Abstract

In the context of the constitutional law of Russia, the problem of interpreting the Constitution has traditionally been reduced to different views on it as a written document with a special political and legal status. In different periods of Russian history, the Constitution was perceived differently, which was reflected in different understandings of the relationship between the Constitution and the state, the Constitution and legislation, the constitution and human rights. One of the important aspects for the interpretation of the constitution was the interaction between the Constitution and constitutionalism, as well as state and constitutional law. Within the framework of this problem, the object is the phenomenon of constitutional legal understanding, considered as a theoretical and praxiological construction that combines scientific views and empirical ideas reflecting the formal and substantive features of the Constitution and constitutional law at different stages of the development of the legal system of Russia. The article explores the problem of legal understanding and law understanding in the domestic legal tradition, the understanding of the Constitution in the context of cyclical politogenesis, as well as the problem of constitutional law understanding in the context of the concept of a «living» Constitution.
