Critical analysis of the law-making paradigm of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation

The constitutional control of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation is aimed, to a certain extent, at creating (temporary) legal norms. Law-making in itself is not the basis for the activity of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, however, at the same time it is hardly possible not to recognize the existence of a special function for the creation of law for the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation. This function of constitutional justice is implemented in practice through the prism of constitutional control. At the same time, approaches to determining the powers and functions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation on this issue differ significantly from each other. Based on this, the subject of the study is the decisions and legal positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, which have an impact on the Russian legal order. The research methods used are logical, comparative legal, formal legal, hermeneutic and empirical methods of cognition. The discussion on the role and significance of the law-making function of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation is far from over, and assessments of such activities of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation vary from radical to conservative. The author concludes that the law-making function of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation is a secondary function of the Russian judicial review body, it is not the necessary role of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation. At the same time, the processes of constitutionalization and, in particular, the creation of temporary legal norm by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation affect the Russian legal system.
