Piunova, V.I. Genesis of formation and development of administrative judicial bodies in Russia

Abstract: Currently the issue of formation of the system of administrative courts is quite a topical one in the Russian Federation. There were several attempts to form a system of administrative courts in Russia, but they are not formed yet. Neither the Stolypin reform of 1909, nor the acts of the Temporary Government on administrative courts of 1917 lead to formation of the system of judicial bodies for dealing with the disputes between the citizens and government bodies. In the Soviet period the attitude to the system of administrative justice was negative, since the court was regarded as a body for the protection of the Soviet statehood from encroachments first of all. Its role as a guarantee of responsibility of the state towards its citizens was denied. However, some elements of administrative justice were present. For example, the courts in 1937 to 1961 gradually gained competence over the administrative actions. This article contains chronological analysis and evaluation of the historic aspects of formation and development of administrative justice bodies in Russia within the period from the second half of XIX century to the current time.
