Constitutional Spiritual and Moral Values of Russia: Reflections on the Text of the Constitution of the Russian Federation
( Pp. 13-16)

The article deals with the issues of spiritual and moral values in the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The purpose of the article is to analyze the spiritual and moral values of Russia and their reflection in the basic law of the state, taking into account the amendments made in 2020. An analysis of the amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 2020 allowed the author to conclude that there are contradictions between individual norms of the country's basic law, and therefore in the absence of continuity of spiritual and moral values among domestic political elites, in their understanding of the national idea of Russia. It is noted that Article 14 of the Constitution of Russia, which enshrines the principle of the secularity of the state, contradicts part 2 of Article 67.1 on God. The author came to the conclusion that the Constitution of the Russian Federation should consolidate ideological diversity in the presence of state ideology and a ban on aggressive ideologies. It is concluded that the amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation will not strengthen the spiritual and moral values of the Russian society, if these issues are not dealt with by the best representatives of the political, scientific and spiritual elite of the state. Only people who have knowledge of the customs and traditions of their people and a high legal culture can realize the cultural function of the state. In the process of further work on the text of the Constitution of Russia, it is necessary to take into account more not the world experience, but the Russian one, analyzed in the works of the classics of domestic political and legal thought. The absence of a unifying Russian idea is noted and the ways of its formation are proposed.
