Its first edition was published in 2011, when Dmitrii Medvedev was Russia’s President. Since then there was a regime change in 2012 as Vladimir Putin returned to the presidency, and, significantly, dramatic shifts in constitutionality as Russia pursues a ‘return to traditional values’.    The book explores the Constitution’s evolution over its nearly 30 years’ existence, including the significant amendments of 2020. This second edition situates these important changes in the context of Russia’s historical and legal development, as Putin continues to dominate the political scene. It also looks at broader constitutional questions on the interrelation between the main State agencies, the role of the courts, human rights and their enforcement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is no better introduction to the constitutional infrastructure in Russia available in the English language than that produced by Henderson. -- William E Butler * The Journal of Comparative Law *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTable of Legislation \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eTable of Conventions, Treaties etc \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eDocuments from the Communist Party of the Soviet Union \u003c\/i\u003e   \u003cb\u003e1.
