The article examines the constitutional characteristics of the Russian state after the constitutional reform of 2020. The author puts forward arguments in support of the position that the Russian Federation continues to be a legal democratic state even after amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation. It is concluded that the amendments have not changed or eroded the foundations of the constitutional system. The Russian Federation can be considered a benchmark for the countries of the united West that call themselves democratic, who have abandoned the rule of law, the multipolar world, the free and democratic development of other countries that are not part of it, who have staked on dictatorship and the forceful solution of urgent problems of world development, regardless of the generally recognized principles and norms of international law.
