TO THE QUESTION ABOUT THE INFORMAL USE OF STATE SYMBOLS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
The article considers the problem of the informal use of state symbols at the Federal and regional levels. Author analyzes legislative acts of regions in the Russian Federation, which suggests that there is a practice of informal use of the symbols in the regions. However, the complexity is seen in the fact that there is no uniform for all the regions of the Russian Federation of the list of permitted such use. The article presents the position of K. V. Nuzhina, who argues: «legal regulation of the use of...» the state symbols at the Federal and regional levels, requires improvement, especially in terms of granting citizens and organizations the right to freely use the state symbol. Author concludes that the informal regulation of the right of use of state symbols on the subject of the Russian Federation must comply with the rules and norms that are defined at the level of the Russian Federation and be consistent with the purpose of popularization of the state symbols designated by the President of the Russian Federation in 2004.
