Interaction of the system of national and international law of the Russian Federation in the light of the adoption of constitutional amendments

The interaction of the norms of national and international law is a matter of undoubted relevance. Modern integration processes do not leave states aside, involving them in the global network of interaction. Relations between participants in international relations are regulated by certain rules-principles, one of which is pacta sunt servanda (agreements must be fulfilled), establishing the need to implement those conditions that are provided for in a specific document. The subject of this study is the changes in the vector of relations between the Russian state and the European Court of Human Rights in the light of the adoption of constitutional amendments in July 2020. The evolution of the interaction of two mechanisms – national and supranational law – is considered in the light of the development of the integration dialogue between the Russian Federation and the ECHR from the moment our country ratified the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Freedoms (Rome Convention of 1950) until July 2020. The position of the Chairman of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation V.D. Zorkin is analyzed in the format of the formulated doctrine of national constitutional identity, which determines the position of the Constitutional Court when considering decisions made by the European Court against the Russian state. The novelty of the article lies in the fact that it provides for the first time a comprehensive analysis of the problem of interaction between two legal systems (international and national law) in light of the adoption of constitutional amendments and the Federal Law of 09.11.2020 No. 365-FZ "On Amendments to the Federal Law "On Security". As a result of the study, it can be concluded that the change in the foreign policy rhetoric of the Russian state has become a natural stage in the development of the country in the post-Soviet space, and the introduction of amendments to the Constitution and the Federal Law only consolidated the established practice of relations, the beginning of which was laid by the adoption of the Constitutional Court Resolution of 14.07.2015 No. 21-P.
