REVISITING THE BOUNDARY DELIMITATION BETWEEN THE SUBJECTS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE REPUBLIC OF INGUSHETIA AND THE CHECHEN REPUBLIC)
The article examines the problems of boundaries delimitation between the subjects of the Russian Federation, in the context of the existing vacuum in this part of the federal legislation. The legal process of boundaries delimitation between two republics of the North Caucasus region is shown, the only possible way to overcome this gap: the conclusion of the Agreement on boundaries delimitation between the Republic of Ingushetia and the Chechen Republic approved by the highest representative bodies of both subjects. It is also proposed at the legislative level to eliminate this shortcoming in the legislation of the Russian Federation in the eld of boundaries delimitation between the constituent entities of the Federation, as the main administrative units of the Russian state, by introducing appropriate amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, so that the state independently undertakes these procedural issues (with possible consideration, of course, the opinions of the population) in order to avoid political speculation and possible interethnic con icts in the future
