Institute of the commissioner for human rights in the Russian Federation at the present stage

This article examines the role of the institution of the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation at the present stage. In recent years, the importance of the institution under consideration has increased significantly, due to numerous violations in the field of protection of personal inalienable rights, such as the right to life, safety, health protection, as well as consumer, cultural, and economic rights. The lack of a proper reaction of the state is also detrimental. All this reduces the credibility of democratic institutions. The world events that have taken place in recent years, such as the pandemic, the economic crisis, and geopolitical conflicts, have determined the importance of developing the institution of the Commissioner for Human Rights.
