The tasks of the research are to operationalize “civil control”, to designate stages of the civil control institute formation at the federal and regional levels in the Russian Federation, to interpret the features of civil control realization in the modern political process in Volgograd region. The methodological bases of the research are western neoinstitutional developments (J. March and Y.
