Zabolotskikh, E.M. Responsibility of legislative (representative) government bodies of the constituent subjects of the Russian Federation

Abstract: In order to achieve efficient organization and legal interaction between federal and regional administrative bodies, it is necessary on one hand to provide for legislative guarantees of independency of government bodies of the constituent subjects of the Russian Federation, and on the other hand, to establish precise forms of control and legal responsibility in the interests of preserving integrity of the state. The article is devoted to the bases, specific features and procedure of application of dissolution of legislative (representative) bodies of the constituent subjects of the Russian Federation as means of constitutional legal responsibility. Much attention is paid to the problems of implementation of the responsibility of legislative (representative) bodies of constituent subjects of the Russian Federation as viewed through the prism of the practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the Constitutional (Ustav) Courts of the constituent subjects of the Russian Federation. The author takes into account the new evolutionary tendencies of legal regulation of such dissolution in Russia and abroad. The author also analyzes the elements of constitutional offence from the standpoint of legal responsibility theory, with due attention paid to object of offence.
