🕳️ Released Phantom Node 88: The “Constitutional” Shield. Kremlin Legal Obfuscation
- Foundation date
17 December 2025
This project is a philosophical and artistic study of the phenomenon of "phantom nodes" — invisible yet influential objects and subjects in the contemporary global system. The descriptions contained within this study are metaphorical and allegorical, aimed at uncovering systemic problems, regimes, and civilisational influences. They are not a journalistic investigation or legal accusations, but serve as an artistic interpretation of reality.
Names are included because they appear in open international sources.

Mode: Legal Obfuscation Regime
🕳️ Released Phantom Node 88: The “Constitutional” Shield. Kremlin Legal Obfuscation
Institutions that legalize aggression and war crimes.
Who is it?
The “constitutional” shield is not law but a ritualized mechanism for legalizing dictatorship crimes. Formal democratic institutions — parliament, courts, constitutional bodies — are used as camouflage to give aggression, repression, and annexation an appearance of legality. Law here does not limit power; it armors it.
Type of node:
Legal, institutional, systemic
Status:
Formally legitimate, substantively criminal
Form of control:
Legislative camouflage, procedural terror, pseudo-legal rituals
Phantom image:
A stone Themis with scales turned into chains and a blindfold of barbed wire
Instead of the phantom:
Folders, decrees, signatures, verdicts without justice
Essence of the node:
What sustained it?
Legislative “printing,” controlled courts, falsified votes, constant constitutional rewriting.
How did it become a phantom?
Law lost autonomy and became a service apparatus for aggression.
Why does the phantom still exist?
Illusions of legitimacy, internal fear, and external legal complexity.
Phantom state:
Active, institutionally embedded, internationally toxic
After the regime:
– Annulment of pseudo-laws
– Judicial cleansing
– Legal nullification of acts of aggression
– Restoration of the rule of law
Collective response:
We see law turned into a weapon.
We name it a crime.
We return boundaries to law.
Key principle:
When law serves crime, it ceases to be law.
Alt-text:
Graphite drawing of Lady Justice: scales as shackles, blindfold made of barbed wire. She stands on a mountain of files labeled “Law,” while courthouse columns behind her resemble artillery barrels — symbolizing law used as a weapon of aggression.

🫧 Phantom Node Dossier 88: The "Constitutional" Shield. The "Legal Obfuscation and Legalized Arbitrariness" Regime.
Key Aspects of the Phantom:
"The Legal Obfuscation Regime" (or "Legislative Camouflage"). The essence of this node is the use of formal democratic institutions (Duma, Federation Council, Constitutional Court) for the ritual cleansing of the dictatorship's criminal decisions. Law here does not limit power; it serves as its body armor.
Regimes:
🏛️ Rubber-Stamp Legislation Regime: Instant passage of repressive laws or acts of aggression without debate.
🗳️ Plebiscitary Camouflage Regime: Using fake referendums to mimic "popular will" for annexations.
⚖️ Selective Justice Regime: Courts as tools to punish the disloyal and protect the "elites."
📜 Constitutional Mutagenesis Regime: Rewriting the constitution to reset term limits and expand autocratic powers.
Tools:
🏢 Pocket Parliament: Legislators acting as "button-pushers" under executive oversight.
🔨 Compliant Constitutional Court: A body that "sanctifies" violations of international law.
📂 Repressive Law Packages: Legislation on "foreign agents" and "military fakes" that criminalizes dissent.
🖊️ Annexation Decrees: Legal artifacts creating a parallel reality of occupied lands.
Civilizational Influences:
📉 Erosion of International Law: Using domestic law to justify destroying global order.
🎭 Death of the Concept of "Law": Transforming law into a synonym for state violence.
🛡️ "Legal" Impunity: Domestic mechanisms that exempt war criminals from accountability.
🧩 Labyrinth of Lies: Confusing international partners through bureaucratic procedures and pseudo-legal terminology.
