Kallagov T.E. The forming and development of municipal service during the local self-government system reforms in modern Russia

Abstract: The subject of this research is the study of the defining traits of legal regulation of municipal service in Russia during the period of active local self-government reforms. The definition of modern local self-government formed along with the affirmation and development of the democratic institutes, the interrelation between the state and the population being the cornerstone for the theories that gained footing in this period. Partial separation of society from public authority and its organizational autonomy in solving local issues became the basis of forming for existing models of local self-government, the key traits of which were established in international Law, as well — Law like the European Charter of Local Self-government. The methods employed in this work include the general scientific dialectics method, and the consequent specific science methods, such as systemic and structural, concrete sociological, legal technique, legal historical, comparative Law methods. The usage of these methods allowed the author to examine the intended subject as a whole comprehensively and objectively. The author draws the conclusion that government and municipal service Law violations involve a broad spectrum of acts that are performed by individuals that occupy positions of government and municipal service and who directly threaten the regular, legal activities of the public administration apparatus. The most dangerous violations are those prohibited by Criminal Law — crimes against state authority, public interests and the interests of state and municipal service.
