Based on the scientific heritage of V. I. Fadeev, the monograph “The Institute of State and Municipal Services in the Contemporary Law of the Russian Federation" (ed. V. I. Fadeev. M., 2016. 208 p.), The author of the article dwelled on some of the problems and contradictions in the field of public services in general and municipal services in particular, which, if properly worked out, can prevent a lot of risks when incorporating this institution into the legal reality of Russia: difference and content, as well as the legal consequences of the terms “service” and “work" in line with the provision of state and municipal services; fixing the standard of public services; assessment of the expert community and civil society institutions necessary today for the existing system of state and municipal services, etc. The opinion was expressed that the quality and accessibility of services is a step towards restoring citizens' trust in public authority.

The political function of parliamentary control is significantly increased when information about its procedures and results is brought to the attention of representatives of state and local authorities and become part of the public debate. In order to develop the political function of parliamentary control, the trend of expanding the scope of application of the principles of openness and transparency of its procedures becomes obvious. The importance of the system of law and the effectiveness of any law is determined by its use in practice. The introduction of the proposals formulated in the article will significantly increase the authority of the legislative branch in the system of checks and balances, positively transform the role and importance of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation in the unified organizational system of the state, as well as in the socio-political life of the country.
