The Development of the Constitutional Principle of Involvement of Government Authorities in the Establishment of Local Self-Government Authorities

Taking into account the amendments made to the Constitution of Russia, approaches to the development of legislation on the participation of state authorities in the formation of local self-government bodies are presented This policy began to take shape simultaneously with the discussion of amendments. The first such step was the introduction of approval of the appointment of officials of local administrations that carry out management in the field of education. This regulation does not meet the requirements of completeness, and given that only one area of municipal administration is selected, it is not systematic. With this in mind, criteria have been developed that allow for the development of specific participation mechanisms. They apply the legal positions of the constitutional Court of Russia. Based on these criteria, the areas of management in which it is proposed to develop the principle under consideration are identified.
