[Regnum] Chairman of the Constitutional Court (CC) Valery Zorkin said that the main thing in Russia from a legal point of view should be the equality of everyone in the state before the law and the court. He shared his opinion at the “Knowledge” society marathon, held at the “Russia” exhibition and forum. “It would seem that we live by these rules, everything works. But when there are outbursts that highlight this obvious inequality, obvious, causing corruption, then, of course, this is projected onto the entire society and the state,” he noted. The Chairman of the Constitutional Court recalled the high-profile case of the former chairman of the Rostov Regional Court, who repeatedly received bribes and persuaded colleagues to make “necessary” decisions. Zorkin said that a balanced approach is needed to combat corruption and other problems in the judicial system. “How else can we consider this monstrous situation that happened in the Rostov court, when the chairman of the court headed, it must be said, the ethics commission in the council of judges,” said Valery Zorkin. At the same time, he urged not to look for shortcomings in the judicial system and not to forget that the process of improving the work of law and the court is still taking place. He commented on criticism of the court that it was allegedly completely rotten. The Chairman of the Constitutional Court urged people to think about why, in this case, 35 million cases are being processed and people are asking for help. “Therefore, it seems to me that we need to approach this matter carefully, carefully, and with an understanding of the matter. The Constitutional Court is also in this plane, to uphold the rights and equality of all before the law, the court, equality,” summed up the head of the Constitutional Court. As Regnum reported , Russian President Vladimir Putin on November 3, during a meeting with the new composition of the Public Chamber, called for focusing on the domestic agenda and improving demography.

According to Anisimov, at the meeting they received a lot of guidelines on how to further build work in the most important areas. |
