Abstract

The period from the moment of the formation of the Soviet state to the adoption of the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 1993 is conditionally transitional: the federation had already been proclaimed, but the real powers of the regions were acquired and finally formed only seventy years later. The scope of these powers changed during the existence of the Russian Federation, but the basis for the formation of the competence of the regions was laid precisely in the previous stages of the development of federalism. The final result that we now have is determined by the legal axioms that were created in Soviet times and during the preparation of the 1993 Constitution of the Russian Federation.
