State and Society: Russia’s Supreme Court is 90

Vladimir Putin took part in the event marking the 90th anniversary of the Russian Federation Supreme Court founding.

The President also presented state decorations and certificates conferring honorary titles to representatives of the judiciary.

“The processes governing the establishment and improvement of Russia’s judicial system are fully reflected in the Court’s activities. And the very founding and development of the Supreme Court is closely linked with our country’s complex and at times dramatic fate”, - said Vladimir Putin.

The President of Russia added that it was primarily thanks to the Supreme Court that the material support level in courts meets the required standards (and I must say that the Supreme Court President has expended efforts on this issue). In turn, this has allowed us to guarantee the constitutional principle of independence of judges, and to create decent living and working conditions for them.

“The contribution of the Supreme Court in the creation of a modern judicial system is hard to revalue”, - said Vladimir Putin.
