УДК 352.075 ББК 67.400.7
Abstract
The relevance of the research topic is due to the transformation of the foundations of local self-government,which began with the constitutional reform of 2020 and was continued by the adoption of a new Federal Lawdated 03/20/2025 No. 33-FZ “On the general principles of organizing local self-government in a unified systemof local self-government.” state power”, the analysis of which demonstrates a clear reduction in the forms ofdirect implementation of local self-government by the population and participation in it. Despite the openlist of these forms, there are not so many effective and really in demand among citizens. Given that local selfgovernment is the most important democratic institution that allows the population to participate in theexercise of State power at the grassroots level, it is necessary to assist citizens and involve them in solvingissues of local importance in order to effectively implement them. This is possible due to clear legal regulationand informing citizens about the real forms of participation in local government.
