Administrative legal relationship: evolution of views on the concept and essence

Abstract

The relevance of the choice of this topic is due to: the evolutionary changes that have taken place in Russian society since the moment of political and economic transformations (late 80s, early 2000s); the adoption of an amendment to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in July 2020; administrative reforms and transformations of the executive power of the Russian Federation, etc. The article analyzes the views of pre-revolutionary (Russian) legal scholars, the first post-revolutionary ideas of scientists who attempted to give the concept and characteristics of the Marxist, then Soviet (socialist) legal relationship. The collapse of the socialist political system dealt a crushing blow to Russian basic and applied sciences. However, managerial ideas in the theory of Administrative Law exist to this day, although they have long ceased to have scientific and legislative support. A generalization of the works of Russian administrative is showed that our contemporaries continue to take a liking to the dogma of the administrative-legal relationship as a power relationship that arises in the sphere of public administration, where the dominant subject (a representative of the state) is dominant. In conclusion, destroying the existing stereotypes about the concept and essence of administrative-legal relations, it was concluded that the executive authorities, local self-government bodies in administrative legal relations do not have a large amount of rights in relation to citizens. In relations with citizens, they are only conductors of power. They are charged with the obligation to provide citizens and society with the opportunity to acquire constitutional rights and freedoms. The state must and must take on the challenges of our time. It is obliged to bear the burden of protecting and ensuring the safety of citizens, to fulfill social obligations, to be a regulator of public relations. Administrative Law regulates the relationship between the state and free people who, by virtue of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, have the right to express their will, opinion, and the right to use their freedoms to the fullest
