The death penalty. The contre force of Russian constitutional identity and international legal obligations

Purpose is to study the influence of Russian and international principles, rules of law, constitutional values on the refusal to use the death penalty in modern Russia. Historical-legal and formal-legal methods were used. The refusal to impose death sentences in the Russian Federation is conditioned not only by the adoption of international obligations but also by the legal area that has formed over the past decades, which creates a solid basis for strengthening the guarantees of human rights. The article has scientific value, since it examines the death penalty in the aspect of opposition and interaction of the Russian constitutional identity and the international obligations of the Russian Federation.
