Local self-government in Russia remains a problematic link in the national system of public process. Lack of efficiency of local authorities reduces the development potential of the entire Russian society. Many of the problems faced by Russian citizens in their daily lives, are the responsibility of local government, but their solutions are not always achieved in the form and completeness, which can satisfy the population of municipalities. This is due to the influence of various social factors on local government. Study of the effect of such factors is not only scientific, but also of practical interest. In the article on the materials of sociological research on actual problems of functioning and development of local self-government in the Russian Federation carried out by the sociological group of the Institute of Public Administration and Management of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration in 2014, some of the significant issues of the influence of social factors on the effective functioning of local governments in the Russian Federation are discussed.

Introduction. The article presents the results of a study of communication in the system of local self-government of the Republic of Tatarstan as a subject of the Russian Federation conducted by the authors in November – December 2019. The study included a survey of representatives of regional media and press services of local authorities of the Republic of Tatarstan in order to determine the model of communication in the local government system and the role of PR-activities in the regulation of social interaction in the region. Methods and materials. The main method of studying was the method of expert survey. The authors developed a questionnaire, which was used during an interview with experts. When choosing an expert – a media representative for the interview – the authors took into account three factors: the rating of the represented media, the experience of the respondent in the regional media (at least five years) and the authority to make a key decision on the publication of the material. In order to identify the experts who are representatives of local self-government bodies, the authors of the article determined the following criteria: implementation of information and analytical activities in the structure of local self-government bodies, at least 5 years of experience as a head of a structural unit (public relations / media relations department) of local self-government bodies. Analysis. The analysis showed that the development of social media accelerates the process of establishing a two-way model of communication between the government and the public. Social media have become a full-fledged source of information both for the journalistic community and for the press services of local governments. Moreover, with the help of the content posted in posts on official accounts on social networks, local governments can attract residents of the municipal territory to participate in solving local issues. Constant monitoring, responding to comments, tracking negative content on social media are becoming everyday practices in the work of press services. Results. The results of the study indicate that over the past decade in the Russian Federation the necessary prerequisites have been formed for the formation of a bilateral symmetrical model of communication between local authorities and the population. This model is aimed at providing effective feedback that allows the local government to quickly respond to the aspirations and needs of the population, monitor their dynamics, constantly monitor the attitude and assessments of citizens of decisions made on the development of the city or region.

This article examines the problems of the activities of local governments in the development of a multifunctional rural economy (using the example of the Sverdlovsk region). The purpose of this study is to conduct a scientific analysis of the state of the rural economy as a multifunctional system and the participation of local governments in its development. The topic of this article is relevant, because not in all constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the positive development of the rural economy testifies to the effective activity of local governments in this area. In some regions, the municipal management of agriculture functions, in local government bodies such management functions and departments are carried out. In many rural areas of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, work is being carried out to organize non-agricultural activities as an integral part of the rural economy.

The ongoing reform of public administration and the budgetary system has increasingly focused on improving budgetary efficiency. The best method to achieve this is a program-targeted method of planning and financing budget expenditures. While earlier planning in terms of the functions of local governments did not create incentives for optimal allocation of funds and focused only on the costs of maintaining the relevant bodies and subordinate institutions, the application of program-targeted planning requires a shift in the focus of budgetary expenditures towards results. Developed countries have begun to apply these planning methods since the middle of the last century, and to date there has been a wealth of experience that can be used in the practice of the Russian Federation, for which this method of planning expenditures is still quite new and causes a number of problems and difficulties in implementation. The article presents an overview study and systematization of the problems of implementation and evaluation of the effectiveness of the program-targeted method of planning state and municipal expenditures in the Russian Federation. The author identifies main difficulties faced by the budget system in 2018-2019, makes conclusions and recommendations for its improvement in the Russian Federation.

The relevance of the studied topic is indicated by the fact that the eco­nomic analysis of economic activity is applied not only at the level of a single enterprise, but also at the level of local governments and the state as a whole. In this case, economic analysis is used to make the most correct deci­sions in relation to the direction of the use of budgetary funds, eliminate the causes of shortage of funds in a particular subject of the Russian Federation, increase the importance of goods exported from the region to other subjects of the Russian Federation and other countries. In order for the above-men­tioned goals to be fully achieved, it is necessary to correctly define the tasks of economic analysis, solved by local authorities.

AbstractFollowing the completion of the process of decentralisation of public administration in Poland in 2003, a number of tasks implemented previously by the state authorities were transferred to the local level. One of the most significant changes to the financing and management methods of the local authorities was the transfer of tasks related to culture and national heritage to the set of tasks implemented by local governments. As a result of the decentralisation process, the local government units in Poland were given significant autonomy in determining the purposes of their budgetary expenditures on culture. At the same time, they were obliged to cover these expenses from their own revenues.This paper focuses on the analysis of expenditures on culture covered by the voivodship budgets, taking into consideration the structure of cultural institutions by their types, between 2003-2015. The location quotient (LQ) was applied to two selected years (2006 and 2015) to illustrate the diversity of expenditures on culture in individual voivodships.
