Abstract
The main criteria of the boundaries of legal regulation for party relations were analyzed based on a case study of Russian legislation. The principles of party law, as well as their correlations and impact on interpreting the existing legislative norms, were examined using formal-logical, systemic, institutional, and hermeneutic methods. The diversity of these principles across legal branches was found. However, it is still insufficient to define the boundaries of legal influence with complete certainty, thus requiring from the subjects of legal enforcement to perform a case-by-case evaluation of the legal frameworks of party activities. Here, the boundaries of legal regulation for Russian political parties were established as a set of elements determined by the current legislation and built upon its goals and objectives for maintaining legal order in the functioning of party organizations. It was demonstrated that the latter are influenced by the scope of legal regulation and guided by the system of principles that outline the objective limits of legal influence on party relations.
