Local self-government: Past, present and future

Local self-government is a topic that is still rather a dream than a reality in the current "vertical of power". The Putin administration explains this fact with the lack of skills in self-government in the Russian population. Now the government has launched a new state-wide program for 2010-2015 "Local self-government and population: development of organizational and legal forms of participation of the population in local self-governing". This monograph clarifies the government program of teaching the population and explaining the limits of self-government. (0.285 kg.).
