конституция
/konstitutsiya/Roman
English meaning: Constitution
Definition
The supreme law of a state establishing the structure of government and fundamental rights. Russia's 1993 Constitution — adopted after the dissolution of the USSR — established a federal presidential republic. The 2020 constitutional amendments allowed Putin to potentially remain in power until 2036, making Russia a key case study in constitutional manipulation for democratic backsliding.
Example
“Конституция России 1993 года была принята после распада СССР.”
In English: “Russia's 1993 Constitution was adopted after the dissolution of the USSR.”
Literary Heritage
“Трусость — это самый страшный порок.”
/Trusost' — eto samyy strashnyy porok./
“Cowardice is the greatest vice.”
