ies - as they would aspire to upholding mainly, especially regional and local interests - could lead to infringement of the state integrity and unity of the system of the government as the fundamentals of the federal structure of Russia. Besides, the legal sense between regional political parties and parties which would actually be formed according to national or religious belonging would be washed away.the conditions complex character of the Russian Federation creation in each subject of the Russian Federation of regional and local political parties could also lead to creation of a number of regional party systems that would lead to transformation of the formed party system as a part of political system of the country in the factor of easing of developing Russian democracy, system of democracy, federalism, unity of the country and by that easing of the constitutional guarantees of rights and freedoms, including the right to freedom of association in political parties, equality of rights of the citizens to creation and participation in activity of political parties on the entire territory of the Russian Federation.the same time the given position of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, in our opinion, does not exclude the opportunity of such legislative regulation of party-political relations at which even under the conditions of existence of circumstances which, in the opinion of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, interfere with creation of regional and local political parties, there would be admitted at present creation of inter-regional party-political units. Thus, concrete territorial scales of the corresponding organizations could be established by the legislator proceeding from the objective criteria connected, in particular, with not only of processes of integration of the subjects of the Russian Federation, but, for example, on creation of nine federal districts as the specific form of the territorial - political basis of creation and functioning of federal administrative structures in the Russian state, etc. Within the framework of the given approach the constitutionally significant purpose connected with maintenance of integrity of the Russian Federation by means of consolidation of political interests interconnected with large territorial unities should be taken into account.

In this connection it has been pacified, that, recognizing multi-party system and guaranteeing the right to freedom of association in political parties and freedom to their activity, the Constitution of the Russian Federation predetermines neither quantity of parties, nor their numerical structure and does not assume impossibility of establishment of requirement about the minimal number of members of the party. Anyway, the federal legislator is called to settle these questions so that, on the one hand, the numerical structure and territorial scale of activity of political parties were not excessive and they did not encroach the major contents of the rights of the citizens to association and on the other hand - they were capable to carry out the authorized problems and functions as national (all-Russian) political parties, ie finally, the legislator should be guided by the criterion of reasonable sufficiency proceeding from the principle of harmony. At deciding of the question on numerical structure of political parties and territorial scale of their activity the legislator possesses sufficient degree of discretion, taking into account, that the given question in many respects is connected with political expediency. These quantitative criteria can get unconstitutional character in the event when the result of their application is impossibility of real realization of the constitutional right of citizens to association in political parties including if - in infringement of the constitutional principle of multi-party system - on their basis there would be created only one political party.is necessary to take into account, that the stipulated by Article 13 (Part 3) of the Constitution of the Russian Federation the principle of political variety is realized not only through multi-party system, creation and activity of parties of various ideological orientation.
