metadata.value: On December 10, 2019, the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation issued Decision
  № 39-P, and in his opinion, judge Aranovskii described the USSR as an “illegitimately established
  state” and called for Russia not to be considered the legal successor of the USSR.
  Thus, judge Aranovskii touched upon the sphere of State succession, the regulation of which
  is related to international law and not to constitutional law. In particular, Aranovskii raised
  such problems as the legality of succession. Relevant provisions on legality are also included
  in existing international treaties on the succession of states, such as the 1978 Vienna Convention
  on the succession of states in respect to treaties and the 1983 Vienna Convention on the
  succession of states in respect to state property, state archives, and public debts, as well as
  Articles on the nationality of natural persons in relation to the succession of states. The issue
  of the legality of state succession was also highlighted in the second report on the issue of state
  succession in respect of responsibility for internationally wrongful acts by the International Law Commission Special Rapporteur Pavel Šturma. Research on this issue is important because
  the provisions on Russia as the legal successor to the USSR were proposed as one of the
  amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, which will be approved by the
  Russian people in an all-Russian vote. In order to make a legal assessment of the legality of
  state succession, it is important to analyse the history of the relevant provisions in existing international
  treaties, as well as to analyse the relevant international legal practice on this issue.
  This research will assess the reasonableness of both the opinion of judge Aranovskii and the
  corresponding amendment to the Constitution of the Russian Federation.
