Gerasimetsa, B. Interaction between the civil society and government bodies in the Chechen Republic.

Abstract: The history of Russia includes varying experience in the sphere of social relations, and at certain period they gained some features of civil society institutions. Today formation of a civil society is a topical issue, since in the XXI century the state is inclined towards democratic conflict-resolution principles. In order to cast light upon the relations between the civil society and government bodies, it is necessary to establish its nature, to understand in which conditions a civil society is possible in the Russian Federation, and in the Chechen Republic in particular. Having systematized and generalized possible definitions of civil society, one may characterize it as a society, where cultural, legal, political and economic relations are developed, actors and institutions of the civil society interact with the state, and they are not dependent on it. Civil society forms developed legal relations, which are rooted in government. This is an ever ongoing process of improvement, and it has no final stage. The civil society may only exist in a rule-of-law state. Here Russia has to face some difficulties, since the rule-of-law state can hardly be found in the conditions of unemployment, corruption, polarized society, selfishness in many spheres of society and underdeveloped political culture.
