Amending the Constitution is a process, an outlined vector, and not at all a point set by a vote count. We are talking about the great work of the country and society, which remains to be done. Therefore, the simple answer to the question is: what amendments will change, why were they needed, couldn’t everything go by itself? Nothing will change if the country does not get involved in this work, but will skid infantilely in one place.

In fact, we received a call coming from the authorities, backed up by the response of society: let's build a human country, develop and develop it. A sovereign country, free from any possibility of dictate from the outside. This is the overcoming of the imposed inferiority complex and the second-grade stigma in comparison with “civilized” countries, as well as a return to self-awareness as a self-sufficient civilization. Return to yourself.

After the chaos in Russia on the ruins of the 1990s, the foundation was created for the progressive upward movement. Now a step has been taken to start. In a complex discussion, a fierce discussion between the hereditary from the 1990s hyperpragmatic spirit of wild capitalism with the primacy of profit at all costs and the construction of a social, human-centered state. No wonder they again spoke of a man of labor. After all, we need to work, build, and, thus, build the succession and continuity of thousands of years of Russian history.

Speaking of history, it should be noted that changes in the Constitution have drawn the final line under the 1990s. Moreover, not through complete denial, extinction and oblivion, but through correction, cure. This is also our story, and it is impossible with a surgical scalpel - otherwise there can be no talk of any continuity.

It is well known how new realities entered at that time, crossing out everything before, how and after what blood the Constitution was adopted then, what scope, including which it opened up for chaos of lawlessness. Therefore, now a different approach was extremely important, a different path that did not leave even a hint of previous methods. Yes, and now there were many passions and an increased emotional background, but what is this compared to those Moscow rivers of blood and tank volleys that hit the parliament and crossed out any hint of the idea of ​​democracy? ..

Now people are fighting in social networks, not on the streets, they are not shooting at the parliament, but, on the contrary, he, having passed the maturity test, gets new, expanded powers.

In the current debate battles, they came up with the noisy slogan "Zeroing." Yes, the nullification of everything decaying, destructive, any hint of a split that has dragged on for many years and could at any moment manifest itself in new chaos. Therefore, the drawback. Therefore, we are not talking about a new perestroika, not about a revolution, not about trying to clean everything up under the ground in order to try the experiment from scratch, but rather about restoration, about the likeness of transformation or “social regeneration”, about which at one time much was written by Russian thinker Alexander Zinoviev.

Here, the line is the fulcrum for the start, because editing the basic law is a question of the architectural solution of the future.

And not newfangled, not modernist, not in the spirit of European-quality repair or other lures, but primordial. This is a continuation of the construction of the house of domestic civilization.

Fuses against temptations, wanderings and opportunities to stumble along the way are registered in its contours. First of all, there is an emphasis on the impossibility of external control and dictatorship, the primacy of sovereignty is affirmed, but not as a right to arbitrariness, but as an affirmation of one's own solvency. We are talking about an unshakable right to one’s sovereign voice, one’s own point of view, position and truth. And not only in politics, but also in the same historical plane, where we also need to defend our own. Defend the very “Russian truth” about the Great War, which was set out in a recent article by President Vladimir Putin.

Defend your space. Here, of course, we are talking about the inviolability of borders and the inalienability of their own territories - a limiter for any possibility of territorial bargaining, and yet conversations on this subject have been raised on a public plane.

Constitutional changes are also upholding of own system of values, domestic axiology. Especially mindful of the fact that until recently all this turned inside out, indulged in ridicule and lies. And here the words of Vasily Shukshin are memorable. They are not prescribed in the Constitution, but now they say between the lines: “Believe that everything was not in vain: our songs, our fairy tales, our incredible severity of victory, our suffering - do not give all this for a sniff of tobacco. We knew how to live. Remember this. Be human".

We are talking about this same upholding of their people and family. Through social obligations, but not only. Therefore, a point appeared about the educational function of education, which we almost forgot about in a tough debate with a hyper-pragmatic approach. Parenting is not only caring for a person, but also a battle for him, so many “fishers of people" have appeared recently, which are more and more like the notorious comprachicos ...

Amending the Constitution is also a new opportunity for a country that is no longer hobbled in all respects, including external influences, as well as long-standing decay inertia. By the way, the speaker of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin said this.

According to the head of the lower house of the Russian parliament, through constitutional changes, the country receives a “new impetus for development”. This will give "the beginning of a new stage in the country's development at a different level, at the level of completely different standards of life, quality and medicine, and social issues."

If we talk about the State Duma, then it receives not only new powers (and therefore, an increased status), but also a large front of work.

Now, for the development of constitutional amendments, she needs to pass a larger number of new laws. And this is not just law-making activity as a thing in itself. It is imperative that society and concrete people feel this work and change.

The vector for strengthening the parliament is symbolic. And in the context of those same tank salvos, after which the current Constitution was adopted, and also in the sense that it is a bridge between the government and society, which is now invited to do a lot of work to develop the country with a toolbox of new opportunities.

This “new quality” of power, which Volodin speaks about, also gives the necessary impetus for the rapprochement of society and power, the ability to overcome the elements of alienation, mistrust and nihilism.

For example, we must recall the same Alexander Zinoviev, who spoke about the perestroika years, that "it was enough to weaken the system of statehood, as the country began to crumble."

In the era of disintegration, the main attacks were directed precisely at the state system, at the bureaucratic apparatus of the Soviet system. He was declared the source and culprit of all ills, almost the direct heir to mass repressions. Therefore, there is no other way but to break it to the ground and clean it up. In this emotional outburst, almost everyone forgot that without this apparatus there would be no state. He was also not very sad. The echo of this has sounded so far, as well as the danger of another destructive perestroika vortex. Now we have new opportunities in this regard: in the cooperation of the authorities and society. Now we are not destroying, but building.
