Abstract: The aim of this study is to provide a legal assessment of legal developments and establish a list of social variables required by Russian citizens. This research paper examines the features of Article 7 of the Russian Constitution, which describes the main principles of Russian government. This paper aims to provide an understanding of the importance and impact of Article 7 in the Russian political and legal environment through a comprehensive examination of its historical context, legal interpretation and practical implications. Before the 2020 constitutional changes, the declaration of Russia as a socialist country in Article 7 of the Constitution was not full of important constitutional principles. The goals of economic development related to the new Russia cannot be achieved without changing the legal framework of the activities of public institutions at all levels. During the reform process, many new legal protections were created, the government's commitment to improve the lives of the population was established, and public authorities were charged with its implementation. Based on accepted scientific methods, this work analyzes the main social events that took place during the constitutional revolution and the legal measures taken to improve welfare. Emphasis will be placed on evaluating the effectiveness of policy and legal decisions in the context of responding to the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on national economic development. The article describes the role of the head of state as a creator of legal and legal opinions that confirms the change of relations in the legal system of the separation of powers and lays the foundations for a new socio-economic strategy for the development of Russia.
