Trutnev E.K. On division of powers in city management and legal logic

Abstract: The author examines the situation that arose following the changes in the normative base that redistributed the powers among municipal authorities and Federal Subject authorities in the area of city-planning. Various hypotheses that may justify this shift were analyzed, and conclusions were reached regarding the consequences of implementing the legal novelties for the legal system as a whole, and for administrative practice in particular. This article offers the results of analyzing the major norms of Federal Law ¹136-ÔÇ, 27.05.2014, in the context of other Federal Laws and the legal logic of the city-management system. The methodological basis of this article is constituted of general scientific methods, such as induction, deduction, analysis, synthesis, modeling, as well as legal methods of Jurisprudence - legal analysis, legal interpretation. This article proves that the contradictions that emerge in Law can't but negatively affect Law application, stimulates the emergence of additional administrative barriers, increases procedural terms, and leads to other tendencies that are strictly opposite to the goals of Federal policies.
