Alpatov, Y.M. Adoption of the Constitution of the Russian Federation - the start of a new era in development of municipal self-government.

Abstract: The adoption of the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 1993 can with good reason be considered the beginning of a new stage in the formation of urban self-government in Russia. Naturally, the very format of the Constitution of the Russian Federation does not allow to formulate the issues considered in it with sufficient detail for practical application. Therefore, speaking, including about local self-government, the developers of the Constitution of the Russian Federation limited themselves to introducing fundamental principles into its text, taking into account which the relevant legislation should have been adopted…The implementation of these principles in Russian legislation is considered by Yu.M. Alpatov.
