The purpose of this paper is to check how the rule of law principle is interpreted in the constitutional case law of the Central and Eastern European Members of the European Union. The goal of this research is twofold. First, these are countries that have experienced a communist past, during which the conception of the rule of law, although not absent, assumed different contents compared to those typical of the Western legal tradition. Second, a survey on the jurisprudential interpretation of the main constitutional values, in this case the rule of law, helps to clarify the cultural and value context of these countries. Considering the heavy rule of law crisis, which took place in Hungary and Poland in recent years, this recognition is particularly important in order to avoid cumulative judgments that could devalue the former communist countries in general, trivializing the harsh path of democratic conditionality that has assisted them in the European application process. ; Подвергается анализу принцип верховенства права в конституционной юриспруденции государств Центральной и Восточной Европы, входящих в Европейский союз. Расcматриваются страны, пережившие коммунистическое прошлое, в ходе которого концепция верховенства права приобретала отличное от западноевропейской правовой традиции содержание. Исследование правового толкования основных конституционных ценностей, в данном случае – верховенства права, помогает прояснить культурный и ценностный контекст этих стран. Тяжелый кризис верховенства права имел место в Венгрии и Польше в последние годы, потому этот обзор особенно важен для того, чтобы избежать общих суждений, которые могут привести к девальвации бывших коммунистических стран в целом и упростить путь демократической условности, которая помогла им в процессе подачи заявок для вступления в Европейский союз.

The contribution takes stock of the intense legislative activity occurred in the last year in Russia. This has taken place against the background of a "frozen" political regime which is deeply concerned about the activity of "non-systemic" opposition and "foreign agents", and increasingly aggressive in international relations. ; The contribution takes stock of the intense legislative activity occurred in the last year in Russia.

The paper analyses one of the hot topics of the constitutional debate in Europe, that is democratic backslidings in some new EU Members States. Although many works in the international literature have been devoted to this subject, a general analysis of the political and constitutional causes of this regression is lacking. It is therefore necessary to analyze the characteristics of the transition to democracy; the EU "rule of law" mechanisms and their failure, including the failure of the system of democratic conditionality; the cultural and constitutional framework of the new EU Member States, including some defects in their constitutional engineering. = Рассматривается одна из горячих тем конституционной дискуссии в Европе, а именно демократический кризис в некоторых новых государствах – членах Европейского союза. Несмотря на то что в международной литературе этому вопросу посвящено много работ, общий анализ политических и конституционных причин этого кризиса отсутствует. Исследуются характеристики перехода к демократии; механизмы защиты правового государства в ЕС и их неудачи, включая недостаточность системы демократической обусловленности; культурный и конституционный контекст новых стран – членов ЕС, в том числе некоторые дефекты в их конституционной инженерии.

This volume addresses, in a broad comparative perspective, the constitutional development of the countries of Central-Eastern, Baltic and Balkan Europe. Through an in-depth historical and political analysis, the co-authors examine the most recent constitutional dynamics of these countries, focusing in particular on the path followed after the collapse of their respective socialist regimes. A large number of countries is examined which demonstrates the complexity of this area in terms of state-building. The authors analyse in detail the various constitutions, with a focus on the debate that took place in the constituent assemblies and the influence of European democratic conditionality. The authors also examine the respective bills of rights especially with regard to their enforcement and protection. Finally, it should be noted that systems of government, territorial decentralization and constitutional justice are also the object of attention
