Russian Statehood: Contemporary Political Views

Abstract

The demand for the study of Russian statehood is determined by the factors of further national state building. The article demonstrates the breadth of views and the range of discussion topics related to the transformation of statehood using specific combinations of existing statehood, principles, and rules for the exercise of sovereignty. The authors analyze examples of ambiguity and inconsistency of opinions about statehood as a phenomenon. The article identifies the main vectors for determining and clarifying the future positions and essences of Russian statehood in each historical period.
