The article analyzes the amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation “Оn improving the regulation of certain issues of the organization of public power”. It is argued that the imposition of restrictions to replace the state and municipal posts, posts of state and municipal services associated with the presence of foreign citizenship or residence permit or other document confirming the right to permanent residence of citizens of the Russian Federation on the territory of a foreign state will not provide the “nationalization of the elites” because such a limitation is not provided for family members of the listed officials. Without this, the amendment is meaningless. The article doubts the feasibility of transferring the function of determining the main directions of domestic and foreign policy to the State Council, which by its status and composition belongs to the Executive bodies of state power. A priori, Executive power is secondary to representative power. Therefore, the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, in cooperation with the President of the Russian Federation, should have priority in shaping the main directions of domestic and foreign policy.
