The Russian state on the eve of the 21st century: transformation of power

Historical and legal analysis of the period of national history between 1991 and 2000 allows us to reveal the problems of the modern state as a whole. Throughout the 20th century, Russia has undergone many radical metamorphoses on a complicated up-and-down path. The collapse of the empire, and then the USSR predetermined a certain fatality of state-legal dynamics, on the one hand, and consigned to oblivion a whole layer of state-legal experience in a civilizational sense, on the other hand. The emergence of the Russian Federation as a sovereign subject that restored its legal identity in geopolitics and international relations once again marked the emergence of innovations and the beginning of reforms, which, in turn, was expressed primarily in the transformation of state power.
