Relation to protests of constitutional law
The Constitution of the Russian Federation, as the main guarantor of the protection of citizens of the Russian Federation and the main legislative act, in article 55 indicates restrictions on unauthorized demonstrations, their conduct is possible on the basis of federal laws. Constitutional rights and freedoms of man and citizen are emphasized in article 21, which indicates the procedure for holding peaceful assemblies.
Article 31 affirmed the right of citizens:
- collection is possible only with peaceful intentions to unarmed people;
- meetings, rallies, demonstrations, marches and pickets are allowed.
Gathering and rallying in groups, citizens discuss problems, express their attitude to politics, protest against illegal, in their opinion, government decisions, seek to bring their position to the public. It’s difficult to put into practice such events; public processions should not disturb public order. Rallies and demonstrations are held on the avenues, in the area of streets and squares. Such actions should be agreed in advance with law enforcement agencies so as not to create difficulties for traffic and people who are far from demonstrations.
