Abstract

The article presents a state analysis of the Russian Federation Presidential Decree N1400 "On the phased constitutional reform in the Russian Federation", adopted by the President in a chaotic situation in 1993. The purpose of the study is to clarify the legitimacy of the Presidential Decree N1400. The author proposes to assess the legitimacy of the Presidential Decree N1400 not from the point of view of the Constitution adopted in the Soviet era, but from the point of view of compliance with state-protective constitutional principles (the doctrine of the development of law contra constitutionem) and the laws of the relationship between old and new legal orders in the conditions of successful revolutions.
