The constitutional history of Russia includes more than 100 years and six constitutions. This book is about Russian constitutions, the historical context in which they were created, and the challenges they addressed. How did it happen that the autocracy finally came to the necessity of a constitution in the twentieth century? What was soviet and the post-soviet constitutionalism, and what are the lessons of the constitutional history of Russia? The author, one of the most active authors of the 1993 Russian constitution, explains its inner contradictions and the problems with its implementation in Russia. (1.145 kg.)
