“…38 Evidence for this claim abounds but perhaps the clinching pieces are: (1) the Court was on the losing side over the constitutional struggle and (2) Zorkin acknowledged publicly the popular support the President enjoyed for his position. 39 For more on the positions of the key actors over Federalism, see Sharlet (1994); Walker (1993Walker ( , 1995. Note, though, the difference between the 1992-93 and 1995-96 tolerance intervals over Federalism.…”

What role do courts play in the establishment and maintenance of constitutional democracies? To address this question, we elaborate a model that draws on existing substantive literature and on theories that assume strategic behavior on the part of judges, executives, and legislatures. This model, in turn, leads to several behavioral predictions about the interactions among the relevant political actors. Although those predictions could be assessed in many distinct contexts, we focus on Russia. In particular, we provide a demonstration of how the model helps make sense of the behavior of the Constitutional Court (Konstitucjonnyj sud) in light of the difficult political situation it confronted. We conclude with some thoughts on the broader implications of our theory for the study of courts throughout Eastern Europe and how it may well illuminate constitutional politics in other parts of the world.

“…Numerous problems continue with making the 1993 Constitution Downloaded by [University of Chicago Library] at 04:37 19 November 2014 workable, perhaps most immediate has been that of establishing the requisite enabling legislation, 58 proceeding apace, to be sure, but slowly and within a framework of other political issues that may well at some point call for substantial modification. These issues include, but are not limited to, the subsequent proliferation of bi-lateral treaties, 59 the uncertain status of Chechnya, the historically fluid character of ethnic consciousness and unpredictable character of its politicization, an apparently widening economic gap among regions, and perhaps other unforeseen factors.…”

“…Much attention has been paid to the general description of the constitutional foundations of the post-Soviet development of Russia (Sharlet, 1993;Ordeshook, 1997;Clark, 1998;Henderson, 2011). Special consideration has been paid to the themes of constitution and the presidency, the interaction of religion and state, federal structure, and constitutional review (Brzezinski, 1993;Sharlet, 1994;Fogelklou, 2003;Scheppele, 2003;Basil, 2009;Flere, Lavrič, Djordjevič, 2016). Additionally, there are works on the comparative analysis of concepts, rhetoric and genre of the Soviet and modern Russian constitutions (Ruutu, 2010;Schmid, 2010).…”
