Concept, principles and types of social security in Russia

Resume: The Constitution declares that every citizen of Russia has inalienable social rights. However, the legal basis for social security of Russian citizens covers not only constitutional, but also international and federal legal norms of national legislation. Each level of regulation of legal relations in the field of social security of citizens of the Russian Federation has not only a theoretical basis for legal norms, but also a practical mechanism for their protection - in the relevant courts: international, constitutional and federal courts of general practice. The possibility of judicial protection of the right to social security among Russian citizens is especially relevant in view of the fact that legislation in the field of social security is constantly being improved, supplemented and rewritten, and specified. As a result, there are mistakes in law enforcement practice, due to which Russian citizens often turn to both the ECHR and the national courts on issues of violated rights to social security. This creates an additional burden on courts of all levels. Thus, it is necessary to search for ways to eliminate the shortcomings of regulation of legal relations in the field of social security of citizens of the Russian Federation. The proposed article searches for such shortcomings and suggests ways to eliminate them.
