The Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation is the highest judicial body responsible for constitutional review in Russia. It plays a central role in ensuring that the Constitution of the Russian Federation remains the supreme law of the land. Established under the Constitution of 1993, the Court functions independently and is entrusted with safeguarding constitutional order, protecting fundamental rights and freedoms, and maintaining the balance of power among different branches of government. Within the administrative system of the BRICS nations, the Constitutional Court represents Russia's mechanism for constitutional oversight and judicial control over governmental actions. The Court traces its origins to the Constitutional Court of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, established in 1991. Following the adoption of the 1993 Constitution, it was reconstituted with expanded powers and responsibilities. It serves as a constitutional guardian by ensuring that federal and regional authorities comply with constitutional provisions. The Constitutional Court consists of judges appointed through a constitutional procedure. Judges are nominated by the President of the Russian Federation and appointed by the Federation Council. They are selected from among highly qualified legal professionals with extensive experience and an impeccable reputation. The appointment process is intended to ensure competence, independence, and impartiality in constitutional adjudication.
