The Impact of the State Financial and Legal Policy on Municipalities
Consolidation of the financial and legal foundations of local self-government in the Constitution of the RF involves the implementation in the Russian Federation of the relevant financial and legal policy aimed at the implementation of constitutional rules regarding financial activities of municipalities. Due to the fact that the concept of financial and legal policy is not legally determined, different points of view on its content and types can be found in the literature. The fiscal and fiscal policy pursued in the State as a whole is important for the financial activities of municipalities. One of the most important documents defining the financial and legal policy in general, including municipalities, are the messages of the President of the Russian Federation. An examination of the messages of the President of the Russian Federation has showed that financial and legal support of municipalities is not a separate priority of the financial and legal policy of the State as a whole. The measures of financial support to municipalities, enshrined in the messages of the President of the Russian Federation, constitute the basis for subsequent regulatory decisions taken both at the federal and regional levels.
