The article analyzes changes introduced to the current Russian legislation after the constitutional amendments adopted in 2020. The analysis is conducted in relation to the previously issued rulings of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation concerning several isolated aspects of organization and implementation of the uniform public authority system in the Russian Federation. Upon thorough study of the Federal Law On the federal territory Sirius No. 437-FL of 22 December 2020, as well as of the draft bill On general principles of organization of public authority in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation authors outline arising questions and, more specifically, possible difficulties in organization and implementation of the public authority in the federal territories of the Russian Federation.
The analysis is given on the correlation of state power and local government within the public power system of Russian Federation. The authors note that the interaction of relevant elements can be described as a dualistic model, based on a combination of centralization and decentralization principles. It is maintained, that the principle for interaction between state authorities and local government, especially in light of recent constitutinal amendments, should rest in clear delineation of functions and powers, excluding their arbitrary and unreasonable redistribution. It is also noted that for the effective functioning of local government, interaction between central and local authorities is important, based on the support of the latter by the state. State intervention implies the concept of rational centralization, which envisages strengthening state role in the implementation of both organizational and functional foundations of local government in strictly limited cases and without violating Art. 12 of the Russian Constitution.
