ABSTRACT

The political philosophy of Russian constitutionalism is an integral system of views on society and state at large, as applied to Russia, in particular. The philosophy can be adequately interpreted within the framework of a broader socio-political system in which it emerged and developed as an independent social institute and a sort of stabilizing factor. This allows one to better understand the nature of the Russian constitutionalism and the prospects of its development. 1 The political philosophy of Russian constitutionalism of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century is viewed as a philosophical and political paradigm that interpreted in a comparative perspective the relationship between the state and society existing at that time.
