Abstract
Aim. To consider the problem of fulfillment by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation of the requirements of presidential decrees on departization, the violation of which was a factor of political pressure on the Communist Party leadership in the context of confrontation between the legislative and executive authorities in the 1990s.
Methodology. The article examines repeated attempts by the authorities to reveal the violations by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation of the legislation on public associations, which established the exclusively territorial principle of the party structure. While conducting the study, problem-historical, systemic, and formal-legal methods were used.
Results. Minor violations of the principle of territorial structure by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation were revealed, which could not serve as a sufficient basis for applying serious legal sanctions to this party by government institutions that have not yet been integrated into a single “vertical” power structure.
Research implications. The political and legal aspects of the confrontation between the presidential power and the parliamentary communist opposition in the 1990s are revealed.
