the Public chamber of Russia held the first March meeting of the working group on amendments to the Constitution. Involved including social scientists and representatives of the Central election Commission. Some experts will join the dialogue via video link, the TV channel “Russia 24”.

“the Crisis has allowed us to see how popular the proposed amendments to the Constitution. The colossal scale targeted support to the population and measures in support of labour market, employment — it’s all done in the parameters of the welfare state, which in the current Constitution very sparingly defined. With the new amendments finally appear to be a specific guarantee, they fill the concept of the welfare state what we can use. We decided to gather in full-time and remote and discuss who did what during this time as each of the members of the working group held numerous meetings, including in online mode,” — said co-chair of the working group on amendments to the Constitution taliya khabrieva.
