Features of the system of separation of powers in modern Russia during the constitutional reform
Separation of powers is an essential tool of democracy. The separation of powers creates the necessary balance between the existing authorities in the country and important conditions for the interaction of the state and society. Article 10 of the current Constitution of the Russian Federation enshrines the provision that state power in our country is exercised on the basis of separation into the legislative, executive and judicial branches of government. The norms of the Russian Constitution establish a mechanism for guaranteeing the independence of each of the branches of government and independence in the exercise of their powers. The principle of separation of powers into corresponding branches is applied in the organization of the activities of not only federal authorities, but also authorities in the regions of our country. The article attempts a scientific understanding of the existing problems of the system of separation of powers and checks and balances in modern Russia, which were preserved and created during the constitutional reform after the amendments to the Constitution in 2020. The authors express the point of view that there is a need for balance between the branches of government, for the more effective functioning of the mechanism of state power and the state apparatus.
