The bills themselves on amendments to the Constitution are expected to be submitted to the State Duma in February-March this year.
On January 15, Vladimir Putin announced the need to amend the Constitution.

The president considered the amendments proposed by him to be put to the All-Russian vote.
In particular, it is proposed to abolish the priority of international law over Russian constitutional legislation and prohibit large federal officials from having dual citizenship.
