Comparative Law and its Role in the Development of Russian Constitutionalism

Аннотация

The article examines the influence of foreign constitutional models on the formation of Russian constitutionalism and legal doctrine. The authors demonstrate that Russian legal thought devoted great attention to foreign legal practice throughout different historical epochs, although they note that attitudes toward it differed at various stages. They conclude that the contemporary period is characterized by closer interaction with foreign law, while managing to preserve nationally unique developmental trends.
