This article examines the legal status of the Emperor of the Russian Empire according to the Basic Laws of 1906, and the President of the Russian Federation according to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in the context of the analysis of their authorities and interaction with the three branches of power: executive, legislative and judicial.

The 1993 Constitution of the Russian Federation became the object of criticism even at the time of its adoption. The directions of this criticism vary from accusations that the Constitution preserves the colonial political regime and external governance of Russia, to complaints that it is a normative legal act of social confrontation in society and is no longer able to ensure its stability. Chapter 9 “Constitutional amendments and revision of the Constitution” determines that only the provisions of chapter 1 “Fundamentals of the constitutional system”, chapter 2 “Human and civil rights and freedoms” and chapter 9 itself cannot be revised, therefore, it is possible to revoke the current Constitution of the Russian Federation and adopt new Constitution of Russia. All other amendments to chapters 3–8 are adopted like the federal constitutional law and come into force after their approval by the legislative authorities of at least two-thirds of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The latter seems quite possible, and similar amendments to these chapters have already been in force since 2008. Is the revoking of the current Constitution of the country appropriate in this case, will this revoking entail the elimination of the most important foundations of the modern Russian state, and with them the existing constitutional rights and freedoms of an individual and citizen in Russia? This article is devoted to examining the problems of repealing the current Constitution of Russia and the legal consequences of this step.

The world of Western civilization is gradually, but inevitably losing its superiority in the political, economic and military-technical spheres and can no longer maintain a unipolar world.

This article is devoted to the analysis of existing problems and prospects for the development of Russia, as well as to the preparation of proposals for their legal support.
