On the question of further reform of the civil service in modern Russia (is there a need for a new "Table of ranks"?)[К Вопросу О Дальнейшем Реформировании Государственной Службы Современной России: Нужна Ли Новая «Табель О Рангах»?]

Introduction. Modern Russia is in the process of permanent reform of the public administration system, increasing the efficiency and transparency of the work of the state apparatus. Today, the civil service system of the Russian Federation is a complex mechanism that regulates the activities of government authorities and their interaction with society. Purpose. In our opinion, we would like to draw attention to some key problems of further reforming the civil service and suggest ways to overcome them, in which the institutions of the state and municipal service are transformed into a single system of public service. It is necessary to improve the existing system of ranks and ranks of the public service. Methods and results. The research methods include the use of historical analysis, which made it possible to trace the evolution of the system of public power and local self-government in Russia. The appeal to historical experience made it possible to identify elements of continuity and determine the possibilities of adapting historical models to modern conditions. An analysis of current legislation, including federal laws and presidential decrees, was also conducted in order to identify gaps and contradictions in legal regulation. In turn, the use of a systematic approach implied the consideration of public authority as a single system, including state and municipal services. This made it possible to analyze the interrelationships between different levels of government and assess their impact on management effectiveness, as well as identify systemic problems and develop recommendations for their solution. The results of the analysis conducted using theoretical methods make it possible to identify key problems in the current legislation that hinder the effective functioning of the public authority system. The use of a systematic approach makes it possible to identify the relationships between levels and branches of government, as well as to determine their impact on the overall effectiveness of management. All this makes it possible to develop comprehensive recommendations for optimizing the interaction between state and municipal services, as well as to propose coordination mechanisms that will increase the effectiveness of management at all levels. Conclusions. According to the authors, reflected in the work, the formation of a system of public authority, which is already being completed at the local government level, causes the objective need to form a unified system of public service, including the state and municipal branches (services), which is a necessary condition for strengthening the vertical of power and improving coordination between its levels. The article draws attention to the expediency of maintaining a two-tier model of local self-government, which plays a key role in ensuring communication between authorities and the population.
