STRUCTURAL ASPECTS OF REFORMING LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT IN THE LIGHT OF AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Abstract

The article analyzes the problems, and also considers the main financial and managerial results of the reform of local self-government (LSG) in Russia. The emphasis is made on the analysis of the features of the current stage of the reform, which started in 2020 with the introduction of the new version of the Constitution of the Russian Federation of provisions regarding local self-government. It is shown that for 30 years it has not been possible either politically or economically to reform LSG into a real and independent instrument of local self-government.
