Constitutions in almost all states have been introduced at various times, in bits and pieces and for the most part amidst violent political upheavals. The Russian Constitution will owe its inception not to the inflaming of passions and extremity of circumstance, but to the virtuous inspiration of the Supreme Authority, which, in ordering the political life of its people, is fully capable of endowing it with proper forms.M. M.SperanskyEvery attempt to introduce West European parliamentary forms of government into Russia is doomed to failure. If the tsarist regime is overthrown, its place will be taken by pure undisguised communism, the communism of Mr. Karl Marx who has just died in London and whose theories I have studied with attention and interest.D. A.TolstoyThe constitutional-reform movement in Russia passed through three stages of institutional development before its ultimate demise in revolution and civil war. In the first, occupying about a decade between the mid-1850s and the mid-1860s, the reform movement was concentrated in the corporate institutions of the landed gentry.

The article classifies and highlights three stages spanning the last hundred years – pre-Soviet, Soviet and post-Soviet, of research and mythol- ogization of the life and creation of P.Tychyna, using the example of studying the philosophical attitudes of his early work in the Ukrainian state, the Ukrainian SSR, Ukraine and abroad. The specifics of the formation of the mentioned stages during 1918 – 2019 were systematically considered on materials, including little-known, studies of more than fifty representatives of domestic and foreing tychynology, as well as a wide range of materi- als of the poetic, prosaic, scientific-journalistic and epistolary heritage of P. Tychyna and his contemporary colleagues. In the context of this review an attempt was made of critical interdisciplinary analysis – cultural and philosophical and literary, of the ideological foundations and the results of the modernist and postmodern mythologization of the early creativity of P. Tychyna as the leading creator and symbol of Ukrainian Modernist and Socialist-Realistic literature and, in general, cultural development. The article identifies three leading aspects of defining and studying the philosophical foundations of P. Tychyna's early work in the twentieth – early twenty first centuries: 1) the absence of the formulation and systematic development of the topic in P. Tychyna studies, except for the initial attempts at each of its stages, so far; 2) the narrow specialty of individual attempts at such research, first of all, almost entirely literary or linguistic, but not professional philosophical and cultural philosophical; 3) the dominant conditionality of the major achievements of almost all of these studies, mainly the Soviet period, the political environment of the development of national humanities and, as a consequence, the consistent isolationist-Soviet-anti-European mythology of P. Tychyna's creative figure and heritage. In view of this, the development of this topic in the context of an interdisciplinary, critically-demythologizing scientific search, formed in the contemporary P. Tychyna studies, has been identified as promising.

Abstract Of the 206 amendments introduced to the Russian constitution and adopted on July 1, 2020, 24 deal directly with the Constitutional Court, its organization, functioning, and the role it plays in the political system. Compared to many other, these are also rather precise and detailed, ranging from the number of judges on the bench, their nomination and dismissal, to the Court’s inner procedures, new locus standi limitations, and the primacy of the Constitution over Russia’s international obligations. Most changes only reproduce amendments brought to the secondary legislation over the last twenty years, and are therefore meant to preserve the status quo rather than change anything significantly. At the same time, a number of amendments aim at politicizing and instrumentalizing the Court for the president’s benefit, marking a significant departure from the previous institutional development.

      Almost all political vocabularies were neologisms.  The present study aimed to show the importance of neologisms in political language.  Neologisms are considered as the essential part of everyday speech.  So, the main goal is to show the reasons behind the creation of neologisms that have gained new senses through political, social, economic and cultural changes in society.  It points out the influence of political life upon culture and how culture helps politicians in producing political neologisms.  The study analyses these neologisms in order to give more understanding information about them.   The study concludes that people who work in the political field use neologisms to give a hidden message or to refer to the opposite of what they mean.

The article is devoted to the study of the role of the boyarwoman Marfa Boretskaya in the events of the 1470s, which led to the joining of the Novgorod Republic to Moscow. Almost all Russian historians of the 19-20th centuries believed that Marfa was the leader of the anti-Moscow “Lithuanian” party in Novgorod. The authors of the article think that such opinion is based on a non-critical assessment of sources - the Russian chronicles. We highlight three variants of narrative sources with the mention of Marfa Boretskaya: Novgorod, Moscow and Sofian. The Novgorod chronicles keep silent about Marfa's participation in the political life of Novgorod in the 1470s. The official Moscow chroniclers (the second version) believed that Marfa, along with her sons and other oppositionists, helped to agitate against the Moscow prince for the Polish king. Only the literary monument “Slovesa izbranna… (The Selected Words)” in the composition of the Sofia's first and related chronicles depicts Marfa as the leader of the Novgorod opposition to the great prince Ivan III (the third option). Sources do not reveal the real role of Marfa Boretskaya in the events of the 1470s.

In the period post Franco were created more favorable conditions for left parties, first of all for Communist party. However, «eurocommunists» leadership of the Communist party of Spain (KPI) led her to a deep crisis. The creation in January 1984 of the new Communist party of the people of Spain (PCPE), despite the difficulties of institutional development, the complicated financial situation, lack of personnel, became a significant factor in the national political field. After many years of political and ideological disarmament of the left forces in Spain appeared a party, acting with genuine class positions. At the same time, PCPE played the role of catalyst of processes oriented to shift to the left axis of the political life of the country. However, the current situation in the Spanish communist movement, the whole objective situation in Spain dictated the need for the unification of the communists. That goal was answered by the creation of a left electoral coalition «United left».
