Tension between these two courts arose about seven years ago in 2013 after the ECHR effectively denied a decision of the Constitutional Court of Russia in the case of Constantine Markin. The Constitutional Court subsequently refused to recognize the decision of the ECHR in this case. In the future, the right of the Constitutional Court not to recognize such decisions if they are deemed as contrary to the national Constitution was further amended by the Law on the Constitutional Court. However, a new wave of interest in the relationship between national and international law and constitutional principles has emerged just recently. On January 15, 2020, in a speech to the Russian Parliament, President Vladimir Putin proposed to amend the current Constitution of 1993 and formalize the priority of national law over international law. On July 1, 2020, a popular referendum was held, at which the amendments proposed by the President were adopted. According to these amendments, the Constitutional Court has the right to disqualify decision of international courts (to allow the government not to execute it on the territory of the Russian Federation) if it contradicts the Constitution of Russia and its main principles.}, pages = {47--60}, title = {Revision of International Law by the Constitutional Court of Russia : Between National and International Law}, volume = {6}, year = {2021} }
