Features: China has basically established a relatively comprehensive legal system in the field of economic construction, but the legal system in social and political areas is still incomplete. Russia's laws in political and social fields have already reached the same level as Western developed countries, and it has even been developing social autonomy and local autonomy. However, its legal system in the economic field still has a certain distance from the world. Regardless of the direction in which laws are formulated, both China and Russia now face the arduous task of legal enforcement. Only when laws are truly implemented and strictly enforced can they be transformed into real legal life. The compliance, adherence, and law-based actions of state organs and civil servants must be internalized as their own habits and motivations, and the formation of public legal awareness requires support from the cognition and identification with social reality. All of this requires time. This book analyzes and reviews the legal system construction and constitutional amendment processes of China and Russia, and has certain academic value, making it worth reading.
