On the problems of creating effective municipal authorities in Russia

The aim of the work is to examine the issues of creation, planning and organization of activities of municipal authorities in the context of minimization of problem aspects throughout the activities of the authorities. An analytical study with the use of axiomatic and deductive scientific methods was conducted, in the course of which a significant number of negative aspects of local authorities’ activity was discovered. In order to organize the most productive activities, a number of problems were outlined and analyzed, both in the financial and lawmaking and executive process, which can themselves be a direction for further research already in the context of public authorities. The measures that must be taken to organize the most effective work of the municipal authorities, both in relation to the administered territory and to its population, were identified.
