Russia’s accession to the Council of Europe at the end of the XX century predetermined the convergence and divergence processes of international and Russian law, led to the implementation of European standards and rules for the treatment of prisoners in Russian legislation, and established Russia’s obligation to implement the decisions of the European court of human rights. However, it was not the lack of scientific and economic justification for some of the proposed changes and additions that created an inappropriate result, situations that are not typical of Russia and in some cases contradict the Constitution of the Russian Federation.
