The Constitutional Court of the Republic of Bashkortostan was disestablished by the 2020 amendments to the Constitution of Russia, among other constitutional and charter courts of the Russian federal subjects. In its place, a new advisory body has been established in the form of the Constitutional Council, which does not have any judicial powers. However, according to amendments to the Constitution of Bashkortostan, the basis for the formation and appointment of officeholders in the newly formed body remains the same as in the Constitutional Court before.
