New Contours of Transformation of Public Power in the Russian Federation

Constitutional innovations required revision of a large part of legislation, first of all, the “basic” federal laws of October 6, 1999 No. 184-FZ “On general principles of organization of Legislative (Representative) and Executive state authorities of the Subjects of the Russian Federation” and of October 6, 2003 No. 131-FZ “On general principles of organization of local Self-Government in the Russian Federation”. Currently the process of transformation of public power in Russia has started. The recently adopted Federal Law No. 414-FZ of December 21, 2021 “On the General Principles of the Organization of Public Power in the Subjects of the Russian Federation” is being implemented in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. At the same time, the reform of public authorities at the local level is being developed. Consideration of the project of Federal Law No. 40361-8 “On the general principles of the organization of local self-government in the unified system of public authority” has been postponed. Because of the difficult political and economic situation, the creation of a new organizational management system for regions and municipalities will ensure the development of territories, promptly correcting the process using modern information technologies.
