This article contains a brief review of the constitutional events that took place in Ukraine since its Declaration of Independence to the Presidential elections in 2014. The main attention is given to the transformation of the text of the Ukrainian Constitution of 1996 and the legal instruments of its conversion, including acts of the Constitutional Court. The author emphasizes the idea of the similarity of the constitutional and legal institutions of Ukraine and Russia, comparing them with each other, and focuses on the need to comply with current legislation by all the legal subjects, primarily in the field of human rights and freedoms. Incompleteness of the constitutional process in modern Ukraine requires development and adoption of new legal solutions based on broad public support.
