Annotation: The article describes the political relations arising during the transition from the Soviet (socialist) to the Russian (democratic) system based on the 1977 USSR Constitution and 1993 RF Constitution. Structural and functional changes in constitutional law in our country led to the fact that the “political space” began to be actively used to commit anti-state actions, in particular, for the spread of Western ideologies and morality. A comparative analysis of the historical and current state of the political system in Russia is provided in the scientific article, as well the formative and meaningful signs of the evolution of the constitutional mechanism are outlined. The author analyzed the constitutional practice on the issue under consideration: the main components of the transformed political system of the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation (sources of power, the head of state, the highest legislative, executive and judicial power, federal structure) are considered, similar (hereditary) features and characteristics of each of them are identified.
