The task of creating a legal state and civil society in Russia dictates the urgent need for studying the domestic and foreign historical experience of constitutional construction. The present article is devoted to the study and analysis of some aspects of the implementation of the Soviet constitutional norms on the example of the USSR Constitution of 1977.
