Well, I don't understand what your initial point is because every country has a constitution then - including Russia. The difference between is that in New Zealand the "constitution" is fluid and is very easy to change because it's simply laws. This is way off topic, but I think holding the constitution as some sort of semi-religious document is actually a bad thing, for instance the right to bear arms is seen by the rest of the world as quite odd and very scary. If people weren't so fervent about the document you can look at it objectively and make the required changes to reflect the times.
