Abstract

Russian Constitution and international standards of human rights guarantee the human right to move freely within the territory of the country. Freedom of movement, choice of place of residence is an essential element of individual liberty, the condition of professional and spiritual development. The Russian Federation is a social state should pursue policies that ensure such development. The right to free choice of residence belongs to a citizen from birth, as well as other fundamental rights and freedoms shall be inalienable. However, this right is not absolute and is subject to legal regulation, bearing in mind that its implementation could lead to a violation of the rights and freedoms of other persons, which is inadmissible by virtue of Article 17 (part 3) of the Constitution. However, until recently there was determined the procedure of withdrawal from registration by place of residence of citizens sentenced to deprivation of liberty. Given the existing gap in the legal regulation, the authors consider the issues arising from the implementation of these constitutional rights of persons sentenced to imprisonment.
