Abstract
The article examines the Russian model of the application of international law rules in the national legal system under resolving civil law cases, taking into account modern challenges and the need to ensure the state sovereignty of the Russian Federation. Based on the works of Soviet scholars who paid considerable attention to the issues of interaction between international and national law, in the development of the theory of transformation, it seeks the domestic mechanism for fulfilling international obligations of states and the inclusion of international law norms in the Russian legal system. It is argued that such an order should be established by the Russian Federation independently according to its internal rules based on the supremacy of the Constitution of the Russian Federation with the establishment of public order and national super imperative rules (overriding norms of direct application) as grounds for refusing to apply particular norms of International Law to civil law relations in exceptional cases, which should be done on the basis of an intersectoral approach, providing for systemic changes in the current legislation of the Russian Federation concerning the clear hierarchy of various sources of International and Russian law among themselves with the use of the restrictive interpretation of Article 15 (4) of the Constitution of the Russian Federation.
