Abstract
Introduction. The actualization of the processes of improving constitutional prescriptions in modern Russia necessitates the search for the theoretical foundations of constitutional reforms. The reason for writing the article was the anniversary date – the 30th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. Any anniversary is always an occasion to reflect, analyze, return to the times when everything began. As the purpose of the analysis of the evolution of Russian constitutionalism, it is possible to define a rethinking of approaches to models, methods and tools for changing the legal reality.
Materials and Methods. The transformation of the constitutional model of the state as a subject of scientific research in this work is based on the analysis of the transformations of the Constitution over three decades, the study of domestic experience in the legal regulation of public relations, the interpretation of constitutional provisions and institutions.

However, despite its importance, the Constitution of the Russian Federation, as well as the basic laws of other countries, does not always correspond to the realities of life and needs constant updating and improvement.
Results. The article is devoted to the study of constitutional transformations in the aspect of retrospective and comparative legal analysis of some constitutional and legal institutions – federalism, public power, special attention is paid to the evolution of constitutional guarantees of the realization of human rights and freedoms.
