Конституционные (уставные) советы субъектов Российской Федерации: в поисках статуса
The article examines the latest reform of regional constitutional justice. The authors note some similarities in the legal status of constitutional (charter) councils operating under the legislative (representative) bodies of state power of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation with the status of bodies formed in accordance with the French version of the European model of constitutional control. The study examines the genesis of the modern institute of constitutional control in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. As a conclusion, the thesis is postulated that constitutional (charter) councils are the result of the regional legislatures’ return to the institution of constitutional supervision committees that arose in the late Soviet era.
