Аннотация:After examining the manner in which constitutional justice bodies are formed in the Commonwealth of Indepen-dent States (CIS) and the scope of their powers, the author analyzes constitutional justice models of Moldova and Ukraine. These are later compared with the Rus-sian model, with a focus on Russia’s 2020 constitutional reform. The author con-cludes by pointing out an innate contradic-tion in the institution of constitutional jus-tice – the fact that it is, generally, extremely difficult to decouple it from the “political”. In the CIS countries the degree to which constitutional justice is entangled with politics is greater than anywhere else. This is explained by the conditions of political transit and the phenomenon of neopatrimo-nialism.
