Abstract

The article analyzes changes introduced to the current Russian legislation after the constitutional amendments adopted in 2020. The analysis is conducted in relation to the previously issued rulings of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation concerning several isolated aspects of organization and implementation of the uniform public authority system in the Russian Federation. Upon thorough study of the Federal Law “On the federal territory “Sirius” No. 437-FL of 22 December 2020, as well as of the draft bill “On general principles of organization of public authority in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation” authors outline arising questions and, more specifically, possible difficulties in organization and implementation of the public authority in the federal territories of the Russian Federation.
