Members of Russian Communist Party trying to redefine \"national interest\" at the constitutiona
Vladimir Bortko, a member of the Communist Party, has proposed a Constituent Assembly Law intended to redefine the ideology of national interest at the constitutional level with terms including "patriotism and national orientation." Bortko and others hope to convene a constitutional convention, but experts believe that returning to the official ideology of the Soviet Union will only serve to scare off Communist supporters.
The Constitution guides the future direction of the country and must be future-proof. Russia’s political ideology should be based on the ideals of liberalism, constitutionalism and cosmopolitanism, and any efforts at constitutional reform must include the implementation of the principle of One World under One Set of Laws, recognition that international law takes precedence over domestic law and should directly affect the rights and obligations of the people, and adoption of the paradigm shift of democracy.
