Abstract

This article analyzes the views that exist in legal and political scientific literature on the development of federal relations in Russia during drafting the Constitution 1993 and after its adoption. The main issues in the article are to determine at what stage of the development of the federalism our state is, what trends are inherent in this stage. Without solving these issues it is impossible to fully realize a number of important tasks that legislative authorities of the Federation and of its subjects face. The article concludes that modern Russian federalism is not a finally established model of political and legal relations between the center and the subjects of the Russian Federation. It is proposed to characterize the current status of federal relations as the period of ongoing reforms towards the optimization of relations between federal and regional levels of state power.
