N2  - "'Her scholarship is consistently thorough and lucid, and absolutely reliable. Henderson is therefore the perfect contributor on the Russian Constitution for the series 'Constitutional Systems of the World'' Bill Bowring, European Public Law As reviews of the first edition attest to, this book gives a unique critical and contextual insight into one of the world's most powerful country's constitutions. Its first edition was published in 2011, when Dmitrii Medvedev was Russia's President. Since then there has been a regime change in 2012 with the return of President Vladimir Putin. Though there have been some significant changes to the Constitution's text which the book explores, more importantly there have been dramatic shifts in its interpretation and application as Russia pursues 'traditional values'. This second edition situates these important changes in the context of Russia's historical and legal development, as Putin continues to overshadow the political scene. It also looks at the broader constitutional questions on structure, role of the courts, constitutional rights and their enforcement."
