Talk:Constitution of Russia

Judiciary Provision
This section seems inappropriately stocked with information about human rights violations and modern Russians' perceptions of how justice is executed. None of this is within the scope of the article. Similar articles for other nations' constitutions, even nations known for human rights violations and governmental strife, do not contain this sort of information. Recommend moving these statements into a more appropriate article or removing them altogether. 198.179.125.170 (talk) 17:10, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

Who wrote it?
This topic is in need of pretty radical expanision as well... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.9.203.140 (talk) 22:09, 15 September 2009 (UTC) If you know about this, please add info on who were the main people who wrote it and what do we know about their goals and concepts during the process. (Maybe from the Russian Wikipedia? Unfortunately I can't read Russian.) -- 212.63.43.180 (talk) 13:54, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

USAID (banned in Russia in 2012) wrote Russian constitution and its main concepts. The agency used misleading wordings to take sovereignty away from Russia in order to inconspicuously control all government institutions and to create an economy in Russia that would be silently paying out huge amounts of money to support US economy and certain individuals in power in the USA.

 * The text of the Constitution is a product of collaboration of many different people. However, Sergey Shakhray, Sergey Alexeyev, and Anatoly Sobchak were considered to be the leaders of the collaboration process and the authors of the draft.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 14:33, June 15, 2009 (UTC)

this article does not flow well, and is in need of revision Ottawakismet (talk) 16:37, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

A large portion of this Wikipedia entry plagiarizes from my article William Partlett, The Dangers of Popular Constitution-Making. Available for download at http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1924958.

Can you please fix or attribute!! Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.59.180.157 (talk) 21:16, 7 November 2013 (UTC)


 * I am very sorry that this has happened, and taken so long to fix, Mr Partlett. --Mkativerata (talk) 11:49, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Russian law question: On what date did Crimea become legally Russian territory?
Could persons knowledgeable on Russian law kindly help answer the above question. One editor says it was from when the accession treaty was signed; another editor says it was from when the accession treaty was ratified. Input requested at Talk:Republic of Crimea (country). Thanks.

Constitution of Russian Federation
Constitution of Russian Federation not Constitution of Russia — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.72.163.224 (talk • contribs) 22:59, 26 June 2014


 * Thanks for your input, but this would fall under commonly named articles. KarstenO (talk) 16:24, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Constitution of Russia would maybe fall under Misnamed articles in the English Wikipedia? Derianus (talk) 01:58, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Which part do you think is "misnamed"?—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); October 17, 2014 ; 12:00 (UTC)
 * The part that differs. Derianus (talk) 02:31, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
 * This is where you are expected to point out the parts that differ, which one should be considered "misnamed", and why :) I can't read minds.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); October 20, 2014 ; 14:30 (UTC)

Changing DMY to MDY
Could User:Ezhiki explain why he changed the dates to MDY for this article which used to be DMY ? Derianus (talk) 02:29, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
 * WP:DATERET. The first non-stub version used mdy.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); October 20, 2014 ; 11:57 (UTC)

Inconsistency in styles
I find it kind of bizarre how the lead uses DMY date formats (e.g. 12 December 1993 as the date of the referendum), while the infobox uses MDY and the article uses British English and in the UK DMY formats are used. So, I must admit I'm confused. Surely, we can reach a consensus which to go with and stick with it. Fuse809 (contribs · email · talk · uploads) 21:52, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
