The Constitution of the Russian Federation absolutely fulfills its value purpose only when its provisions find their real embodiment in socio-political relations. In this context, the process of implementing the Constitution and its axiological provisions, which is the subject of this study, acquires a high degree of significance. The methodological basis of the study is a combination of such scientific methods as: formal-legal and structural-functional methods, comparison method, the method of searching and analyzing scientific and normative material. The scientific basis of the study is made by the works of outstanding scholars in the field of the theory of law and constitutional law. With regard to the implementation of constitutional values in the state programs of the Russian Federation, such properties of the Constitution as reality, direct action and programmatic nature acquire a special meaning. In addition, in the study of the implementation of constitutional values in the content of state programs of the Russian Federation, the question of the forms of implementation of the corresponding constitutional prescriptions acquires significant scientific and practical significance. Special forms of implementation of constitutional values in the content of state programs are: reflection in key aspects of the content of the state program (goals, objectives, directions) of provisions developing ideas of a particular constitutional value, as well as concretization of constitutional values in the content of state programs of the Russian Federation. For the implementation of constitutional values in the content of state programs, the current historical situation, the features of the current legal regime, the nature of international relations, etc. are essential. The degree to which society and the state are approaching this goal serves as a criterion for the effectiveness of the implementation under consideration. The main provisions of this research work and the key conclusions drawn from its results can serve as the basis for further scientific research concerning issues related to the implementation of constitutional values both in the content of state programs and in other forms, as well as issues related to the functioning of the mechanism of this implementation.
