Position of Venice Commission[edit]

Russia never was a member of Venice Commission, how is it's position relevant to Russian constitutional law? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:A45E:72A7:1:527B:9DFF:FED0:561 (talk) 22:38, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reword writing[edit]

There is some weird wording in sections of the article. Notably, a strange combination of tenses including future tense to refer to events that have already happened.

"The amendments have been put to a national vote initially called for April 2020 but later postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They have been rescheduled for 1 July"

"Specifically, Putin has suggested to require the minimum wage to be above the poverty line and to guarantee an annual increase in pension payments"

Other strange wording can be found in sentences such as "Essentially, after 1 July there was going to be a "Putin" Constitution instead of "Yeltsin" Constitution, which meant a significant change in a political system that has existed for over twenty-five years".

Overall, I think there is a series of weird writing patterns found in this article which should be fixed. Tombricks (talk) 23:21, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Residency requirement[edit]

I don't understand the "president may never have had foreign citizenship or residency" requirement, like at all. Putin lived in Dresden, East Germany for about 5 years in the late 1980s. Doesn't that clause disqualify him? Why was it added if it is a problem for him?--91.64.56.126 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 23:00, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Any citizen of the Russian Federation not younger than 35 years of age who has resided in the Russian Federation on a permanent basis for not less than 25 years, who does not have and never had foreign citizenship, residence permit or another document certifying the right of the citizen of the Russian Federation to have residence in the territory of a foreign state may be elected President of the Russian Federation." - Since the Russian Federation did not exist in the 1980s, maybe this would not apply to Putin? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7C:A070:5100:447C:37D8:F93C:B24A (talk) 14:46, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
