Along with the recognition of successes in socio-economic modernization due to multi-billion federal investments, it should be noted that Tatarstan is not de jure and more and more de facto a subject of the Russian Federation.
For several years, the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation has unsuccessfully tried to force Tatarstan to bring the constitution of the republic into line with the Constitution of the Russian Federation, demanding to remove from the Tatarstan document the provisions on state sovereignty. However, in Tatarstan they are in no hurry to execute the Decree No. 10-P (from 7.06.2000) and Definition No. 92-0 (from 27.06.2000) of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, inventing various prepositions, including creating a special group of scientists to clarify the semantics of the word sovereignty.

In 2008, Tatarstan completed the initial socio-economic modernization and achieved significant success along the path of secondary modernization. At the same time, rapid socio-economic development and political contradictions with the federal center (existence of the agreement “On the delimitation of competencies between the state authorities of the Russian Federation and the state authorities of the Republic of Tatarstan” approved by the Federal Law No. XXUMX 199 July 24 of the year and the provisions of the Republic of Tatarstan as a sovereign state in the Constitution of the Republic of Tajikistan, they strengthen the centrifugal trends in the development of the region with the prospect of creating a union state "Russia-Belarus-Tatarstan".
