Undoubtedly, Russia occupies a distinct position within the political landscape, differentiating it from Western democracies that themselves exhibit considerable variation. This uniqueness can be attributed, in part, to Russia’s geographic characteristics, encompassing diverse subdivisions characterized by variations in population, natural resources, territorial expanse, and distance from the central authority. However, what truly distinguishes Russia is its contemporary history and recent experiences with federalization- a framework that has defined its operations since it became the Russian Federation following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The objective of this paper is to analyze the distinctive features of Russian federalism in its early stages, employing a comparative perspective against the Spanish case, in order to ascertain the consequences of the legal, organizational, and territorial arrangements established during Russia’s early democratization period. The focus is to evaluate the implications of these changes on the establishment of a legally-binding democracy and a well-functioning federation, ultimately questioning whether Russia genuinely qualifies for either of these classifications.

Konstytucja Rosji z 1993 r. była wielokrotnie zmieniana. Największa nowelizacja została przeprowadzona 14 marca 2020 r. Nie jest to jednak rewizja ustawy zasadniczej. Nowelizacja zawiera zmiany wzmacniające pozycję konstytucyjną Prezydenta FR, korygujące ustrój federalny oraz status prawny dwuizbowego parlamentu i Rządu FR. Wprowadzono nowy organ konstytucyjny Radę Państwową FR oraz po raz pierwszy zapis o wierze w Boga. Zapisano prawo Rosji do nieuznawania orzeczeń i decyzji organów międzynarodowych sprzecznych z Konstytucją FR oraz prawo wspierania rodaków mieszkających za granicą w wykonywaniu ich praw w celu zapewnienia ochrony ich interesów. Nowelizacja Konstytucji FR ma zasadnicze znaczenie dla prowadzonej polityki i realizowania strategii bezpieczeństwa narodowego Rosji.

The 1993 Russian constitution has been amended many times. The largest amendment was carried out on March 14, 2020. However, this is not a revision of the Constitution. The amendment includes changes strengthening the constitutional position of the President of the Russian Federation, correcting the federal system and the legal status of the bicameral Parliament and the Government of the Russian Federation. A new constitutional body was introduced, the State Council of the Russian Federation, and, for the first time, a provision on faith in God was introduced. Russia’s right not to recognize rulings and decisions of international bodies contrary to the Russian Constitution and the right to support compatriots living abroad in the exercise of their rights to protect their interests were enshrined. The amendment to the Russian Constitution is of fundamental importance for the policy pursued and the implementation of Russia’s national security strategy.
