This project will examine the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and its role in the protection of the rights of citizens. Since 1992, tens of thousands of Russian citizens have filed petitions, asking the court to assist them in realizing their constitutionally guaranteed rights. In a typical year, the court gets more than 10,000 such petitions. While many fall outside court's jurisdiction, about half of the petitions raise a constitutional question that merits further analysis. And while the court answers few of these petitions through formal published decisions on the merits, the court answers every letter, trying to clarify petitioners' legal rights on a one-to-one basis or assisting in defining the petitioners' legal options without rendering a formal decision. The principal investigator will study this developing dialogue about rights by drawing a sample of petitions and examining the claims that petitioners have made, as well as the court's responses. By studying this interaction over the last ten years, this research will trace the emergence of constitutional consciousness in Russia in its first post-soviet decade.

该项目将审查俄罗斯联邦宪法法院及其在保护公民权利方面的作用。自1992年以来，数以万计的俄罗斯公民提出请愿，要求法院协助他们实现宪法保障的权利。通常情况下，法院每年会收到超过 10,000 份此类请愿书。虽然许多请愿书不属于法院的管辖范围，但大约一半的请愿书提出了值得进一步分析的宪法问题。虽然法院很少通过正式公布的案情判决来答复这些请愿书，但法院会回复每一封信，试图一对一地澄清请愿者的合法权利，或在不做出正式决定的情况下协助确定请愿者的法律选择。首席调查员将通过抽取请愿样本并审查请愿者提出的主张以及法院的回应来研究这一不断发展的权利对话。通过研究过去十年的这种相互作用，本研究将追溯俄罗斯后苏联第一个十年宪法意识的出现。
