Issues of Implementing Municipal Governance in the Framework of Public Authority of a Constituent Entity of the Russian Federation

The author attempts to investigate the dualistic character and contradictory nature of municipal authority within the public power system of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation. The possibility for the free exercise of authoritative powers at the municipal level, based on the principles of legality, democracy, and freedom, is limited by institutional factors (insufficient development of the mechanism for forming municipal authorities, inadequacies in the content of regulatory legal acts concerning the competences and powers of local self-government bodies), organizational factors (imperfections in the mechanism for delineating powers between state authorities and local self-government bodies, and contradictions within the territorial organization system of local self-government), as well as resource factors (lack of resources for effective management and the exercise of powers at the local level, and inadequacies in the normative foundation governing the financial bases of local self-government). Additionally, the author emphasizes the significance of analyzing the transformation of legislation following the amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 2020. The paper also examines philosophical and legal contradictions inherent in the nature of municipal authority, as reflected in its dualistic character. The author concludes regarding the necessity for improving legal regulation and seeking a balance between the unity of public power and the autonomy of local self-government.
