Anti-sanction federalism

Abstract

In recent years, the process of giving the heads of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation additional powers to overcome the consequences of emergency situations (such as the pandemic of the new coronavirus infection COVID‑19 or the introduction of illegal (“sanctions”) restrictive economic measures against the Russian Federation) has been actively developing. This allotment, in particular, was carried out by Presidential Ukases No. 239 of April 2, 2020 and No. 121 of March 16, 2022. The author believes that the trend indicated by them is a new one in the development of Russian federalism. At the same time, it should be noted that the measures taken in 2022 to ensure socio-economic stability were not limited to expanding the rights of the heads of the subjects of the Russian Federation, but also provided for a number of other measures that change the design of the system of relations between the federal center and the subjects of the Russian Federation. The article analyzes the content of the above-mentioned measures and activities from the perspective of the theory of state functions, they are regarded as manifestations of the dynamics of the federal function of the state.
