Abstract

The research contains the analysis of the axiological core of contemporary Russian constitutionalism as a complicated socio-cultural phenomenon providing for fundamentals of the legal environment of constitutional governance in this country. It is stated in the research that the currently visible constitutional crisis in Russia is mainly connected with the existence of a gap between the formal constitutional provisions and the real social practices. Author makes the conclusion that all the needed improvements of the contemporary Russian constitutionalism could not be reached merely by revising the 1993 Russian Constitution. Contrarily, the process of formation of value-enriched fundamentals and constitutionality of law-making and law-implementation spheres is to be founded on the basis of moral consciousness of Russian people which is able to be a source of achieving of the social solidarity, revival of a trust between people and government, maintain a firm ground for a complete implementation of constitutional ideas and become a starting point for the whole legal modernization of Russia.
