Последняя доработка проекта Конституции РФ: условия имеют значение

Krasnov M.

The article is devoted to the analysis of amendments and additions made in October-November 1993 to the draft Constitution of the Russian Federation, approved by the Constitutional Conference. Russian President Boris Yeltsin proposed to combine this project with the draft of the Constitutional Commission of the Congress of People’s Deputies of the RSFSR (RF). But after the events of early October 1993, the President recognised only one draft as the basis of the future Constitution, which was approved by the Constitutional Conference, but he instructed it to be finalised. Quite a lot of amendments were made to the draft (according to the author’s calculations, in more than 70% of articles), including stylistic, terminological, structural, etc., only the most significant changes are analysed. Some of them improved on the previous version. But amendments were also made, further deepening the imbalance in the system of public power. The author concludes that this was largely the result of the absence of political opponents during the 
last revision of the constitutional draft.
