The question of whether it is possible to use the abbreviation of the Russian Federation as an abbreviation for “Russian Federation” is controversial, the substantive side of this issue reflects an ambiguous attitude towards the use in legal acts of any abbreviations or abbreviations. On various examples, including constitutional regulation of this issue in the Soviet period, modern judicial practice, the authors conclude that there is no direct ban on the use of the abbreviation of the Russian Federation, however, public authorities in local acts can establish restrictions on its use.
