Abstract
The article analyzes the dynamics of moral imperatives of Russian constitutionalism as moral principles or rules, categorical requirements, commandments or norms, according to which the multinational people of Russia build their way of life. The article argues the need to overcome the moral neutrality of public power, enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 1993. Particular attention is paid to the change in moral imperatives after the reform of the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 2020. Namely, the love for the Fatherland, based on patriotic education, preservation of the memory of ancestors who passed on to us ideals and faith in God, on the protection of historical truth and all-Russian cultural identity; recognition of continuity in the development of the Russian state; reliance in social development on traditional spiritual and moral values.
