Among the development priorities of modern Russia is the search for effective mechanisms of interaction between government and society. One of the effective forms of such interaction is the control of citizens over the activities of public authorities and officials. Control is a widespread objective phenomenon in the socio-economic and political life of society, closely merged with other phenomena. Of great interest at the present stage of formation and development of the institution of citizens’ control over power in Russia is the experience of implementing people’s control in the USSR. A critical analysis of the accumulated experience in the implementation of public control in the Soviet period allows us to formulate recommendations for improving the mechanisms for exercising public control at the present stage of the socio-political and socio-economic development of the Russian Federation.

A brief overview of the works, the author’s approaches contained in them, the points of view of Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences O. Е. Kutafin, Professors E. I. Kozlova, V. I. Fadeev, N. A. Mikhaleva, B. A. Strashun on possible ways of developing science and practice in the field of popular representation and local self-government is offered. The doctrinal provisions contained in their scientific works have largely determined not only the directions of development of public law sciences, but also the strategy of constitutional development of Russia.

The article examines the problem of the need to study doctrinal views on the formation and development of the institution of citizenship. In particular, this is due to the lack of an unambiguous definition by scientists of the concept of citizenship, the unity of the positions of scientists regarding the affiliation of citizenship to the constitutional legal institute and the intersectoral institute.
The article pays special attention to the contribution of academician O. Е. Kutafin to the problems of constitutionalism in general and the institution of citizenship in particular.

The article presents an analysis of the works of Oleg Kutafin, devoted to the organization of educational activities among young people, the formation of the culture of the youth. Guided by his own experience at the university, Oleg Kutafin emphasized the special role of educational institutions in organizing work on the formation of culture and worldview of young people, which was carried out by universities along with party and other public institutions. The main goal of educational work with students was seen by Oleg Yemel’yanovich in the formation of the worldview of the younger generation based on the ideological values of Soviet society traditional for that period. The article presents an analysis of the scientist’s works devoted to the organization of educational work with young people, in particular, the academician’s articles “Forms of educational work with students in the conditions of a correspondence university” (1970) and “Permanent Commissions on Youth affairs of the Soviets” (1971), as well as O.

The article explores the ideas of Academician O. Е. Kutafin about the social market economy of Russia, the role of the state in economic relations and the responsibility of the state for the economic well-being of citizens, as well as equality. The author concludes that these ideas were further developed and filled, in particular, in the positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the new norm of the Constitution of Russia and are relevant to this day. According to the author, in order to achieve the goals of sustainable economic growth guaranteed by the Constitution of the Russian Federation it is important to restore confidence between the state and business and maintain it in the future, develop clear and stable regulation of the economy based on the principle of equality and taking into account the specifics of the content of economic and business processes, as well as create favorable social conditions for the development of citizens, including through the financial provision of their basic needs.

A science city is a territory with a high concentration of scientific, technical, and innovative potential. Its characteristic is the participation of organizations of the research and production complex of Science Cities in institutional interaction with local governments to develop the innovative infrastructure they use, create a comfortable urban environment, ensure the availability of social infrastructure for conservation staff resource and attracting highly qualified specialists.
The article notes a some of lacks in the legal regulation of local government in Science Cities, such as the lack of legislative imperative norms on the creation of scientific and technical councils of a Science City; norms establishing the features of the organization of local government, the lack of legislative regulation of the conditions of stay and the implementation of labor activity on the territory of Science Cities by third parties. To solve these problems, it is necessary to introduce appropriate amendments to the Law on Science Cities or adopt a new federal law on local government in Science Cities in a single system of public authority.

The article presents various points of view existing in the scientific literature on the concept of “public power”. When considering them, the author identifies and justifies two stages: before the adoption of the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 1993 and after amendments to it in July 2020. At the first stage, public power was identified with state power. At the second stage, the term “public power” in the Constitution of Russia is used as a generalizing concept that includes state bodies and local self-government bodies, which, interacting with each other, act as a power vertical at different levels and, simultaneously, complementing each other, ensure the unity of the system of public power in the Russian Federation.

They analyze normative acts, decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation on the issue under consideration and draw appropriate conclusions.

The article is devoted to the study of individual problems of the relatively new phenomenon of legal reality of telemedicine. Conducting an assessment of foreign practices, the author comes to the conclusion that telemedicine is only being introduced into practical healthcare in Russia. The complexity of this phenomenon allows us to talk about the features of regulatory regulators used to implement the mechanism of telemedicine services. The author notes that Telemedicine in the modern sense in Russia is positioned as one of the ways of providing medical care. Attention is drawn to the absence of a legal definition of telemedicine, the legislator, using a narrow approach, refers to the definition of telemedicine services. The heterogeneity of the problems that develop in the process of using telemedicine services allows the author to highlight the most significant ones that require legislative elaboration. The issues of the dynamics of telemedicine services in the pandemic period are touched upon. Possible ways of solving legislative barriers are proposed.
