FORMATION OF SELF-REGULATION MECHANISMS AND THE FORMATION OF A SYSTEM OF DEMOCRACY IN MODERN RUSSIA

In this article, the authors examines the problem of the emergence of democracy and self-regulation mechanisms in modern Russian society. The authos believes that in a democratic society, the power of the state is limited, restrained and controlled by citizens who act within the framework of a civil society that defends private interests, individual and group. Socio-political changes that occur in Russia, urgently require the active involvement of citizens in the management processes, decision-making and control over their implementation. The authors emphasizes that democracy is exercised through constitutionally determined democratic institutions, through numerous forms of interaction of various communities, public associations of citizens with state authorities and local self-government bodies. The authors outlines the following problems: the lack of direct government obligations to such institutions of democracy, lack of mechanisms for effective response of authorities to the requests of public organizations and initiative groups, weak social activity of the population on the ground. The authors sees the solution of problems as limiting state paternalism and developing skills for self-regulation and self-organization among citizens.
