Abstract: The article is devoted to the study of the place and role of parliamentary associations of the subjects of the Russian Federation in the formation of a unified system of interregional integration at the initial stage of the federal reform in 2000-2005. The object of the study is the parliamentary associations of the subjects of the Russian Federation, the subject is the process of including parliamentary associations in the emerging system of interregional integration and cooperation. The following aspects of the problem are considered: the formation of state policy regarding interregional cooperation of the subjects of the Federation and the participation of parliamentary associations in this process; the organization of interaction between the Federation Council, presidential plenipotentiaries in federal districts and parliamentary associations; the conditions and main directions of activity of interparliamentary associations in the context of the redistribution of powers on subjects of joint jurisdiction of the center and regions. General scientific and special historical research methods were used as the methodological basis of the work: methods of analysis and synthesis, historical-genetic, problem-analytical and historical-comparative methods, as well as the method of structural and functional analysis. The author concludes that the potential of parliamentary associations operating in Russia since the early 1990s has been used to form a system of managed interregional integration. They were included in the joint legislative process on the subjects of joint jurisdiction of the center and the subjects of the Federation by establishing cooperation with the Federation Council and exercising general control over their activities by the presidential Plenipotentiary representative in the federal districts. The study showed that in response to the centralizing policy of the federal center, the parliamentary associations operating in 2000-2005, in order to promptly respond to the requests of the federal center, centralize their organizational foundations and transfer the main levers of management of associations to the heads of legislative authorities of the regions. It is noted that under the conditions of legislative restrictions, the activities of associations are mainly concentrated around issues that are jointly managed by the center and the regions. At the same time, their ability to influence the legislative process is significantly reduced, as well as to defend the consolidated position of the legislative bodies of state power of the subjects of the Federation before the federal authorities.

Abstract: The article is devoted to the analysis of the formation of the organizational foundations of interparliamentary associations established by the parliaments of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in the 1990s. The object of the study is interparliamentary cooperation developing between the legislative authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, and the subject is the interparliamentary associations formed by them. The purpose of the study is to identify the features of the organization of interregional associations of legislative authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation, which are the basis for the formation of horizontal federal relations in the 1990s. Historical-genetic, problem-analytical and historical-comparative methods, as well as the method of structural-functional analysis are used as the methodological basis of the work. Attention is drawn to the fact that at the first stage of the formation of inter–parliamentary associations in 1994, the association became the most popular form of organizational cooperation, and at the second stage, since 1997, the council. The associations were created as consultative and advisory bodies implementing the function of coordinating legislative activities within their own jurisdiction and authority in order to create a single legislative space of the subjects of the Federation of one macro-region. The formation of councils was carried out with the aim of developing legislative initiatives within the joint jurisdiction of the center and the regions concerning the implementation of economic reform. It was concluded that the organizational structure of associations, in general, correlates with the generally accepted standard of activity of the corresponding form of interparliamentary association, defining and streamlining the content and dynamics of the processes of its legislative activity and ensuring the implementation of the goals. Whereas the constituent entities of the Federation – members of the soviets, defining the status of associations as organizations, thereby formally positioned their significance and weight, but in fact focused on building individual relations with the federal center "vertically". Thus, only the association model in the 1990s ensured the formation of the institutional foundations of "horizontal federalism" in Russia.

Abstract: The article is devoted to the study of the practical experience of the activities of the associations of inter-parliamentary cooperation of the regions of the Russian Federation in the 1990s and the implementation of strategies for using their integrative potential. The object of the study is inter–parliamentary associations, the subject is the strategies of integration cooperation formed by them. The purpose of the work is to analyze the use of the integration potential of the activities of the associations of interparliamentary cooperation of the regions of the Russian Federation in the 1990s. Attention is drawn to the fact that inter–parliamentary associations - associations and councils formed various integration strategies, which were formed depending on the goals and objectives of interaction declared by the associations. The organization of the activities of interparliamentary cooperation associations was aimed at developing joint solutions, the form and content of which depended on whether the issue belonged to the appropriate level of competence – the exclusive jurisdiction of the Russian Federation, the joint jurisdiction of the Russian Federation and its regions, as well as the exclusive jurisdiction of the regions of the Federation. It is established that the implementation of the strategies of the associations was carried out by resolving common problems for the participants, such as: the development of model laws and legislative initiatives, generalization of law enforcement practice, as well as support for individual initiatives that are key for the regions of the Federation – a member of the association. The content of the cooperation of the councils was mainly related to the coordination by the subjects of the Federation of legislative support for the implementation of socio-economic development programs of the regions of the Federation. A feature of the activities of interparliamentary cooperation associations was the formation of a consolidated position on rule-making, which falls within the competence of the exclusive jurisdiction of the Russian Federation, as well as the development of unified positions on the socio-political events taking place in the country.

Abstract:  
The subject of this research is the conceptual grounds of formation of the legislative coverage system aimed at organization and functioning of the administrative autonomy of regions and districts at the initial stage of the establishment of modern Russian statehood during the 1990-1992. Special attention is given to the development of the legal model of interaction between the legislative and executive branches in districts and regions; integration of the principles of sovereignty of the congresses and division of powers in the concepts and projects of organization of the regional government agencies; as well as characteristic of the key stages of legislative regulation of the regional systems of administration. The conducted analysis allows concluding that in the early 1990’s, the formulation of legal theoretical grounds of organization of the administrative autonomy in districts and regions was associated with the creation of the model of cooperation between the representative and executive  authorities based on the core principle of Soviet statehood – the sovereignty of the Congresses. The need for modernizing the acting Soviet administrative legal system in districts and regions led to the gradual integration of the new institutions – local self-governance, executive authority, and chief executive realized within the system of separation of powers. As a result, using the transitional and emergency legislation, were created the systems of executive and representative branches of authority, which functioned based on the various conceptual grounds.
 

Abstract: The subject of this research is the conceptual grounds of formation of the basic system of interaction be between the legislative and executive branches of government in constituents of the Russian Federation, formulated in the process of adopting the framework federal law that establishes the general principles of its organization over the period of 1994-1999. Special attention is given to the problems of participation of the President, Government, and Federal Assembly in development of the framework concept of regional administration, formation of the theoretical provisions of the two basic draft laws – governmental and parliamentary, which consolidate the conceptually different approaches towards organization of cooperation between the regional authorities, as well as political legal peculiarities of preparing the final version of the bill. The theoretical foundation of the research leans on the theories of modernization, separation of powers, and federalism. The conducted analysis allows concluding that during the period of 1994-1999, the formulation of the unified legal conceptual grounds for organizing the legislative and executive branches of government in subjects of the Russian Federation, was realized in accordance with the principles of separation of powers and demarcation of the competencies and authorities between the center and the regions. In determination of the basic model of organization of regional government under the conditions of establishment of political system of the Russian Federation and its subjects, the author detected the significant contradictions between the participants of the lawmaking process, which allowed identifying the general conceptual grounds of the law “On the General Principles of Organization of the Legislative (Representative) and Executive Bodies of the State Power of the Subjects of the Russian Federation”, although it did not determine the functional dependency and interaction between the legislative and executive branches of government in the regions within the system of restrictions and counterweights.
