Abstract

The article is devoted to the current state of the problems of reforming local self-government and the direct relationship of political parties to the reform of local self-government in Russia. The subject of the article is the aspects of reforming local self-government in the vision of political parties. The purpose of the article is to study the essence of municipal reform in the party discourse devoted to the problems of constitutional reform of local government at the present stage of development of Russia. This article presents various methods, such as analysis, comparative method, which to a greater extent make it possible to define the conceptual apparatus, to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the current state of local self-government in Russia in the context of municipal reform. The reform of local self-government initiated in 2019 affected the essential constitutional foundations of local government that have existed since the adoption of the Constitution of Russia in 1993. In the new constitutional and legal realities, a qualitatively new model of local self-government in our country has been fixed: the place of local government in the vertical of state power, the territorial basis of local self-government, the structure of local self-government bodies and the procedure for institutionalization of local self-government bodies and officials has changed. The attitude of representatives of political parties to this municipal reform is quite polar, party members do not unequivocally assess the consequences of the reform of local government. The results of the study can be useful in conducting seminars for municipal employees and heads of municipalities, and the results of the article can also be applied in the work of members of political parties and their regional branches, whose members are members of legislative (representative) bodies of Russia and its subjects, in the course of legislative activity
