The process of recreating commercial banks in the USSR in the late 1980s is analyzed, the content of the norms of the current Constitution of the Russian Federation of December 12, 1993, affecting the legal status of the Bank of Russia, as well as the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation in matters of legal regulation of banking activities. The author concluded that there is a legal conflict between paragraph “g” of Art. 71 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the provisions of the Federal Law of 02.12.1990 No. 395-1 “On Banks and Banking”. Thus, a variant of its elimination was proposed by enshrining the definitions of the concept of “federal bank”, which is referred to in Art. 71 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation in the current legislation. Attempts to develop proposals for further improvement of the legislation on the banking system of the Russian Federation are undertaken in the paper.
