The above-mentioned findings are based on the research of legislations, interpretations of the constitutional norms by the doctrine, courts practices and so on concerning the following issues ; right to citizenship, rights of national minorities, privacy, secrecy of correspondence, non-invasion into residence, freedom of change of residence, freedom of thought and speech, freedom of association, right to meetings, suffrage, ownership, freedom of work, right of social security, rights of children, right to housing, environmental right, human rights of crime victims and the general situation of the crime in present Russia.
