The article is devoted to the problems of constitutional control in the subjects of the Russian Federation. The article examines its origins related to the formation and functioning of constitutional (statutory) courts at this level, reveals the reasons that did not allow the constitutional justice of the subjects of the Russian Federation to become a full-fledged state legal institution for 30 years. It is shown how, as a result of the constitutional reform, these courts were abolished, and a recommendation of the federal legislator appeared on the creation of constitutional (statutory) councils under the legislative (representative) state authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation instead of them. The article analyzes the legal regulation of the organization and activities of such bodies in domestic and foreign practice. Taking this into account and based on the existing constitutional and legal possibilities, proposals are formulated on the status of these councils (their nature, the procedure for their formation and work, powers and decisions), which allows them to be an effective body of constitutional (statutory) control in the subjects of the Russian Federation.

This article analyzes the problems of the category of certainty of the decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation in the judicial enforcement practice of courts of general and arbitration jurisdiction. The key role played by the Constitutional Court in ensuring the direct action of the “living” Constitution of the Russian Federation in the work of the courts is substantiated. The certainty and uncertainty of the implementation of the judgments of the Constitutional Court as the paired legal categories in judicial law enforcement practice are analyzed. Their content side is disclosed. It is noted that the failure to comply with the requirements of the category of certainty of the decisions of the Constitutional Court leads to ambiguity, incorrectness, and also complicates the process of their implementation by judicial instances. Taking into account the foregoing, the regulation of relations is not based on the uniform practice of law enforcement that entails a violation of rights and legitimate interests of specific applicants and an indefinite number of persons. It is also explained in the paper that in the judicial law enforcement practice, the main task of constitutional law is the certainty of the text of decisions of the Constitutional Court. Theoretical problems in the sphere of the domestic constitutional justice, which are of theoretical and practical importance for ensuring the unity and consistency of judicial enforcement practice, have been developed. Conclusions referring to the problem under study are drawn and suggestions are made.


Constitutional (statutory) courts are among the most effective bodies to protect the rights and freedoms of citizens. As a result of constitutional (statutory) legal proceedings, not only the person who filed the complaint receives judicial protection, but also other citizens whose rights were violated or could be violated, since recognizing a normative legal act as inadequate to the constitution, such a court cancels it. In his work, the author attempts to objectively assess the level and state of constitutional justice in the regions of the Russian Federation. In view of the fact that, with the exception of justices of the peace, the constitutional (statutory) courts are the only courts of the subjects of the Russian Federation, their absence in most entities violates the principle of separation of powers that is necessary in any democratic state. In addition, constitutional (statutory) courts play an important part in protecting the rights and freedoms of citizens, including allowing them to challenge the constitutionality of a particular law of the subject, as well as, for example, the regulatory legal act of the local government. The author concludes that there is a necessity to organize such courts, analyzes the problems in the already established courts of this category, and also formulates proposals for improving constitutional justice in the subjects of the Russian Federation.

The article aims at studying the legal nature and essence of constitutional proceedings with due regard to historical experience and modern legislative approaches to the structure and system of constitutional justice in Russia. The main research method was the deductive method which allowed the authors to study the legal nature of the Constitutional Court and its role in the separation of powers in Russia. The article also used the inductive method, the method of systemic analysis, and comparative-legal and historical methods. To solve the research problem, it is necessary to consider the legal foundations and features of constitutional justice based on the amendments made to the Constitution of the Russian Federation on July 1, 2020. The article proves that the legal nature and the main goal of constitutional control remain unresolved issues. According to the authors, the most important condition for the creation of a strong judicial power is its high independence. Judicial errors can also cause distrust in the judiciary.
