metadata.value: Turning to law enforcement practice has been and remains an important component of the
  activities of the Russian Constitutional Court. At the first stage of the history of the Russian judicial constitutional control — during the period of the Constitution (Basic Law) of the Russian
  Federation — Russia of 1978 and the RSFSR Law of July 12, 1991 No. 1599-I “On the Constitutional
  Court of the RSFSR” — consideration of cases on checking the constitutionality of
  law enforcement practice was separate authority of the Constitutional Court. In these conditions,
  law enforcement practice was the direct object of judicial constitutional review. With the
  adoption of the Constitution of the Russian Federation of 1993 and the Federal Constitutional
  Law of July 21, 1994 No. 1-FKZ “On the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation”, the
  verification of the constitutionality of law enforcement practice was excluded from the competence
  of the Constitutional Court. At present, the Constitutional Court, while checking the
  constitutionality of legal acts, actively uses law enforcement practice as one of the means of
  establishing the meaning of the contested acts. The article shows that the Constitutional Court
  is constantly faces with the problems of defining the concept of law enforcement practice,
  which can receive different content in different situations. The question of the criteria under
  which law enforcement practice should be recognized as established is also unclear. Nevertheless,
  the importance of law enforcement practice for the activities of the Constitutional Court
  is generally increasing, which is confirmed, among other things, by the amendments made to
  the Federal Constitutional Law “On the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation” in
  2020. The conclusion is substantiated that the appeal to law enforcement practice contributes
  to the adoption of more motivated and balanced decisions by the Constitutional Court.
