Abstract: The article considers particular elements of legal regulation of public-private partnership in modern Russia. The authors note that the latest federal legislation, unlike the one previously applied in the constituent units of the Russian Federation in this sphere, contains ungrounded restrictions. In particular, the Federal Law of 13 July 2015 No 224 “On public-private partnership, municipal-private partnership in the Russian Federation and introduction of amendments to particular statutory acts of the Russian Federation” contains the restriction of participation of foreign citizens in the relations, regulated by the law, as well as self-employed persons and associations of persons acting without forming a legal entity by a simple partnership agreement (joint cooperation agreement). The research methodology is based on traditional principles and methods of jurisprudence: dialectics, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, etc. The analysis helps the authors eliminate this restriction: admit foreign citizens to participation in public-private and municipal-private partnership and allow self-employed persons acting without forming a legal entity to participate in local and municipal partnerships.
