Abstract:
The article concerns the budget independency principle within the budget system of the Russian
Federation. This principle was primarily aimed at support of the federalism idea via the financial
mechanisms. The budget independency principle in the budget system of the Russian Federation should
be perceived through the prism of its opposition with the principle of unity (which the author discusses).
The article includes analysis of the judicial practice for 2005–2012, allowing the author to establish the
tendencies in its development. Special attention is paid by the author to the attitude of courts towards
the insufficient subventions amount from the federal budget to the budget of a constituent subject of the
Russian Federation. The article includes analysis of the legislation and modeling of various situations
concerning insufficient amount of subventions. This problem manifests itself in the following ways: 1)
insufficient amount of subventions in the federal budget; 2) incomplete transfer of subventions from the federal budget to the budget of the constituent subjects; 3) insufficiency of the fully received subventions
for the financing of the state competence.
