Problems of compliance with legal technology during the amendments to the Constitution of Russia in 2020 and the subsequent adoption of federal laws

In the article, the author analyzes the constitutional novelties of 2020, including the emergence of a unified system of public power, the replacement of members of the Federation Council with senators of the Russian Federation, the change in the status of these persons and the composition of the upper house of the Russian Parliament, and also notes the inconsistency of the Federal Law “On General Principles of the organization of public Power in the subjects of the Russian Federation” with the norms of Article 104 of the Constitution Of the Russian Federation in terms of the names of the legislative (representative) bodies of the subjects of the Russian Federation. Special attention is paid to the violation of legal technique in the text of the Basic Law of the country as a result of the changes made and the presence in the Constitution of the Russian Federation of both current senators of the Russian Federation and members of the Federation Council, who ceased to exist. As a change in the situation, it is proposed to resolve the existing contradictions with subsequent amendments to the Basic Law of the country and bring the Federal Law “On General Principles of the Organization of Public Power in the subjects of the Russian Federation” in accordance with the norms of the Constitution of the Russian Federation.
