Keywords: local government, federal law on the general principles of the organization of local self-government, constitutional policy, forms of exercise by the population of local self-government, Federal Law No. 131-FZ.

The constitutional and legal policy of the Russian Federation is aimed at developing civil society institutions and a democratic state state. Today, local self-government is an integral part of any society, as it includes elements of the population's self-organization in solving local issues, which is ensured by the interaction of local governments with the population.

Organizational and legal guarantees for the implementation of local governments by the population of the Russian Federation are enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the Federal Law of October 6, 2003 No. 131-FZ "On the General Principles of the Organization of Local Self-Government in the Russian Federation" and other regulatory legal acts.

Before the adoption of the Federal Law No. 131-FZ in the Russian Federation, the Federal Law of August 28, 1995 No. 154-FZ "On the General Principles of Local Self-Government Organization in the Russian Federation", which also regulated the Institute of Interaction of Local Self-Government bodies with the population.

In order to identify differences in the interaction of local governments with the population, it is necessary to analyze Federal Law No. 131-FZ and Federal Law No. 154-FZ (invaliding the force with the adoption of Federal Law No. 131-FZ). Despite the fact that both laws have a similar name, they have significant differences.

The differences appear already in determining the concept of "local self-government". In the Federal Law No. 154-ФЗ, local government is defined as "independent and responsible for the activities of the population by decision directly or through local self-government bodies of local importance, based on the interests of the population." And in the Federal Law No. 131-FZ it is said that local government in the Russian Federation is a form of implementation by the people of their authority, independent and under its responsibility

the population directly and (or) through local self-government bodies of local importance, based on the interests of the population, taking into account historical and other local traditions.

Thus, in the Federal Law of 1995, the emphasis was placed on local government as the activities of the population, and in the Federal Law 2003 - as a form of exercise by the people of his power.

The name of the head of the Federal Law No. 131-FZ, regulating the participation of the population in the implementation of local self-government, differs from the name of a similar chapter of the Federal Law No. 154-ФЗ. In the previous law, the chapter was called "the forms of direct will of citizens and other forms of implementing local government." It turned out that in this chapter we should go about all the forms of the implementation of local governments, including through local governments, although in fact there were no word about local governments. In the Federal Law No. 131-FZ, such a chapter is called "the form of directly exercising by the population of local self-government and the participation of the population in the implementation of local self-government", which corresponds to its content.

Thus, not only the names of chapters are different, but also the compliance of these titles of their content; Moreover, the Federal Law No. 131-FZ has already allocated two types of direct democracy in the title: the direct exercise by the population of local self-government and the participation of the population in the implementation of local self-government.

Forms of exercise by the population of local self-government are also distinguished. Thus, the Federal Law of 1995 provided for the following forms: a local referendum, municipal elections, a meeting (similarity) of citizens, a national law-conducting initiative, the appeal of citizens into local governments, territorial public self-government and other forms that are not contrary to the Constitution of the Russian Federation and federal law.

Federal Law No. 131-FZ was complemented by new forms of the implementation of local self-government with the population, such as:

- voting on the response of the deputy, a member of the elected body of local self-government, the elected official of local self-government, voting on the issues of changing the borders of the municipality, transformation of the municipality;

- Conference of citizens (meeting of delegates);

Also, Federal Law No. 131-FZ regulated in more detail, some forms of exercising by the population of local governments, which were provided for by the Federal Law of 1995

The local referendum and municipal elections were attributed to the forms of direct exercise by the population of local self-government, compared with Federal Law No. 154-ФЗ, the procedure for holding a local referendum, municipal elections was settled in more detail. In the Federal Law No. 154-ФЗ, it was established that the initiators of the local referendum are the population and representative body of local government, Federal Law No. 131-FZ expanded this list, including electoral associations and other public associations.

The gathering and the meeting as the form of the implementation of local self-government in the Federal Law of 1995 were fixed as synonyms, and the Federal Law 2003 divided these concepts, consolidating the gathering of citizens as an independent form. Federal Law No. 154-FZ determined only some issues of the functioning of meetings (similarity) of citizens. In the Federal Law No. 131-FZ, it was established when such a form should be applied as the gathering of citizens, and also established for what purpose meetings are held. In the Federal Law No. 154-ФЗ, nothing was said.

The most significant changes were associated with such a form of exercising by the population of local self-government, as a law-making initiative. In the Federal Law No. 154-ФЗ, this form was called "People's Agricultural Initiative". The participant of local self-government in a particular municipality was not the people, but the population. Federal Law No. 131-FZ has changed the name of this institution to the "law-conducting initiative of citizens" and significantly concretized it, having endowed the legal group of citizens with a number of no more than 3%, and in the previous law, an indefinite number of citizens possessed this right. In federal law No. 154-FZ noted that the population has the right to

legal initiative in accordance with the charter of the municipality. If the procedure was not provided in the charter, the population was deprived of this right. Also, nothing was said about the terms of consideration of the draft municipal legal act, made in the procedure for the implementation of the law-held initiative of citizens, and was not determined which body should consider it. Federal Law No. 131-FZ eliminated these shortcomings.

Amendments were also made in such a form as territorial public self-government. Federal Law No. 131-FZ retained the overall characterization of the territorial public self-government contained in the Federal Law No. 154-ФЗ, but changes were made regarding the organization. Federal Law No. 154-FZ established that the procedure for the organization and implementation of territorial public self-government is determined by the charter of the municipality in accordance with the laws of the subjects of the Federation. And Federal Law No. 131-ФЗ excluded the laws of subjects from among the sources, establishing that the procedure for the organization and implementation of territorial public self-government is determined by the charter of the municipality and (or) regulatory legal acts of the representative body of the municipality.

Thus, Federal Law No. 131-ФЗ regulates the participation of the population in local governments in more detail, includes new forms of exercise by the population of local self-government and significantly complements Federal Law No. 154-FZ.

In general, both federal laws characterize the application of civilian forms and contains norms that ensure the participation of the population in the implementation of local self-government.

Development and formation of a judicial precedent as a source of law: comparative legal analysis

Oruzhova Rufia Rovshan-Kyza,

university, Yoshkar-Ola.

The article is devoted to the study of the concept of a judicial precedent as a source of law. The author gives a comparative analysis of the history of the formation of a judicial precedent in different countries. In the article on the basis of the historical approach, the nature of the judicial precedent is investigated in detail, the factors that influenced its development and formation are analyzed.

Keywords: judicial precedent, source of law, precedent law, Pretorous law, court decisions, legislation.

The problem of the formation of a system of sources of law is one of the most acute and debatable in legal science. The question of what to consider the source of law is the most important theoretical and practical importance, since its solution in a certain way orienses the law enforcement. When used as sources, the rights exclusively laws often arise difficulties that indicate the obvious disadvantages of this approach. In this regard, practices increasingly have to deal with the problems of using the judicial precedent in the protection of the constitutional rights of citizens, human rights, and even often use them as the only source of law, a regulator of certain public relations. In addition, recently the study of problems relating to the judicial precedent as one of the sources of law has become traditional not only for foreign legal science, but also for domestic law.

The historical approach in the study of the judicial precedent as a source of law allows you to deeper to understand the main causes and conditions for its occurrence, the trend of its development, the nature and features of its application. In addition, a comparative analysis

the historical development of the Precedent Institute allows to determine the objective and subjective factors that lay the evolution of the judicial precedent and which they have a decisive impact on the entire path of its development, and makes it possible to establish those most characteristic for judicial precedent features and features that contributed to its centuries-old development and improvement.

Judicial precedent as an independent legal institution was known from ancient times in the first world states, such as Babylon, ancient Egypt, ancient Rome. Already then, on the basis of judicial practice, the first books of laws were written. In ancient Rome, oral statements (etiquettes) or decisions on specific issues of pretors and other magistrates acted as precedents. Initially, they had binding on the consideration of identical cases exclusively for their masters and directly during the period of their stay in power.

However, over time, many of the most appropriate interests of the dominant class of edicts of some magistrates were repeated in edicts of newly elected magistrates and thus

There Allocated and Analyzed The Conceptual and The Most Important Provisions of Laws for the Development of Local Self-Government in the Russian Federation.

Local self-government in the Russian Federation develops within the framework of the fundamental principles of the Russian Federation enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation on December 12, 1993 (hereinafter refer to the Constitution of the Russian Federation 1993), and the Federal Law "On the General Principles of Local Self-Government Organization in the Russian Federation" from 6 October 2003 No. 131-FZ (hereinafter seeing the Federal Law on Local Self-Government of 2003) Of course, the provisions of other regulations, one way or another, regulating local governments create a general legal regulation system in this field. Thus, the current stage of the genesis of local self-government in the Russian Federation is impossible to consider without the analysis of the provisions of the above acts.

Each of these laws is a bright indicator of a particular era and is based on a specific concept. For example, the concept of the Federal Law "On the General Principles of Local Government Organization in the Russian Federation" of August 28, 1995 No. 154-FZ (see further the Federal Law on Local Government of 1995) was mainly based on the public theory of local government, and the concept of the Federal Law on Local Law Self-government 2003 on a ridiculous (socio-state) theory. As will be shown below in the Russian Federation there has been a tendency to transform a ridiculous model of local self-government towards administrative. However, in our opinion, it is not worthwhile between the principle of centralization and the administrative model of the local self-government

ravenasta sign. It seems that real centralization is the entry of local governments into the system of government agencies, which is not possible in the Russian Federation, since the provisions of Article 12 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation of 1993, no one has canceled and in the foreseeable future is unlikely to cancel.

The administrative model involves increasing the role of state authorities in solving local issues, which are primarily aimed at ensuring the vital activity of the population of the municipality. In turn, the population of the municipality is part of the people of the Russian Federation. Therefore, it is quite explained that the state through ensuring the activities of local government aims seeks to create a unified effective model of local self-government. Although the model of local self-government in the Russian Federation cannot be called centralized, but elements of centralization in the Federal Law on Local Self-Government 2003 are still present.

As N.L. Pesin says rightly. The reform of local self-government leads to a significant end of the degree of worship of local self-government into the system of state power. This is also visible on the example of the initiatives already implemented: such as establishing a higher degree of responsibility of local self-government before the state, strengthening control over local government, especially in the field of transmitted powers, temporary implementation of certain powers of local government authorities (the introduction of a temporary financial administration) and T .P." .

Agreeing with the scientific position of N.L. Pechina from himself I will note that an increase in state control over the activities of local self-government bodies in strictly regulated by law, it is not possible to be called anti-democratic phenomenon. Moreover, as noted above, this is in a certain sense guaranteeing the legality in the country. The so-called embedding, which N.L. says Pehins is definitely a complete objective process and contributes to the effective functioning of local self-government. However, embedding should not be understood as the direct entry of local governments to the system of government bodies. The specified term applies mainly to demonstrate the responsibility of bodies and officials in the event of not a legitimate solution.

In the context of the foregoing, the point of view of II is quite reasonable. Ovchinnikova, noting that "the problem that is today

discussed under the name "local self-government" - this is the problem of the organization of the management system at the local level. It is much higher: this is a matter of the organization of the entire public administration system, which cannot be solved separately from the issue of organizing public administration, both in the subject of the Federation and in the country as a whole. Therefore, to study the modern problems of public administration at the local level, apparently follows closely with the problems of public administration, naturally, in the case when the task of more rational ensuring the life of society, its consistent and sustainable development is set.

To ensure the constitutional guarantees of the exercise of democracy through local governments, a law on local self-government was adopted [Z.S. 190-262.]. It should be recognized that the adoption of this law is an important milestone in the formation of a new, based on the provisions of the Constitution of the model of the organization of local authorities. However, in subsequent years, the practice of implementing the concept of this law has shown quite a few flaws. For example, as V.I. rightly notes Vasiliev "Most and theorists, and practitioners it became clear that the law led Russian local self-government not very clear and calculating"; "The document was bluded-framework, since the decision of the important issues of the territorial device and the procedure for the functioning of local self-government only" dotted line "or in general, he left their decision, gave it to the discretion of the subjects of the federation, municipalities and the population itself"; "The calculation of the population, residents of cities and villages were impossible for the initiative of the public, residents of cities and villages."

It seems that a certain nationalization of local self-government on the part of the output after the adoption of the Law 2003 is a consequence of its non-effective implementation within the framework of the concept of the Federal Law of 1995, the disadvantages of the Federal Law on the Local Self-Government of 1995 were due to more reasons of systemic nature. It was designed and accepted on the needs of the day. The problem is that the law proceeded from almost that the literal interpretation of the provisions of the Constitution, first of all concerning the independence of local self-government (Article 12 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation 1993). Of course, the provisions of this article requires detailing and concretization in federal legislation, in order not to have a hypertrophied understanding of the phenomenon of freedom to the subjects of legal relations, specifically to the subjects of the Russian

It should be noted that the Federal Law on Local Self-Government in 1995 actually regulated the general principles of its organization and thereby gave the subjects of the Federation practical non-limited rights in the field of local self-government. In this regard, A.A.'s opinion should be accepted Sergeeva who noted that "constitutional ideas objectively could not serve as a complete foundation for solving the real problems of Russian local authorities. In conditions of ambiguous socio-economic reforms, local governments were primarily an element of a single social policy policy, a means of solving utility problems "for a government account", the mechanism of state subsidization of the non-viable population. Practice puts other tasks at the head of the corner: the creation of universal and fair mechanisms of budget alignment (this required the unification of the territorial and institutional organization of the municipal authority); A clear definition of the duties of local governments to the population and guarantees of the population rights to receive utilities (this required rethinking the competences of local self-government and the limits of its independence), etc. The real social function of local self-government dictated a change in approaches to its legislative regulation. " Thus, the process of modernization of public authority institutions after the collapse of the USSR was inconsistent and controversial.

Already at the beginning of the XX! The centuries in front of the state power of the Russian Federation became the problem of the reorganization of field management, which, of course, was to lead to the formation of a new, effective system of local self-government. It is noteworthy that since the adoption of the Constitution of the Russian Federation 1993, the basis of future reforms (1995 and 2000) was also underway Article 12 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation 1993, enshrining on the one hand, guarantees of independence of local self-government within the limits of its powers , on the other, the provisions on the non-inclusion of local self-government institutions into the system of government bodies.

As already noted above, prior to the beginning of the reform of 2003 in the Russian science of the municipal law essentially, the "public" theory of local self-government prevailed, based on the opposition of the state and society. In justifying the legitimacy of this approach, his supporters referred to Article 12 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation of 1993 and the provisions of the Federal Law on Local Self-Government of 1995. As N.S. is fairly emphasized. Bondar "Of course, such an approach bribes with his desire

to ensure the maximum independence of local governments, their complete independence from the state and its bodies. " However, in modern Russia, the implementation of this theory is fully fully, in strengthening the role of the state in the management of society, is an impracticable task. It is no coincidence that some scientists noted the leniency of this approach. In this regard, "It is quite clear to the desire of opponents of the social nature of local self-government to overcome the unifuncable gap between state power and local government, which is clearly manifested in practice in particular in the legislation of the subject of the subject."

According to A.A. Sergeeva "The main motive of the preparation of the new edition of the Basic Law on Local Government was to distinguish between the competence of various levels of public authority, streamlining and unifying intergovernmental relations." A similar point of view adheres to A.A. Vasiliev, indicating a change in the approach to the delimitation of powers of state authorities of the Russian Federation and its subjects in the field of regulating local government. Comparing the current and previous revision of the law, the researcher comes to the following conclusion: "If the Federal Law of August 28, 1995 No. 154-ФЗ contained a list of relevant powers for each level of state power, the new federal law in general form determines the wide possibilities of federal state bodies The authorities in the legal regulation of local government issues. "

The comparative legal analysis of the Federal Laws on Local Government of 1995 and 2003 contributes to the identification of fundamental differences between these two laws, which in turn contributes to an understanding of the development trend in local governments in modern Russia.

In our opinion, the first thing that significantly distinguishes the above laws is established by the Federal Law on Local Self-Government 2003, the broad powers of federal state authorities and state authorities of the subjects of the Federation in the field of legal regulation of local self-government. The concept of local self-government has changed significantly changed, but the territorial foundations of local self-government have changed to the greatest extent. For example, the Federal Law on Local Self-Government 1995 established a single-level model of local self-government, in addition, did not allow the differences between municipalities and did not differentiate their powers. Fe-

the Derany Law on Local Self-Government 2003 provides for the need to create six species of municipalities: urban and rural settlements, municipal districts, urban districts, urban districts with intrauterine-based division, internal territories of the cities of federal significance. At the same time, the territories of urban and rural settlements are part of the territory of municipal regions, but are independent municipalities, i.e. In these territories, a two-level local self-government is carried out. The territories of urban districts are not part of the territories of municipal districts, there is a single-level local government. However, in 2014, changes were made to the specified law, according to which the legal status of the urban district was established with an urban division into areas. Thus, the two-level model of local self-government is established in urban districts, as a rule, these are large cities. True, a single-level urban district as a kind of municipality is preserved.

The peculiarity of the Federal Law on Local Self-Government is that each of the species of municipalities is intended to solve the local importance issues inherent in him, i.e. The local settlement issues do not coincide with the local importance of the municipal district and the urban district.

As noted by E.I. Kobyshev, "First, in accordance with the new municipal territorial structure of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, namely, with the introduction of a two-level territorial organization of local self-government, a redistribution of local issues between different types of municipalities occurred. Accordingly, more economic sustainable and a priori has a larger population, municipal entities are endowed with a large list of local issues.

Secondly, in accordance with the new Federal Law of 2003, municipal entities take to their fulfillment a significantly greater range of local issues than it was before. Moreover, certain questions of local significance before the adoption of Federal Law No. 131-FZ belonged to the competence of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. "

"Indeed, as noted in the scientific literature, the problem of legal technology of the law 2003 is that in it to ensure the solution of local issues (33-for urban and rural settlements, 28-for municipal districts, 38-for urban districts) established Total 8 clearly recorded powers of local authorities

management without indication of the belonging of the organs to one or another type of municipalities.

Also, the problem of the law 2003, as well as the 1995 Act, remains the lack of a clear distinction between local government and local issues (mainstream items), which creates some difficulties in practice. " For example, "in the Federal Law" On the General Principles of Local Self-Government Organization in the Russian Federation "(.) The" Organization of Events on Environmental Protection "," Content and construction of roads, bridges, other transport engineering are related to local importance issues. structures ", etc. It is obvious that subjects of reference and powerful authority are also expressed in this legal norm. From the point of view of supporters of this method of consolidation of competence, it is absolutely legitimate, because the authority must be "tied" to the subject (sphere) of the activities of the municipal authority. On the contrary, according to those who delimit the objects of reference and authority, this approach violates the legal purity of the legislative regulation of the competence. "

By specifying the specified lack of legal techniques of the Federal Law on Local Self-Government 2003. E.I. Kobysheva notes: "Federal Law" On General Principles. "2003 contains the norm according to which local governments may establish printed media for the publication of municipal legal acts, discuss the projects of municipal legal acts on local issues, bringing to the attention of residents of the municipality of official information on the socio-economic and cultural development of the municipal Education, the development of its public infrastructure and other official information (paragraph 7 of Part 1 of Article 17) (.) As can be seen, and specified in paragraph 7 of Part 1 of Art. The 17th law is formulated rather as a duty than the right of local governments. " Thus, it turns out that it is unclear the essence of the category "Powers of local self-government" and the essence of the category "local issues", their difference or identity.

There are other discussion provisions in these laws. This is the problem of distinguishing objects and powers between state authorities and local self-government. In this case, we are talking exclusively about their interactions. It should be recognized that in order to equip the unity of public authority in the Russian Federation, an urgent need for a rational distinction of items of reference and authority in the field of local self-government arises. It is this process that creates

the greatest number of problems, closely connected both with the relationship between state authorities and local governments, and local self-government bodies. The importance of this issue in 2003 was emphasized by V.V. Putin, who stated: "We must clarify the very concept and list of local issues. Some of them intersect with the tasks that are carried out by federal and regional government bodies. Others require tremendous material support and can be successfully implemented only with the assistance of subjects, and sometimes with direct support of the federation. "

In the Federal Law on Local Self-Government of 1995. Such a distinction was based on the principle of "residual competence". This means that the law determined the scope of the exclusive competence of the state authorities of the Russian Federation and the authorities of the constituent entities of the Federation, and everything that was not part of their powers could be fixed behind the local government (population and other institutions). Thus, the list of public powers of local self-government was not legally correctly defined and remained essentially open. Moreover, much, in particular, planted from what specific powers were fixed behind the subjects of the federation, and which are behind the Russian Federation. Thus, part 2 of paragraph 2 of Article 6 of the 1995 law provided that municipalities have the right to take "other issues" to their consideration, attributed to local issues of the laws of the federation subjects, as well as issues not excluded from their maintenance and not referred to other municipalities and government bodies.

The foundations of the delimitation of competence between government bodies and local governments, following the federal law, were identified in almost all subjects of the federation on local self-government. It should be recognized that most subjects of the federation, distinguishing the competence of state authorities and local government bodies, often simply duplicated the norms of the Federal Law on Local Self-Government in 1995. Consequently, the delimitation of powers was not detailed, i.e. There was no clear understanding of which the powers for whom were fixed. It turned out that at this level the competence of local governments and government bodies was differentiated only in the most general form.

Remuneration of competence between government bodies and local governments conducted by the Local Government Act

1995, he gave rise to a number of legal problems, the main of which seemed to be the problem of distinguishing the issues of local importance and issues that should be solved at the level of government bodies. For example, if the subject of the Russian Federation followed the Law on Local Self-Government in determining such issues, he simply duplicated its norms. If the act of a subject of the Russian Federation was attempted to independently determine the issues of local importance and issues related to the conduct of state authorities of the Federation's constituent entities, then it often arose problems in terms of compliance with the current federal legislation. Thus, it turned out, as if a vicious circle, which slowed down the development of municipalities, on the one hand, on the other hand, did not contribute to the establishment of interaction between the state and local government as a whole.

It was assumed that the Federal Law on Local Self-Government 2003 was supposed to solve the established problems in the implementation of local governments in the Russian Federation, primarily it concerns the task of delimiting competence in relation to the local level of power. In fact, in contrast to the 1995 law, in the new legislative act in Articles 14-16, an exhaustive list of issues of local settlements (urban and rural), urban districts and municipal districts is enshrined (Inter Vires - "can only be allowed by law ). In turn, under local importance, the legislator implies the "issues of direct provision of the vital activity of the population of the municipality", the solution of which is carried out by the population and (or) local governments independently. In addition, the Law specifies that local authorities are mandatory for the execution by local governments and officials of local self-government, and they are carried out at the expense of local budget revenues without taking into account subventions from higher budgets.

As it was already repeatedly noted earlier, according to the Constitution and the Federal Law "On the General Principles of the Organization of Local Government in the Russian Federation" (as 1995 and 2003), "local government is endowed with competence in two spheres: in matters of local and state importance." However, the problem of a clear distinction between the issues of "state" and "local" meaning is still not solved, which does not allow to unambiguously differentiate the powers to implement them. The fact is that all the questions that

we are resolved at the local level, the legislator is related to matters of local importance. On the one hand, it is quite logical because they are really relevant to ensuring the vital activity of the population of the municipality, on the other - the overwhelming majority of these issues will not be fundamentally purely local, since their content speaks of a national (national) meaning. Accordingly, in the presence of a limited local funding base, they cannot or may not be fully provided by municipal authorities, which, in turn, adversely affects the quality of the municipal services provided. So, as the authors of the monograph "Municipal reform in the Russian Federation: Legal and Economic Research" are rightly noted, a number of local issues "is formulated in such a way that they are becoming, in fact, jointly for state authorities (federal and regional) and for organs local self-government ... ".

To such questions, in fact, having the importance of the behavior-scale scale, and not only the municipal level, it is possible to include a sufficiently large list of so-called "local issues". For example, the organization and implementation of civil defense measures; protection of the population and territory from natural and technical emergencies; participation in the prevention and elimination of the effects of emergency situations; creation, content and organization of emergency-rescue formations; Participation in the prevention of terrorism and extremism.

Thus, in the interests of the clarity and clarity of the legal regulation of local self-government at the federal and regional levels, it is advisable to divide issues of state and local importance. However, from a scientific and theoretical point of view, for the further functioning of local governments, it is necessary to determine the form of distinguishing objects and powers between the relevant institutions of public authorities. The constitutional model of regulating the competence of the Federation and the subjects is based on the issues of exclusive federal maintenance (a group of issues in which the decision can be made exclusively by the Russian Federation), joint management of the federation and its subjects (a group of issues on which decisions can be accepted both the federation and subjects) and its own management of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation (decisions can be accepted - only by the subjects of the Federation).

In the theory of municipal law, proposals were formulated to overcome those problems

which generate (or provoke) fuzziness in the delimitation of the competence of state power and local self-government. For example, A.A. Sergeev believes that "the way to overcome them could be the introduction of the concept of" joint management of state authorities and local governments ". The federal legislator did not introduce such a thing, obviously, believing that it does not fit into the local government model, elected today in the Russian Federation. Such a concept was legally enshrined in a number of Subjects of Fed-War.

In addition, the quoted author believes that such a system of relations is actually being implemented at present: "Issues of education, health care, social protection of the population, the protection of public order, etc. Really are today in joint management of the state and municipal authorities. Municipal authorities engaged in these issues actually have double submission - the local administration and the relevant government agencies, are included in the unified vertical of the bodies who provide relevant issues. "

It seems that the generalizations of A.A. Sergeeva can wear a debate. The theory of constitutional law is stated that "the distinctive feature of this method of delimitation of competence is that in its framework it is very difficult to carry out a clear boundary between the areas of joint management and the exclusive management of the subjects of the Federation. Formally-constitutionally divided these spheres, but in practice the border between them, as a rule, "drifts" in one, then in the other direction. "

It is necessary to recognize that the overwhelming majority of local issues have a close relationship with the subjects of joint management of the Russian Federation and subjects in its composition, which received the consolidation in Article 72 of the 1993 Constitution. Analysis of this article allows us to conclude that there is some "intersection" of spheres Joint management of the Russian Federation, its subjects and local issues. This once again talks about the complexity of the detailed differentiation of objects of reference not only at the federal and regional level, but also at the municipal level of public authority. At the same time, it is quite obviously a close interaction of public cases with local issues.

It is obvious that the questions that are nationwide and in view of this important circumstance - the global cannot be solved in the framework of joint ventures, since they - by definition - are not only local issues. In this case, we are talking from such

questions as: organization, content and development of municipal institutions of education and health care; Certain areas of management (development of education standards, improving the diagnosis and prevention of occupational diseases, the establishment of qualification requirements, retraining and certification of employees of municipal institutions of education and healthcare), etc.

If society is important to reduce the influence of state institutions to the municipal bodies of the public authority, then the presence of a "common area of \u200b\u200breference" can hardly contribute to this, since the indicated legal structure will certainly create the basis of their active interference in joint competence. Moreover, lead to dominance in solving the issues of the local value of the state, which, beyond any doubt, has large financial and administrative resources. Therefore, it is obvious that the items of joint management can create a rather fertile ground for centralization (nationalization) of municipal management. Of course, it is impossible to assume that this kind of differentiation is generally unacceptable, but in this case we are talking about the municipal level of management. Institutions of local self-government objectively cannot be in equal conditions with the federation and its subjects, since these are not state public authorities, and the concept of joint activities is based on the principle of clear distinction of objects of reference and the authority between the actors of the relation of the same level, i.e. between government bodies.

Thus, it seems that the basis of the interaction of state authorities and institutions of local self-government should be the principle of maximum clear distinction between functions and powers. Each level of public authorities should have a strictly determined scope of objects and powers, resources to address issues into it, and should be responsible for the unfair realization of specific tasks. It is impossible not to recognize that the Federal Law on Local Self-Government of 2003, in contrast to the previous law, establishes a very detailed list of local issues. At the same time, as one of the guarantees of establishing the competence of local authorities to fulfill their own powers, on the principles of independence, the acting act regulates that the list of local issues cannot be changed otherwise than by applying relevant changes and additions. However, the document does not contain clear procedural norms regarding the transfer of state authority.

It seems that the issues of delimitation com-

petzing between state authorities and local self-government, as well as between local self-government bodies of different levels, are not fully regulated in the legislation. Thus, it is necessary to further and comprehensively develop the legal norms regulating the division of public competence: "Constitutional and legal regulation in the Russian Federation creates the necessary legal space for management activities, both throughout the state and in the territory of a separate region or municipality. In solving issues that are in joint management of two and even three levels of power (for example, education or health, pension provision or care of veterans), although all difficulties are not overcome, but has already accumulated significant experience of delimitation of powers, their transfer to that level The authorities that seem optimal for their implementation. Developed certain interaction mechanisms, which in some cases involve the use and administrative levers. This does not interfere with the organizational and functional independence of federal, regional and municipal authorities on issues in exceptional administration of each of these levels of government. Thus, the quoted scientist is very true, - at the level of the legislation, consolidated to a certain extent, and in practice a particular relation to the "autonomy" and "dependence" was partially implemented. However, this does not deny the need for further theoretical understanding of this problem. " . An important role in this area of \u200b\u200bsocial relations may also belong to the contractual mechanism of delimitation of competence, which, unfortunately, is not very developed.

Compared to the Federal Law on Local Self-Government of 1995, the Federal Law on Local Self-Government 2003 regulates the structure of local governments, including compulsory: representative body, head of the municipality, head of the local administration, local administration. In the previous law, only election bodies applied to the obligatory bodies of local self-government. It seems that the federal law on local self-government 2003 is unconditional, aims to create a more rigid and unified system of municipal authorities throughout the country. In addition, in this regard, it should be noted that if the Federal Law on Local Self-Government, the existence of dozens of possible schemes for the organization of municipal authorities was allowed, now the current law limits

the possibilities of municipalities in this field. For example, the law regulates the system of local government agencies in detail, up to the determination of the number of representative bodies of local self-government and the order of classes of the head of the local administration. In addition, the law regulates a number of issues that have not previously reflected in federal legislation. First of all, this applies to the chapter that determines the procedure for empowering local self-government to individual government powers.

Later changes are also worthy of optimizing the management structure of local governments. So, by federal law of 29.11.2010 No. 315 in paragraph three of part 2 of Article 34 of the Federal Law No. 131-FZ, changes were made, according to which, from January 1, 2011, the charters of the municipal district and settlement, which is the administrative center of the municipal district may be provided The formation of the local administration of the municipal district to which the fulfillment of powers of the local administration of the specified settlement is assigned. In this case, in the settlement, which is the administrative center of the municipal district, the local administration is not formed.

To the above, it should be added that according to the municipal reform of 2014, the subjects of the Federation received the right through the adoption of the law to establish the municipalities for the municipalities model of the local government, divide the city districts to new municipalities, consolidate additional issues of local importance to the municipal entities, to participate in the selection of candidates for The position of head of the local administration. Thus, as a result of the reform, the definition of the model of the organization of local self-government has become the prerogative of the legislative body of the subject of the federation.

The chapter has changed, regulating issues of attracting elected officials and local governments. As I.A. notes Alekseev ". First of all, I would like to note that the chapter under consideration increased by its volume (in the 1995 law, it included 6 articles) - in the new law 9 of the article. But this is not the main feature, since it is important not the number of articles, but their quality composition and the greatest coverage of the legal relations they regulate. So, in the new law they really appeared. This article 73 "Responsibility of the representative body of the municipality before the state." Further, Article 74 "The responsibility of the head of the municipality and the head of the local administration before

state. " And, at the end of the "revolutionary" article in its meaning and content is Article 75 "Temporary exercise by state authorities of individual powers of local governments", which lists cases when the individual authority of local governments can be temporarily implemented by state authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation. " .

However, the revolutionism of the decision of the federal government does not end, although it is postponed for a while. For example, among the controversial changes in the Federal Law on Local Self-Government, which received a critical assessment in legal literature, it is possible to distinguish the amendments to the law submitted by the Federal Law of 07.05.2009 No. 90-FZ in the form of amendments to Article 74: "The responsibility of the head of the municipal Education and heads of the local administration before the state "undertend 74.1" Deleting the head of the municipality in resignation ". This change was the implementation of the Presidential Initiative D.A. Medvedva, according to which "representative bodies of local governments should be able to more effectively control, and if possible and remove the leaders of the municipalities." Making data changes are quite widely covered in legal literature, so we note only that in our opinion it would be necessary to legally regulate the accounting of the opinion of the population when sending the chapter in resignation.

The Law on Local Self-Government 2003 significantly increased the control functions of state authorities for local government. Of course, the provisions of the law establishing ad-minsitarian control over local governments testify to strengthening the elements of centralization in the Russian Federation. However, as noted above, these provisions do not contradict world practice. It seems that the provisions of Article 21 of the specified law says that "state authorities monitor the implementation by the local government authorities of individual state powers, as well as the use of material and financial resources provided for these purposes," are a vivid example of administrative decentralization. In turn, it turns out that local government in the Russian Federation operates on the basis of the principles of decentralization, but on the other hand, the intervention of state authorities into local self-government is allowed in strictly limited law. This kind of control and determined by law interference in local government is present in most European states.

As A.N. rightly notes The costumes "In 2014, the reform of local self-government was carried out in Russia, associated with the strengthening of the trend of centralization, by building the" vertical of power "in the subjects of the federation and increase their role in the legal regulation of local government."

In this regard, it is impossible to disagree with the position of V.I. Goncharova, who writes: "Of course, the government authorities should have the right to control the execution by local self-government issues of their competence and the possibility of operational influence in the improper performance of mandatory functions, and even more so - with financial and other violations. However, everything should be equilibrium. And in the control powers, too, since "excessive" control in practice can lead to a violation of local government rights. "
