Features of legal regulation of access of citizens for information about the activities of public authorities and local authorities
The article deals with the issues of legal regulation of citizens ' access to information about the activities of state authorities and local self-government bodies. The authors come to the conclusion that the right to access information about the activities of government bodies is only part of the general concept of "constitutional right to information" and in this case is considered from the point of view of the process of exercising their functions by state authorities and local self-government bodies. The development and approval of the Federal Law "On Official Secrets", which would clearly establish the norms regulating aspects of official secrets in all its possible manifestations, is proposed.
