At a ceremonial reception dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the passing of the Constitution of the Russian Federation.
Strict adherence to the Constitution is the basis for the successful development of the state and civil agreement in society.
The life of the country is now impossible to imagine without free elections, without an entire spectrum of parties, political movements and associations, and without the advantages of the market and openness to the world. The attributes of democracy have been confirmed both as the norm of juridical life and as a human norm of life, the President noted.
It is this Constitution that has given Russia the opportunity to enter the circle of developed peaceful democracies.
