Introduction.

This article is devoted to the analysis of problems and prospects of interaction of subjects of public and state control in the Russian Federation. The issues of the organization and implementation of public control in the Russian Federation are studied in the works of V. V. Grib, [6, pp. 154-160] O. V. Burdonova, [2, pp. 10-14] L. I. Kovaleva, [3, pp. 72-75] E. V. Matveeva, [10] Selivanova E. S., [12] Starchikova V. V., [15] M. A. Kilesso, [8, pp. 24-30] as well as a number of other authors. The analysis of the essence and directions of the development of state control in Russia is devoted to the works of M. A. Lapina, [9, pp. 152-157] S. V. Stepashin [14, pp. 15-17] and a number of other scientists. Of great interest are the works devoted to the comparison of the essence, content and directions of the implementation of state and public control in the Russian Federation, V. N. Anikienko, [1, pp. 32-37] A. D. Dokhnich, [7, pp. 772-775] A. A. Spiridonova. [13, pp. 33-45]

However, the share of works affecting the problems and prospects of interaction between subjects of public and state control in Russia is relatively small. [5, pp. 59-61]

At the same time, this issue is particularly relevant due to the fact that: first, the subjects of public control have, in our opinion, insufficient of power, which is generally, Advisory, information, Advisory, auxiliary, etc. in nature, which requires the timely delivery of the final documents and materials prepared by the subjects of public control on the results of the conducted measures of social control and contain violations of the rights and freedoms of man and citizen, the rights and lawful interests of public associations and other non-profit organizations, state regulatory bodies (for example, bodies of Prosecutor's office of the Russian Federation) for the implementation of the latest relevant response measures by the government; second, the efficiency and effectiveness of the measures carried out public control largely depends on how the final documents and materials prepared by the subjects of public control on the results of the activities of public control was taken into account by public authorities, state and municipal organizations, and other bodies and organizations under the Federal laws of certain public authority, in relation to the activities, acts and decisions which were carried out these measures of social control, in his work (in this case, it is the state regulatory bodies have sufficient authority to verify the extent of accounting in the work of social control proposals, recommendations and conclusions contained in the above documents and materials); thirdly, without the participation of bodies of state control is not possible criminal and administrative responsibility of officials of public control, which committed an offense identified in the course of activities of public control; fourth, the activity of the subjects of state and public control has a total focus on the prevention, suppression, prevention of violations of the rights and freedoms of man and citizen, the rights and lawful interests of public associations and other non-profit organizations.  This circumstance determined the choice of the topic of this scientific research.

The main text.

The events of recent years have shown that the risk of the emergence and development of global military-political conflicts with the involvement of a significant number of states in them has increased enormously, the preservation and development of which directly depends on the degree, on the one hand, of the development of democratic principles in public administration, and on the other hand, the implementation, protection and protection of the system of constitutional principles (primarily in total - legality, responsibility, transparency of the formation and functioning of public authorities, ethics and professionalism of their officials).

In this regard, the role of the system of guarantees for the implementation of the above-mentioned constitutional principles is increasing, since the real, and not fictitious, implementation of these principles entails an increase in the legitimacy of the apparatus of public power in the eyes of the people, which serves to strengthen the mechanism of public power.

As guarantees of the implementation, protection and protection of constitutional principles in the Russian Federation are: a system of constitutional prohibitions on the misappropriation of powers, their retention, usurpation of power; institutional guarantees in the person of individual public authorities, whose main powers are to ensure constitutional principles (for example, the President of the Russian Federation is the guarantor of the country's Constitution, rights and freedoms the mechanism of checks and balances, through which the impossibility of usurpation of power, misappropriation of powers, their retention in the hands of individual public authorities, as well as their officials is ensured.

The most important basic guarantees of the implementation, protection and protection of constitutional principles in Russia are the institutions of state and public control, to understand the essence of which requires an analysis of their concepts.

Common to both types of control is the function implemented through their implementation. As M. A. Lapina rightly notes: "The control function not only ensures legality, compliance with mandatory requirements, but also provides for verification of the achievement of the model laid down in the legal norm, as well as analysis of the actual state of compliance with the rules of conduct established by the norm, the results obtained. After that, the control body analyzes the conformity of the actual state, the ratio of the results of a certain legal norm to the goals." [9, p. 153]

However, state control differs from public control in its subject composition, objects, content, methods of implementation, forms.

Subjects of state control are always only public authorities. In the Russian Federation, they are of two levels: federal state authorities and state authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation. The subject composition of public control is presented in accordance with Article 9 of Federal Law No. 212-FZ of July 21, 2014 "On the Basics of Public Control in the Russian Federation": 1) mandatory subjects, which include: the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation (for example, the Public Chamber of Russia); 2) subjects of public control created in the cases and in the manner provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation (in particular, public control groups).

The object composition of state and public control in the Russian Federation also differs. If the objects of the latter include state and local government bodies, their officials, municipal and state institutions, as well as bodies and organizations endowed with separate public powers, then the list of objects of state control is much broader – it can include any individuals and legal entities, as well as public authorities, their officials.

The content of state control is much broader than the content of public control. It can cover all aspects of the organization and activities of legal entities and public authorities, as well as the life of individuals. Public control, in fact, is reduced to monitoring the activities of the above-mentioned objects of public control, as well as the analysis and public assessment of the acts issued by them and the decisions taken.

The list of forms of public control is quite limited. According to Article 18 of Federal Law No. 212-FZ of July 21, 2014, they include: public monitoring; public inspection; public expertise; other forms that do not contradict this Federal Law; forms of interaction of civil society institutions with state bodies and local self-government bodies (public discussions, public (public) hearings and other forms of interaction). In turn, the state control bodies are practically not limited in the forms of control.

Methods of state control in the Russian Federation are also much broader than the list of methods of public control, which is due to the exceptionally weak powers of subjects of public control, which are generally aimed at preventing and preventing violations of current legislation, as well as human and civil rights and freedoms in the activities and acts of objects of public control, but practically have no real powers to independently suppress specified offenses. However, subjects of public control have the right to use a wide range of methods to analyze information and documents that they have received both as a result of public control measures and at the request of objects of public control.

In the course of their activities, subjects of public and state control interact with each other, since, firstly, they can act as objects of control for each other, secondly, the need for their interaction is directly provided for in the current legislation, thirdly, the weakness of the powers of subjects of public control requires for effective and full implementation measures of public control over the participation of public authorities in this process, as well as their officials (for example, on the basis of article 10 of the above-mentioned Federal Law).

In the Russian scientific and educational literature, there are several approaches to determining the nature of the interaction of subjects of public and state control in Russia, the mutual rights and obligations of its participants.

According to the first approach, subjects of public and state control are equal participants in this interaction. [13, pp. 33-45] However, an analysis of federal legislation on public control shows that the legislator has significantly limited the powers of subjects of public control, although he has secured a number of mutual rights and obligations of subjects of public control and public authorities, which include subjects of state control (for example, for providing information).

Proponents of the second approach believe that subjects of state control are priority participants in interaction with subjects of public control. [11, pp. 152-157] They base their position on the fact that, firstly, the Constitution of the Russian Federation has not fixed the institution of public control, which consequently seriously reduces the legal status of subjects of public control and the level of their importance both in the eyes of the people and public authorities, secondly, public authorities, in accordance with Article 16 of Federal Law No. 212-FZ of July 21, 2014, take into account the proposals, recommendations and conclusions contained in the final documents prepared based on the results of public control (that is, the law does not oblige them to comply in full).

However, in our opinion, this approach is not justified due to the fact that according to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the multinational people of the country are the bearer of sovereignty and the only source of power in the state, exercising their powers both directly (for example, through the institutions of free elections and referendums) and indirectly (in particular, through the activities of bodies public authorities and their officials). At the same time, delegated powers, as well as the activities of public and quasi-public authorities involved in the implementation of direct forms of democracy (for example, election commissions), need to be controlled by the people. Therefore, the institute of public control acts as the most important legal guarantee in the implementation of the constitutional principles of democracy and the participation of Russian citizens in the management of state affairs. And, consequently, the status of subjects of public control in interaction with subjects of state control is higher.

According to other authors, subjects of public control exercising their powers in full compliance with the current legislation have a priority position in relation to state control bodies, [5, pp. 59-61] with which they interact. Thus, A.V. Novikov rightly notes that "developed public control is a "lever" for the full functioning of the state, which manifests itself in a complex system of checks and balances in the implementation of the principle of separation of powers, in the openness and accessibility of state bodies, in their accountability to the whole people, in their interaction with the media, civil society institutions". [11, p. 23]

It seems that effective interaction of subjects of public and state control in Russia is hindered by a number of problems, among which the following can be attributed:

Firstly, the institution of public control is not formalized in the Constitution of the Russian Federation. It does not provide a mechanism for interaction with public authorities, including state control bodies. This circumstance significantly reduces the level of influence of this institution of civil society in the eyes of officials of public authorities (including subjects of state control).

Secondly, in the legislation on public control, the powers of its subjects, as we have already noted earlier, are not sufficient, which hinders, on the one hand, the effective and full-fledged organization and functioning of public control, and on the other hand, interaction with subjects of state control in the country.

Thirdly, in the legislation fixing the organization and activity of subjects of state control, in most cases there are no provisions regulating the procedure for their interaction with subjects of public control. Thus, in particular, Federal Constitutional Law No. 1-FKZ of February 26, 1997 "On the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation" does not contain a mechanism for interaction with subjects of public control. This circumstance reduces the effectiveness of interaction between subjects of state and public control.

Fourth, the current criminal and administrative legislation does not fix the measures of criminal and administrative responsibility for the actions (inaction) of public authorities, including the state control, for countering the legitimate actions of subjects of public control.

Fifth, to date, the mechanism of information and communication interaction between subjects of public and state control is insufficiently developed in the Russian Federation. This is largely due to the low level of funding for the organization and activities of subjects of public control, many of which do not even have their own websites (including on the Internet).

Conclusion.

To resolve the above-mentioned problems, as well as to ensure the effective work of subjects of public and state control, it is necessary to implement a system of measures, including by making appropriate amendments and additions both to the legislation on public control and to regulatory legal acts regulating the organization and activities of subjects of state control.

First, it is necessary to consolidate the institution of public control in the Constitution of the Russian Federation, detailing the mechanism of interaction of subjects of public control with public authorities, including subjects of state control. Alternatively, it is necessary to use the positive experience of the organization and functioning of the institute of people's control of power in the USSR. [4, pp. 72-87] So, in particular, the Constitution of the USSR of 1977 stipulated that "the organs of national control combine state control with public control ... control the implementation of state plans and tasks; fight against violations of state discipline, manifestations of localism, departmental approach to business, mismanagement and waste, red tape and bureaucracy; contribute to the improvement of the work of the state apparatus" (article 92).

Secondly, it is necessary to supplement the system of powers of subjects of public control with real powers that allow for the suppression of violations by objects of public control of the current legislation, as well as human and civil rights and freedoms. For example, it is necessary to grant subjects of public control the right to temporarily suspend acts and decisions of public authorities that are of a subordinate nature if they violate the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of a wide range of citizens of the Russian Federation, with simultaneous appeal to the court or to a higher public authority to resolve this issue on the merits.

Thirdly, it is necessary to fix in the legislation regulating the organization and activity of subjects of state control, the provisions fixing the order of their interaction with subjects of public control. First of all, this concerns the prosecutor's office, the investigation and the court, since the federal constitutional and federal laws regulating their activities do not contain provisions regarding interaction with subjects of public control.

Fourth, it is necessary to fix in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses measures of criminal and administrative responsibility for the actions (inaction) of public authorities, including - state control - for countering the legitimate actions of subjects of public control.

For example, the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation should be supplemented with Article 149.1 "Obstruction of the legitimate activities of representatives of subjects of public control", which should provide for criminal penalties for perpetrators for obstructing the legitimate activities of subjects of public control by forcing them to refuse to carry out this activity.

In turn, the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation should be supplemented with Article 5.70 "Violation of the legislation on public control of the Russian Federation", which should provide for administrative and legal responsibility of officials of public authorities, as well as other objects of public control, as for refusal to provide subjects of public control with information necessary for public control, and for preventing representatives of subjects of public control from visiting the relevant objects of public control.

Fifthly, it is necessary to adopt at the federal level a program for the development of the information and communication base of subjects of public control to ensure their interaction with public authorities in order to promptly exchange information on organized and ongoing public control events at the federal, regional and municipal levels. The financing of this program should be carried out at the expense of the federal budget, since regional and municipal budgets in most subjects of the Russian Federation are subsidized and are not able to provide additional financing for the organization and activities of numerous subjects of public control.

The implementation of these measures will not only provide a mechanism for effective, efficient and timely interaction of subjects of public and state control, but also will generally ensure the progressive development of this institution of civil society as the most important guarantee of the implementation, protection and protection of the constitutional principles of democracy and public participation in the management of state affairs.

The subject of the research in the article submitted for review is, as follows from its name, the problems and prospects of interaction between subjects of public and state control in the Russian Federation. The declared boundaries of the study are fully respected by the scientist. The research methodology is not indicated in the text of the article, but it is obvious that the author used universal dialectical, logical, functional and formal legal research methods when writing the work. The relevance of the research topic chosen by the scientist is justified in sufficient detail: "... this issue is especially relevant due to the fact that: firstly, subjects of public control are endowed, in our opinion, with insufficient powers, which are, as a rule, advisory, informational, advisory, auxiliary, etc."; "... secondly, the effectiveness and efficiency of the public control measures carried out largely depends on the extent to which the final documents and materials prepared by the subjects of public control based on the results of the public control measures carried out were taken into account by public authorities, state and municipal organizations, other bodies and organizations exercising certain public powers on the basis of federal laws, in particular with regard to the activities, acts and decisions of which these public control measures were carried out in their work...."; "... thirdly, without the participation of state control bodies, it is not possible to bring to criminal and administrative responsibility officials of public control facilities who committed offenses identified during public control measures; inFourthly, the activities of subjects of state and public control have a common goal of preventing, suppressing, and preventing violations of human and civil rights and freedoms, the rights and legitimate interests of public associations and other non-governmental non-profit organizations." The author also listed the names of the main scientists who have ever been involved in the development of this research topic and indicated the degree of study of the issues raised in the article. The author does not directly say what the scientific novelty of his research is, but if the content of the article is finalized, it will manifest itself in the recommendations of the scientist on changing and supplementing the current Russian legislation regulating public relations related to the implementation of public control and the peculiarities of interaction between subjects of such with subjects of state control. In this case, the article submitted for review will make a certain contribution to the development of domestic sciences of constitutional law and municipal law. The scientific style of the article is fully sustained by the author. The structure of the work is quite logical. In the introductory part of the article, the author substantiates the relevance of the chosen topic of the work. In the main part of the study, the scientist identifies the differences between the institutions of state and public control, determines the importance of the latter, and identifies problems of effective interaction between subjects of public and state control in Russia. The final part of the work contains conclusions and recommendations based on the results of the study. The content of the work fully corresponds to its title, but is not without some drawbacks. Thus, the author does not offer original definitions of the concepts of "state control" and "public control". However, this is necessary because these concepts are key to the article submitted for review. The author's position, according to which "... the status of subjects of public control in interaction with subjects of state control is higher", needs additional justification, since neither the current Russian legislation nor the existing practice of functioning of public control bodies provide grounds for such a conclusion. This is partially recognized by the author himself (see, for example: "... the institution of public control is not formalized in the Constitution of the Russian Federation. It does not provide a mechanism for interaction with public authorities, including state control bodies. This circumstance significantly reduces the level of influence of this institution of civil society in the eyes of officials of public authorities (including subjects of state control)")". The bibliography of the study is presented by 11 sources (scientific articles). From a formal point of view, this is enough; from the actual point of view, the author is recommended to expand the theoretical base of the study by including a number of dissertations (E. S. Selivanova, V. V. Starchikova, etc.), monographs (E. V. Matveeva, I. Y. Sitdikova, etc.) and scientific articles (V. P. Belyaeva, V. V. Goncharova, M. A. Kilesso, A. A. Kritskaya, E. A. Ogneva, D. A. Okolysheva, T. V. Troitskaya, etc.), which will allow us to reveal the topic of the study more deeply and convincingly substantiate our position on a number of controversial issues. There is an appeal to opponents and it is quite sufficient (A. A. Spiridonov, M. A. Lapina). The scientific discussion is conducted by the author correctly, but his positions on controversial issues are not adequately substantiated. The conclusions based on the results of the entire study are available and deserve the attention of the readership, but need to be clarified. So, the scientist writes: "First, it is necessary to consolidate the institution of public control in the Constitution of the Russian Federation, detailing the mechanism of interaction of subjects of public control with public authorities, including subjects of state control. Alternatively, the positive experience of the organization and functioning of the Institute of people's control of power in the USSR should be used." The author needs to explain exactly how he proposes to detail the mechanism of interaction between subjects of public control and public authorities. What exactly is the experience of the existence of the institute of people's control of power in the USSR that the scientist considers positive and why? What real powers should be added to the system of powers of subjects of public control? What specific measures of criminal and administrative liability for the actions (inaction) of public authorities aimed at countering the legitimate actions of subjects of public control are proposed by the author? Finally, what are the strategic directions for the development of the information and communication base of subjects of public control to ensure their effective interaction with public authorities? The author needs to carefully read the article, because there are typos, spelling, punctuation, syntactic, and stylistic errors in it. The interest of the readership in the presented article can be shown, first of all, by specialists in the field of constitutional and municipal law, provided that it is finalized: disclosure of the research methodology, expansion of the theoretical base of the work, deepening the content of the study, introduction of additional elements of scientific novelty, strengthening the author's argumentation, clarifying conclusions based on the results of the study, eliminating shortcomings in the design jobs.

A REVIEW of an article on the topic "Problems and prospects of interaction between subjects of public and state control in the Russian Federation". The subject of the study. The article proposed for review is devoted to topical issues of interaction between subjects of public and state control in the Russian Federation. The author examines the problems associated with the formation of this institution, offering his own solutions. The subject of the study was the norms of legislation and the opinions of scientists. Research methodology. The purpose of the study is not stated directly in the article. At the same time, it can be clearly understood from the content and title of the article. The purpose of the study can be designated as the consideration and resolution of certain problematic aspects of the issue of problems and prospects of interaction between subjects of public and state control in the Russian Federation. Based on the set goals and objectives, the author has chosen a methodological basis for the study. In particular, the author uses a set of general scientific methods of cognition: analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, induction, and others. In particular, the methods of analysis and synthesis made it possible to summarize and share the conclusions of various scientific approaches to the proposed topic, as well as draw specific conclusions from the norms of legislation. The most important role was played by special legal methods. In particular, the author actively applied the formal legal method, which made it possible to analyze and interpret the norms of current legislation (first of all, the norms of the legislation of the Russian Federation). For example, the following conclusion of the author: "Subjects of state control are always only public authorities. In the Russian Federation, they come in two levels: federal public authorities and public authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation. The subject composition of public control is presented in accordance with Article 9 of Federal Law No. 212-FZ dated July 21, 2014 "On the Basics of Public Control in the Russian Federation": 1) mandatory subjects, which include: the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation (for example, the Public Chamber of Russia); 2) subjects of public control created in cases and in accordance with the procedure provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation (in particular, public control groups)." Thus, the methodology chosen by the author is fully adequate to the purpose of the study, allows you to study all aspects of the topic in its entirety. Relevance. The relevance of the stated issues is beyond doubt. There are both theoretical and practical aspects of the significance of the proposed topic. From the point of view of theory, the topic of the development of the institute of interaction between subjects of public and state control in the Russian Federation is complex and ambiguous, because formally there is a need for such control bodies, but in practice their real activities are not always fully effective. The author is right, noting that "The events of recent years have shown that the risk of the emergence and development of global military-political conflicts involving a significant number of states has increased enormously, the preservation and development of which directly depends on the degree, on the one hand, of the development of democratic principles in public administration, and on the other hand, the implementation, protection and the protection of the system of constitutional principles (first of all, legality, responsibility, transparency in the formation and functioning of public authorities, ethics and professionalism of their officials)." Thus, scientific research in the proposed field should only be welcomed. Scientific novelty. The scientific novelty of the proposed article is beyond doubt. First, it is expressed in the author's specific conclusions. Among them, for example, is the following conclusion: "it is necessary to adopt at the federal level a program for the development of the information and communication base of subjects of public control to ensure their interaction with public authorities in order to promptly exchange information about organized and ongoing public control events at the federal, regional and municipal levels. The financing of this program should be carried out at the expense of the federal budget, since regional and municipal budgets in most subjects of the Russian Federation are subsidized and are unable to provide additional financing for the organization and activities of numerous subjects of public control." These and other theoretical conclusions can be used in further scientific research. Secondly, the author suggests ideas for improving the current legislation. In particular, "The Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation should be supplemented with Article 5.70 "Violation of the legislation on public control of the Russian Federation", which should provide for administrative and legal liability of officials of public authorities, as well as other objects of public control, as for refusal to provide subjects of public control with information necessary for public control and for preventing representatives of subjects of public control from visiting the relevant objects of public control." The above conclusion may be relevant and useful for law-making activities. Thus, the materials of the article may be of particular interest to the scientific community in terms of contributing to the development of science. Style, structure, content. The subject of the article corresponds to the specialization of the journal "Administrative and Municipal Law", as it is devoted to legal problems related to the definition of legal aspects of the development of the institute of interaction between subjects of public and state control in the Russian Federation. The content of the article fully corresponds to the title, as the author considered the stated problems and achieved the research goal. The quality of the presentation of the study and its results should be recognized as fully positive. The subject, objectives, methodology and main results of the study follow directly from the text of the article. The design of the work generally meets the requirements for this kind of work. No significant violations of these requirements were found. Bibliography. The quality of the literature used should be highly appreciated. The author actively uses the literature presented by authors from Russia and abroad (Anikienko V.N., Goncharov V.V., Kovaleva L.I., Matveeva E.V., Sitdikov I.Yu., Kurpatova M.A. and others). Many of the cited scholars are recognized scholars in the field of constitutional and administrative law. Thus, the works of the above authors correspond to the research topic, have a sign of sufficiency, and contribute to the disclosure of various aspects of the topic. Appeal to opponents. The author conducted a serious analysis of the current state of the problem under study. All quotes from scientists are accompanied by author's comments.
