Annotation: The political system is a multi-faceted category that has, among other things, a constitutional and legal dimension, due to which constitutional reforms, constitutional transformations, as a rule, generate changes in the political system. The constitutional reform in the Russian Federation in 2020 was no exception, in the course of the reform, all the components of the form of the Russian state have undergone changes. In the history of the Russian state changes in the political system have taken place more than once. Using traditional methodological tools, the article substantiates the conclusion that large-scale textual changes to the Constitution of the Russian Federation did not, however, lead to a radical transformation of the political system in general and the Russian state in particular, which had developed by the beginning of the reform. The main thing in understanding the political and legal essence of the state is not the constitutional consolidation of certain characteristics of the state, but the real mechanisms of power, the interaction of the state with society, citizens.
