The role of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation in ensuring the principles of equality and justice.

The article examines the role of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation in the interpretation and practical implementation of the constitutional principles of equality and justice. The article argues that, due to the abstract nature of constitutional norms, it is the Court’s jurisprudence that provides their normative content and operational meaning. Based on an analysis of the Court's decisions from 1995 to 2025, the study identifies three levels of legal reasoning: direct reference to constitutional provisions, contextual interpretation of principles, and axiological transformation of legal norms. The principle of justice is shown to act not merely as a declarative ideal but as a functional instrument of legal correction and value-based assessment. The article concludes that the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation plays a key doctrinal role in shaping justice as a substantive legal standard within the Russian constitutional order.
