Abstract
The article analyzes the role and significance of the current Russian Constitution. It examines its advantages and disadvantages that have accumulated over the thirty-year period of its existence. The author also discusses the problems associated with the need to reform and modernize constitutional norms in order to improve legislation. It is noted that the development of national constitutional legislation is impossible without relying on progressive international experience and without taking into account the preservation of social principles and traditional values of its multinational people. The norms of the Constitution are an integral element of the country’s national security, a legal guarantor of the preservation of state sovereignty, independent domestic and foreign policy, national and constitutional identity.
