From History to Identity: The Dynamics of Identitarian Constitutionalism in Russia

Fedor Arkhipov

This article explores constitutional identity in contemporary Russia, emphasizing the interplay of historical memory, internal ethnic and cultural diversity, and international influence in shaping the country’s legal and political framework. Through an analysis of Russian constitutional law, it examines how these factors affect both domestic governance and Russia’s engagement in regional and global affairs. The study highlights the role of diverse communities in shaping political and legal norms and underscores the ongoing negotiation between national priorities and external expectations. Despite challenges, Russia’s reflective approach to its history and social complexities signals a positive trajectory for its constitutional development.
