Abstract

Based on the analysis of a wide range of sources, the article presents the author's position regarding the trends associated with the evolution of legal regulation of the power of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation to verify normative acts in connection with the requests of the courts. The author builds a logical chain of reasoning, which includes a description of the changes that have occurred in the regulation of the institution under study, the definition of the corresponding positive and negative consequences of such changes based on dialectical methodology. Conclusions are drawn about the consistent implementation by the legislator of the approach to the request of the court to the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation as a tool for ensuring constitutional impact on judicial law enforcement. At the same time, the point of view is substantiated that the federal legislator entrusts the institution under consideration with the task of overcoming potential conflicts between national and international justice in the interpretation and protection of fundamental human rights and freedoms.
