In her research Sokolova carries out a comparative analysis of definitions of municipal control in applicable legislatino and draft law offered by the Government of the Russian Federatino and passed in its first reading by the State Duma. The author sequentially correlates a new definition of municipal control in a draw law and defines problems that do not relate to the matters of local significance. When it comes to the analysis of a new definition of municipal control, the author focuses on prospects of attributing administrative preclusive and remedial measures to municipal control. The main research method used by the author is the comparative law analysis of the current provisions of laws on municipal control, and these of the draft law. The scientific novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the author defines internal contradictions of the draft law that extends the scope and definition of municipal control and redistribute the burden of application of administrative preclusive and remedial measures from state authorities to local self-government. The author also emphasizes the uncertainty of the prohibition of municipal control outside the limited list of the rights of local self-government to carry out municipal control regarding matters of local significance. 

Abstract: The subject of the article is the process of formation of a set of indicators reflecting dynamics and character of corruption offences in the system of public and municipal service. The author analyzes the existing approaches to the assessment of corruption level taking into account the international and Russian practice. The main attention is paid to the classification of indicators based on corruption crimes revealed by corruption prevention units of public and local authorities. These offences rate among disciplinary delinquencies, and the proposed indicators reflect the level of anticorruption discipline in public and local authorities. The author applies general philosophical methods (the systems method, analysis, synthesis, analogy), traditional legal methods (formal-logical) and statistical methods. The author concludes that it is necessary to connect corruption indicators with the formation of anticorruption policy and efficiency assessment of anticorruption measures, which corresponds with the methodology developed by the Audit Chamber of the Russian Federation. The novelty of the research lies in the development of suggestions about the application of corruption indicators for development and (or) correction of targeted anticorruption measures in public or local authorities.
