How many times the former Soviet Union had formal new constitutions? What is the present position of Russia in this regard?

Solution

The Soviet Union had four constitutions in its life of 74 years (1918, 1924, 1936 and 1977). In 1991 the rule of the Communist Party came to an end and the Soviet federation disintegrated.
