Abstract

The article focuses upon the author’s understanding of how the concept of the human right in modern Russia is being evolving; it also outlines the author’s view of constitutional ideas and values. The author’s point is based upon the idea that the human rights and freedoms are the exclusive and the highest priorities of an individual who is a part of the state. The author considers the hierarchy of values to be the one of the acute issues within the constitutional law axiology. The author draws the readers’ attention to the restriction of rights and freedoms of an individual that is taking place, and explains that such a restriction may have both constructive and destructive impact. Unreasonable restrictions may result in conflict of values. The ultimate purpose of a state, according to the author, is granting of rights and freedoms to its population and citizens. This comes in line with the fundamental statement of the international law which implies that any state is primarily in charge of enforcing human rights on the basis of parage and equal respect.

Keywords
