Abstract

This article discusses one of the elements of a special legal status of citizens
affected by radiation. It is suggested to include three elements into the specified
status, one of which is the constitutional rights and freedoms that are directly
connected with favorable environment. It is marked that the Article 42 of the
Constitution of the Russian Federation consists of three separate provisions.
Citizen’s right for favorable environment is directly connected with favorable
habitation. The right mentioned is complemented by some individual rights
such as the right for life and health, personal dignity, and the right of a citizen
to work. The same element of the special legal status of a citizen is supplemented
with the constitutional right of citizens to reliable information about
the condition of the environment.
