Abstract: This article examines the evolution of approaches towards creation and regulation of the civil service grade structure in the Soviet Unions. The author describes the logically differentiated stages, as well as the general provisions of the approaches, namely the refusal to separate the official of the state apparatus from all employees of the sectors of the national economy, and simultaneous substitution of the state apparatus for the party apparatus. The author outlines the trajectories of development of the civil service system as a whole and the state civil service as its part. Special attention is given to the attempts of creating a hierarchical system of personal ranks. The development of the institution of nomenclature is reviewed separately. The conclusion is made on underdevelopment of the administrative legal institution of the civil service in the Soviet Union, due to the absence of uniform approach towards regulation of the civil service grade structure. The attempt to create the civil service grade structure were unsystematic, did not distinguish between the officials of the state apparatus and the servants employed in the national economy; there were also no fundamentally different approached towards understanding the grade structure – on various stages, the base unit of building a hierarchical system were the categories “post” and “personal rank/title”. The author indicates no correlation between the personal ranks, military ranks, and ranks of the internal affairs bodies.

Abstract: The subject of this research is the legal norms that regulate the consequences of bringing civil servants to responsibility in the form of dismissal due to loss of credibility. It is noted that the current norms of civil service legislation do not contain specific deadlines for restrictions upon the admission to civil service after dismissal for loss of credibility. It is also indicated that the exclusion of a citizen from the register of persons dismissed for loss of credibility does not prevent negative consequences such as failure to enter into civil service is indefinite per se. The author compares the sanctions that restrict the admission of individuals to civil service within the framework of disciplinary, administrative, and criminal responsibility. The main result lies in formulation of practical recommendations for the improvement of civil service legislation, namely clarification of the paragraph 10, of the Part 1 of the Article 16 of the Federal Law No. 79-FZ for determination of the term in which the restriction caused by dismissal for loss of credibility is imposed on the entry into civil service. The article also suggests the mechanism for admission to civil service of persons who have been dismissed for loss of credibility, with participation of the Commission for combatting corruption-related offences.

Abstract: Leaning on the analysis of legal sources of Russia, a number of European and Asian countries, South and North America, this article explores the institution of anti-corruption declaring in public service. The goal consists in substantiation of methodological approaches, which would allow, with a certain degree of accuracy in the context of ethical paradigm, comparing the integral Institution of legal regulation of anti-corruption declaring in different countries, as well as utilizing these approaches in comparative legal research based on Russian and foreign materials for determination of substantial differences that require scientific comprehension and practical response. As a result of the conducted research, the author acquired data on several indicators of trust as an service-ethical purpose for disclosure of personal information by public officials, namely by volume of the disclosed personal information, nature of the source of the declared records, openness of declarations and their verifiability. Foreign declaring traces two main approaches: service-ethical and instrumental. In Russia, the Institution of declaring is of clear instrumental nature, which raises a question of the prospects for implementation of service-ethical approach, first and foremost, with regards to release of declarations of the officials. This question should depend on the actual goals of national policy.

Abstract: The subject of the article is the range of theoretical problems of the institutions of administrative process, the problems of legal regulation of positive administrative procedures, used by executive authorities, performing administrative and regulatory functions. At the same time, in the Russian Federation there is no progressive and consistent development of the administrative process system. Since the Soviet period, there has been the institution of administrative jurisdiction, exercised mainly through the Code of Administrative offences of the Russian Federation. Since September 15, 2015, the Code of Administrative legal proceedings is functioning, together with the institution of administrative justice. However, the institution of administrative procedures is still fragmentary; its conceptual system hasn’t been developed yet. Positive administrative procedures are created, as a rule, by the public authorities implementing them. The country has a cumbersome and ineffective system of administrative procedures. The methodological basis of the article is formed by the current achievements of epistemology. The author apples the general philosophical and the systems methods, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, the traditional legal methods (formal-logical and comparative-legal), and the methods of special sociological research (statistical methods, expert assessments, etc.). The author concludes that it is necessary to revive the ideas of creation of codified administrative-procedural legislation, promoting openness and efficiency of the executive authorities and civil servants. The main contribution of the author is the conclusion about the necessity to develop the institution of positive administrative procedures. The novelty of the study consists in the proposals about the development of the institution of administrative procedures.

Abstract: The subject of this research is the problem of efficiency of disciplinary responsibility within the system of public service. The practice of implementation of the institution of disciplinary responsibility testifies to the fact that the indexes of calling public officials to a disciplinary account in the recent years remain at stable high level, which in turn requires clarification of the causes for such position and determination of ways to eliminate them. The goal of this study consists in the theoretical comprehension of the category of “efficiency” applicable to legal provision of disciplinary responsibility within the system of public service, as well as identification of the components of efficiency of disciplinary responsibility and criteria for assessing efficiency of this legal institution. Operating under the target concept of efficiency of legal responsibility, a conclusion is made that efficiency of disciplinary responsibility within the system of public service represents a legal category that reflects correlation between the result of disciplinary responsibility and its goals by achieving positive impact upon public service relations. It is determined that the components of efficiency of disciplinary responsibility within the system of public service are: efficiency of legal regulation and efficiency of law enforcement practice. The factors impacting the efficiency components include the following: legal consciousness, and legal culture of public servants, and subjects of disciplinary jurisdiction, as well as the state of service discipline within the government apparatus. Assessment of the efficiency of disciplinary responsibility of public servants should be based on criteria such as actual efficiency, substantiation, reasonableness, and usefulness.

The compulsory state social insurance is envisaged only with regards to civil and municipal servants, and represents a subtype of compulsory social insurance. There is a need for legalization of this concept by means of introduction of corresponding amendments to social-insurance legislation. Compulsory state insurance also has the key features of social-security relations, which allows viewing it as one of the organizational-legal forms of the system of social security. The author suggests regulating the question of insurance coverage of civil servants on the federal level in case of infliction of harm to their life and health while on service, as well as pass a law on medical insurance of public servants.

Abstract: Professional performance of tasks and functions, imposed on government bodies, by public servants should be considered as the key prerequisite of effective performance of a certain type of government service. High proficiency of inspectors of federal supervisory bodies of executive authorities is an important condition of effectiveness of supervisory activity. The research subject of this article is the topical question about the possibility to introduce qualification criteria for inspectors of federal supervisory bodies of executive authorities. Special attention is given to the legal status of inspectors of such bodies. The research methodology is based on general scientific methods (analysis, induction, deduction) and specific research methods (formal-legal, comparative-legal), which are traditionally used in Russian jurisprudence. The author concludes that the problem of introduction of qualification criteria for inspectors can be solved only in the context of system optimization of supervisory bodies and their powers and significant reduction of forms of supervisory activities. The author defines general qualification criteria, which are proposed to be considered as elements of the general legal status of inspectors of federal supervisory bodies of executive authorities, which perform supervisory duties.

Abstract: This article explores the peculiarities of legal regulation of the official structure of civil service of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The author determines the characteristic of the current stage of development of the institution of civil service, and conducts their assessment from the perspective of the impact of various models of arrangement and functionality of the system of civil service. Particular attention is given to the terminological framework and essential content of the key categories of this institution. The author differentiates the concepts of “state civil service of the Russian Federation”, “state service of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and “civil service of the Republic of Kazakhstan”. The application of comparative- legal and formal-legal methods allow establishing correlation between the political and administrative posts in civil service of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the one hand and state positions and positions of the civil service of the Russian Federation on the other hand; and public office and posts in civil service of the Russian Federation on the other hand. The conclusion is made on the substantial differences not only in the official structure of civil service, but in the official structure of public administration in both countries as well. The article also outlines a range of problems in the normative legal regulation of the official structure of civil service of the Republic of Kazakhstan. It is proven that the direct comparison of the official structures of public administration and civil service of the two countries is impossible due to significant difference in the terminological framework and general principles of formation of the official structures. Taking into account the common historical base – the uniform system of civil service of the Soviet Union, such a difference may testify to multidirectional trends in the development of the systems of civil service in the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Abstract: This article examines the organizational structure of the state civil service during institutionalization of the system of public administration in the XVI – XVII centuries. The author describes the characteristic traits of this stage of development of the civil service system as a whole, including the highly personalized nature of carrying service, narrow separation between civil and military service, as well as the presence of rank system that was applicable to both the government apparatus and the society. In this context, the author explores the key misinterpretations of the term “rank”, its partial conflation with the concept of “post”, and the absence of universal definition. Research is also conducted on correlation between the organizational structure of the civil service and the class composition of the Tsardom of Russia, which has proven the possibility of separating the system of ranks of public servants from the unified social hierarchy. Special attention is given to the clerical service and its organizational structure: comparison of the status of clerical servants with the elements of the legal status of modern civil servant considering this type of service as the closest prototype of the state civil service. The basic traits of the clerical service include professional character, rigid hierarchy, stability, enforcement nature of activity, additional rights and responsibilities. The author highlights the key role of the concept of “rank” as the characteristic of the position of am individual within service hierarchy, used to for creating a prototype of the organizational structure of the state civil service. The scientific novelty consist in determination of the characteristic features of the organizational structure of civil service as whole, and state civil service in particular, which prove the existence of the developed, although non-unified hierarchy that later provided the framework for the reforms of Peter the Great. This confirms the gradual and consistent, rather than revolutionary nature of the transformations introduced by the Table of Ranks. Such approach gives a more comprehensive perspective upon the evolution of the institution of organizational structure of the state civil service.

Abstract: This article is devoted to the study of the problems of regulation and prospects for the development of public relations related to the exercise of the right to attend meetings of collegial authorities. The topic is relevant due to the fact that law enforcement practice indicates massive violations of the right to attend meetings of government bodies. The reason lies in the incompleteness of legislative regulation. The legislator provided only basic, declarative norms. In their development, the authorities independently, taking into account their specifics and peculiarities of functioning, develop the procedure and rules for the presence of citizens at meetings. The subject of the study is the provisions of normative legal acts in the field of regulating the presence of citizens at meetings of collegial authorities, as well as judicial practice and existing scientific provisions on the studied issues. General scientific and special legal methods were used in the work, among which general logical methods of cognition (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, generalization), the systematic method, as well as the formal legal method can be distinguished. The scientific novelty is due to the fact that the work reflects the current state of the normative consolidation of the right of citizens to attend meetings of collegial authorities. Based on the results of the study, the author formulated proposals for improving legislation. In particular, to amend article 15 of the Federal Law "On Ensuring Access to Information on the Activities of State Bodies and Local Self-government bodies", providing: firstly, specifying the timing of informing citizens about the meeting appointed by the authority and the name of the sources using which it is necessary to inform, as well as the timing of contacting the authority about the intention to attend the meeting; secondly, to fix the inadmissibility of including in the agenda of one meeting issues containing information of open and limited access; thirdly, to unify the grounds excluding the possibility of attending meetings of authorities.

Abstract: The article is devoted to the analysis of organizational and legal forms of implementation of public service (le service public) in France within the framework of administrative regime, i.e. under conditions of co-existence of the two spheres of national law order, private law and administrative law. As a part of administrative regime, public administration activities were literally excluded from the scope of private laws, for instance, French Civil Code of 1804. Consequently, when disputes arise between private persons and public administration, there is always a question whether the public authority agent has acted within the framework of administrative law or private law. In the first case, administrative court will be a competent authority, and in the second case — the general jurisdiction court. The author conducts a detailed analysis of the question about delegation of public service based on the dichotomy between general (private law) regime and administrative regime through examples of public concession and affermages.

Abstract: The author states that the formation of a modern and effective public service of the Russian state is one of priority directions of reforms taking place in administrative and political sphere of public service. At present the organization of public service within the system of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation and its personnel policy don’t meet the requirements of socio-economic development of the country. The consequences can be seen almost in all spheres of life: in economics, financial activities, social sphere, science and culture, in internal and international affairs, defense and security. The research is based on the presented grounds. The methodology of the research is based on the modern achievements of epistemology. The author uses the theoretical and general philosophical methods (dialectics, the system method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation, and modeling), the traditional legal methods (formal-logical), and the methods used in special sociological research (the statistical method, expert evaluations, etc.). Public service in general and service in the bodies of internal affairs in particular, is an essential element of the modern Russian state. Public service of any kinds and forms is always aimed at implementation of the state policy and the state functions. Therefore, public service as a political institution is directly dialectically connected with the state and, thus, is an interim link between a citizen and a public servant implementing any state functions.

Abstract: The article analyzes the changes in the legislation on public service related to the procedure of grating and the terms of annual vacation in the context of adoption of the Federal Law No 176 of 2 June 2016 “On amending the articles 45 and 46 of the Federal law “On public service in the Russian Federation”. The author studies not only the prerequisites of adoption of this law, but also the process of its discussion and adoption, and the consequences of its application. The author uses historical and formal legal methods which ensure the complex study of the evolution of the legislation on public service related to the conditions of annual vacations granting. The author reveals the peculiarities of changes of legal regulation of the process of public service, particularly, the version of the article 46, part 3 of the Federal Law No 79, establishing the common length of an annual paid basic leave – 30 calendar days, instead of the former differentiated approach. The author ascertains that the changes relating to an additional leave for a non-standard work day are conditioned by the necessity to introduce a legislative restriction of its length and to avoid the possibility of establishing excessively long terms of the additional leave for a non-standard work day by means of regulatory lawmaking.

Abstract: The ongoing objective processes in the life of the Russian state and society require development of many provisions in the Russian legal studies. Studying the administrative legal status of an official within the system of state service relations is one of such issues. There is a developed tradition in the sphere of studying the institution of public service in the Russian legal literature, both in the past and currently. However, there are no modern theoretical works devoted to the comprehensive studies of definition and contents of administrative legal status of an official. At the same time both in the theory of administrative law and in the administrative legislation there is a large number of topical issues regarding the legal provisions and regulation of administrative legal status of an official, having negative impact upon the practical activities of the officials of the state government bodies. The methodological basis for the scientific article was formed by the current achievements of the theory of cognition. In the process of studies the author used general philosophical, theoretical and empiric methods (dialectics, systemic method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation, modeling), traditional legal methods ( formal logic method), and methods typical for specific sociological studies (statistical, expert evaluation, etc.). One of the conditions for the formation of the rule-of-law democratic state in the Russian Federation is the presence of an efficient system of public administration. Economic situation in the state and the general well-being of the people both are significantly dependent upon the organization of administration of important spheres of social life. At the same time it cannot be doubted that efficiency of functioning of the public administration is defined by the organization of the state apparatus and the officials as its administrative cadres.

Abstract: The research subject is legal regulation of the procedure of conclusion of a contract on service in customs bodies and the judicial practice of consideration of official disputes connected with the termination of a labor contract. The main attention is paid to the problems of renewal (non-renewal) of a service contract. The paper analyzes the circumstances, demonstrating the broad limits of administrative discretion of the heads of customs bodies in the renewal of service contracts, which, in the author’s opinion, lead to the intensification of a subjective factor in official relations and to the unjust and uncontrolled dismissals. The research methodology is based on general scientific methods (dialectics, analysis and synthesis) and specific ones (formal-legal, system-structural and comparative-legal). The author argues that the contract basis of service in customs bodies shouldn’t allow for an unrestricted approach to the conditions of contracts conclusion and the absence of clear and precise requirements to the conditions of their conclusion. The author states the absence of a positive judicial practice of consideration of disputes over the appeal from the dismissal of customs bodies officers upon the service contract termination, therefore, in the author’s opinion, it is necessary to pay particular attention to the regulation of contracts renewal. The author supposes that dismissal affects female officers, whose contracts are not renewed after their maternity leave, most of all. The author declares the necessity to regulate the procedure of conclusion of a service contract and develops the proposals about the establishment of a procedure of contract conclusion and dismissal, aimed at the prevention of turnover of the professional personnel in customs bodies of the Russian Federation.

Abstract: The institution of an “official” in the sphere of public administration has been drawing attention of scientists of various generations. The theoretical fundamental for the studies of the institution of “official” were brought forth in the scientific works of the state law scholars of late XIX and early XX centuries. The institution of “official” became the center of attention starting from 1990s. This period of time may be characterized with the intensive reforms of the institution of the public services and administrative delict legislation. This is the period when there are attempts to substantiate the need to develop the uniform interdisciplinary definition of an “official” and to find the ways to clarify its administrative legal contents. The methodological basis for the scientific article was formed by the current achievements of the theory of cognition. In the process of studies the author used general philosophical, theoretical and empiric methods (dialectics, systemic method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation, modeling), traditional legal methods ( formal logic method), and methods typical for specific sociological studies (statistical, expert evaluation, etc.). Currently the Russian legislation on the public service is undergoing the process of its formation. In spite of the measures implemented in the late years, it still is not possible to achieve appropriate quality of legal regulation of the relations regarding public service. There are unresolved problems regarding the corruption in the sphere of public service, lack of modern methods for planning the works of state servants, etc.

Abstract: The article examines the legal regulation of socio-legal protection of civil servants. The author demonstrates the shortcomings of the legal system within the public administration and the ways of their elimination.The modern stage of state-building in Russia is directly linked to the social and legal protection of civil servants. The system of state guarantees of civil servants is currently in the condition of instability caused by administrative reforms, the lack of a unified government policy, federal and regional peculiarities of development of the system of state guarantees. The system of material and financial guarantees today is a working system, thus enhancing the prestige of public service as a social and legal institution. Methodological basis of research comprises the historical interpretation and comparative study of law, logic, formal and doctrinal interpretation of law. The author also uses the general scientific methods: abstraction, elementary-theoretical and structural analysis, modeling, cognition of the object by identifying its essential characteristics. All methods are applied within the framework of the systems approach. The scientific novelty of this study is that the real work represents one of the first attempts of a comprehensive analysis of the institution of public service in the modern anti-crisis legislation. For the effective functioning of public service it is necessary to provide the proper conditions for high-quality execution by public officials of their official (service) duties and the formation of ideology influencing the development of public administration. Resource support of public servants should be carried out through: further development of the flexible, socially oriented system of professional training of citizens, adequate to the needs of the state civil service; improvement of training of civil servants on the basis of program-target approach to the organization of education of various position groups; development of institutions of additional education which use the most effective professional education programs and technologies of training; methodological support of professional training of civil servants, personnel retraining for the public service; improvement of normative-legal regulation of relations between the representatives of the employer and civil servants; the formation and strengthening of state control over the civil service; the establishment of a real system of certification, retraining and advanced training.

Abstract: The article concerns legal and organizational problems regarding implementation of an administrative punishment in the form of disqualification of state servants. The author pays attention to a number of topical issues regarding application of disciplinary punishments, providing theoretical and practical examples, regarding guarantees of lawfulness and discipline within the system of state civil service, then formulating the propositions for the amendments into the current legislation. The issue of improving the quality of state administration in Russia is quite topical, and it is hardly imaginable that it can be done without the improvement of the mechanism of legal responsibility of state servants, including those in civil service. Analysis of the changes in the legislation of the late years, and first of all, the Federal Law of July 27, 2004 N. 79-FZ “On Civil State Service in the Russian Federation” and the Administrative Offences Code of the Russian Federation of 2001 allows to refer to two main vectors of development: administrative and disciplinary, with obvious preference for the first one over the latter one. However, it is doubtful that such a n attitude is viable. The p osition of the author is that t he mechanism of legal responsibility of state servants should be developed by improving its disciplinary element, including widening the scope of disciplinary punishments and detailed regulation of disciplinary procedure.

The key differences between the military service and the civil public service lie in the purpose of such types of public service, in the functions performed and objectives achieved by them. The unique feature of the military service is performance by the military servant of specific functions in order to procure the defense and security of the Russian Federation using special methods and applying, or possibly applying, instruments of war (weapons and military machinery) with the opponent which are required under the federal laws. The special features of the military service are expressed in the fact that, taking into account the detailed regulation by laws and rules of the military service relationships, it does not always appear possible to establish (identify) the course of action of the military servant in a certain situation, in particular, during the conduct of action, which also emphasizes the special status of the military service.
