Abstract

This article analyzes a number of issues related to the reform of public administration at various levels (from central to local) and dependences of this process on changes in the political system. Low impact of the reform and administration inefficiency conditioned by the growth of authoritarian tendencies in the power elites activities, actual restriction of civil society institutions activities down to the stagnation of such a society, violation of citizens constitutional rights are argued. The facts mentioned contradict the national leaders statements about successful democratization in Russia, conclusions of modern political science and actual practice of the states with democratic regimes.
