Chernogorov, D.A. Official as a subject of administrative law.

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.
