Their meeting took place on Tuesday, May 23 in the Kremlin after the state awards ceremony, during which the head of the Constitutional Court received the Order of the Holy Apostle Andrew the First Called from the hands of the President. “I am very happy to see you today and I would like to congratulate you once again on the State Prize”, greeted the Head of State to the guest.
“The Constitutional Court is an essential link in the entire legal and judicial system of the country,” the president said. “One of the “keys”, retorted the head of the Constitutional Court and briefly informed about the work of the court in 2022 and in the first months of 2023.
The number of petitions to the Constitutional Court since 2019 has been around 12,000 per year, he said. On issues that fall within the jurisdiction of the court, it makes about 3,700 decisions. “Why this difference? Because everything else is actually something that does not apply to the powers of the Constitutional Court. For example, they complain about not giving an apartment, etc.,” Zorkin explained. .
In terms of topics, issues of civil law and entrepreneurship come first, in second place come criminal procedure and criminal law, followed by labor law and social law. “It also testifies to a certain stability in this area,” said the President of the Constitutional Court.
Last come complaints about the political rights of citizens, this ratio does not change, Zorkin stressed. “It would seem that they foreshadowed that in connection with this or that situation in the country, all this will crawl, but, as you can see (we give an objective cut), people are more concerned about those rights whose I spoke,” Zorkin commented on the stat calls. “Plus, you know, it’s just an order of magnitude smaller than that last column,” he added.
Then the head of the Constitutional Court showed the president an old document. “It turned out that in our Constitutional Court we found a copy of the map drawn up under Louis XIV, that is, we are in the middle of the 17th century, compiled by the French themselves. It there is no Ukraine, there is a ‘land’ in two places – the country of the Commonwealth, the south and the country of the Cossack. And the great Kingdom of Russia,” Zorkin said. “Why did I dare to show it to you? Because there was a lot of speculation about the origins, how it all formed,” he added.
“We know that these lands were just part of the Commonwealth, and then they asked to be part of the Moscow Kingdom. That’s all,” Putin replied.
“And only then, after the October Revolution, all sorts of quasi-state formations began to form. The Soviet government created Soviet Ukraine, before that there was no Ukraine in the history of mankind,” he said.
- The most important thing is that it was not us who did it, but the French, – said Valery Zorkin.
- Well, on the map they marked what was in life, on earth, – stressed Vladimir Putin.

The doctor, in particular, recounted how the area has lived under constant bombardment for 9 years. “For 9 years, our enemy, the enemy of our people, has been waging war on these people. We are often told, and we hear, that Russia has started some kind of war. No! Russia, with the help of ‘a special army operation, is trying to prevent this war being waged against us, against our people, part of which, due to historical injustice, ended up outside the borders of the historic Russian state,’ Putin said .
