy publicznej w Rosji, a tym samym może skutkować głębokim kryzysem wewnętrznym 29 .…”

W 2020 r. miała miejsce najpoważniejsza jak do tej pory nowelizacja ustawy zasadniczej Federacji Rosyjskiej. Doprowadziła ona do wzmocnienia pozycji prezydenta w systemie władzy publicznej, umożliwiła W. Putinowi rządzenie do 2034 r. oraz wprowadziła szereg innych istotnych zmian. Celem poniższego artykułu jest omówienie okoliczności nowelizacji, treści zmian oraz dokonanie ich wstępnej oceny. Charakterystyki nowelizacji dokonano w ujęciu tematycznym, skupiając się na: relacjach wzajemnych organów władzy publicznej, miejscu prawa międzynarodowego w systemie źródeł prawa Rosji oraz innych poprawkach o charakterze tożsamościowym i aksjologicznym. Skutkiem reformy jest wzmocnienie pozycji ustrojowej prezydenta, nawet przy formalnym utrzymaniu modelu semiprezydenckiego, ograniczenie roli parlamentu, samorządu lokalnego, a także pozbawienie autonomii władzy sądowniczej.

Russia is still dealing with the legacy of widespread Soviet oppression. An important Rehabilitation Law adopted in 1991 established a compensation system for victims of state repression, including a right to housing in their families' pre-exile place of residence. However, the practical realization of these rights has been problematic, particularly following amendment to the 1991 Law in 2004. There is a cohort of elderly victims who as children were exiled with their parents. Three of these unsuccessfully brought claims for their promised housing and eventually appealed to the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation. In December 2019, the Court issued a landmark ruling supporting the claimants. Here we explain the historical context and contemporary significance of this important constitutional case.
