Zanko T.A. On the question of correlation between the concepts of “civil servant”, “person holding public office”, “official”, and “officer”

Abstract: This article presents the analysis and comparison of the concepts of “civil servant”, “person holding public office”, “official”, and “officer” based on the research of normative legal acts on the questions of organization and service in the public offices of the Russian Federation, criminal and administrative legislation, legal precedent, and historical documents. This work is aimed at sequential determination of the specifics of the aforementioned concepts, formation of their proper legal understanding based on practical situations and examples of organization of the system of public service. The proper legally determined usage of the concepts of “civil servant”, “person holding public office”, “official”, and “officer” will allow avoiding mistakes and confusion in public speeches, as well as in the political legal texts, especially in the analysis or commentary on the past legislation pertaining to organization and service in the public office.
