The features of the development of the dynastic crisis of the interregnum of 1825 through the prism of the functioning of one of the key public authorities - the Holy Synod is discussed in the article. An analysis of the literature allows us to conclude that in modern historiography, the events of the oath to Grand Duke Konstantin received conflicting estimates. It is noted that as a result there were several interpretative schemes of what happened in the capital on November 27. An appeal to the workflow of the Synod makes it possible to assert that from the point of view of the logic of the functioning of the state apparatus, a coup d’etat took place. An analysis of everyday activities, the key bureaucratic formulas in the protocols leads to the conclusion that the bureaucratic reaction to the oath to Konstantin did not correspond to the established traditions and was distinguished by haste and internal contradictions. This was reflected primarily in the decisions of November 27: the Synod decides on the oath, relying on oral reports from the synodal members, but the next day duplicates its own decision, referring to the jurisdiction of the Senate. Moreover, a comparison with the events of December 12-14 shows that the accession to the throne of Nikolai Pavlovich was carried out in accordance with the order established in the previous century and was distinguished by deliberate legal accuracy and consistency.

Delegation of authority itself, as an element of the system of relations in the sphere of local self-government, is one of the most difficult, since the completeness of the competences of local self-government bodies and their resource provision occupy a central place in the scientific discourse on this issue. The legal and organizational support of delegation is also unstable today from the point of view of the completeness of the mechanisms of administrative and legal regulation of this direction of the implementation of the right to self- government by communities. In the context of the administrative reform, the consolidation of administrative-territorial units, the stimulation of the creation of united territorial communities, the question of finding the most optimal model for organizing delegation, as a process of redistribution of powers, acquires particular relevance and importance. The aim of the research is to study the formation of legal regulation of delegation of powers in the system of local self- government in Ukraine. The article defines the content of legal regulation, which is characterized by such elements as form, subject and methods. Review that the forms of legal regulation are normative legal acts adopted according to the procedures by authorized public authorities, the subject of regulation of which is the process of delegation of powers in the local self-government system. The author revealed that the idea of local self-government, provides for the decentralization of power, organizational and financial autonomy of self- government bodies, contradicted the doctrine of the socialist state, as well as the task of the state of the proletarian dictatorship, was centralized by nature. It has been substantiated that the adoption of the Law of Ukraine dated May 21, 1997 No. 280/97-ВР "On local self-government in Ukraine" became a decisive step towards creating a system of local self-government in Ukraine, effective organizational and legal support for the delegation of powers in the local self- government system. By means of retrospective analysis, it was determined that the idea of local self-government, provides for the decentralization of power, organizational and financial autonomy of self-government bodies, contradicted the doctrine of the socialist state, as well as the task of the state of the proletarian dictatorship, was centralized by nature.

The conclusion is made about the goals of introducing gamification into the practice of public authorities. The state administration can not only be the author of these projects, but also assist civil society institutions (public associations, citizens) in their development.

The article is an analysis from the theoretical and dogmatic point of view of the institution of “special use of weapons”. The intention of the legislator was to comprehensively regulate the issue of the so-called sniper shot, which is to be the reaction of the state apparatus to terrorist behavior. The direct goal of “special use of weapons” is to deprive or endanger the life of the perpetrator of a terrorist event in such a way as to ensure maximum protection of the life and health of individuals whose legal rights may potentially be threatened by terrorist activities. This study aims to present the normative shape of the discussed institution and analyze it in terms of the assumptions of the theory of law and criminal law dogmatics, and in particular, it is an attempt to answer the question about the scope of responsibility of public officials authorized to fire a sniper shot in terms of circumstances excluding unlawfulness

The article analyzes IMEMO activities in 1992–1993, when in Russia, under the influence of both radical economic reforms and drastic weakening of the central government, a deep political crisis emerged and gained a dangerous traction, fraught with the death of a young democracy and even the collapse of the state. Under these conditions, along with economic issues, the politological research came to the fore in IMEMO – the analysis of the country's new political system, the definition of its development vector. The Center of Socio-economic and Socio-political Research of IMEMO headed by German Germanovich Diligenskii played the major role in this work. Analysts of the Center prepared a number of recommendations for public authorities concerning the creation and development of a new democratic political system in Russia. IMEMO experts paid the utmost attention to the nature of the political crisis that arose in the post-Soviet Russia in late 1991, and the ways to overcome it. In January 1993, the results of the study were presented to the discussion at the Academic Council. It was agreed that one of the main causes of the political crisis in the country was the social tensions worsening, as a consequence of the “shocking therapy” conducted by the government of Gaidar in 1992. In the discussion on the political outlook German Diligenskii, rejecting the possibility of the old command-administrative system restoration, substantiated a probability of transformation of the "market democracy" not yet established in Russia into the "authoritarian monopoly or monopoly-bureaucratic system". Noting the disunity of democratic forces, weakness of the entrepreneurial class, largely dependent on the state, Diligenskii formulated a program for uniting all adherents of “arket democracy” under the slogan of "social liberalism", which would take into account Russian specifics. Consolidation of democracy and market economy in Russia is impossible without preservation of the state territorial integrity and consolidation of the central government, with a clear division of functions and powers of its constituent branches. Monopolization (usurpation) of all power by one of the branches – legislative or executive – should not be allowed. The victory of any of them in any case would mean the defeat of democracy. Such was, in general terms, the position of IMEMO in the face of the 1992–1993 political crisis. Acknowledgement. The publication was prepared as part of the President of Russian Federation grant to support the leading scientifi c schools NSh-6452.2014.6.

The subject of research is state control and supervision from the point of view of axiological approaches. The first level of the latter makes it possible to determine value of state control and supervision as administrative forms; the second level forms variants of theoretical and legal substantiation of the correlation between the control and supervisory activities of the state and the totality of values protected by law. The aim of the article is to propose methodological techniques for determining the value of state control and supervision, which is understood as the importance of these institutions in the public administration system as a whole in the context of the possibility of using other administrative forms to achieve regulatory goals. The value of the control and supervisory activities of the state is substantiated from the point of view of the possibility of replacing state control and supervision with other regulatory mechanisms within the framework of deregulation processes (horizontal approach), as well as taking into account previous development of these administrative forms (evolutionary approach). Value of state control and supervision is seen as the ability to ensure the protection of legally protected values with minimal interference of public authorities in controlled activities. Value of the considered management forms is substantiated using the category of deregulation, which is understood as: process of development of a certain sphere of social relations; process of delegating state powers; trends to expanding the freedom of subjects, transition to “soft” regulation; process of reducing and simplifying administrative procedures (procedural deregulation). Determination of the value of state control and supervision is associated with the justification of the possibility of replacing these management forms with others in relation to a certain area of regulation, which determines a specific ratio of various management forms and mechanisms. From the point of view of evolutionary approach, value of state control and supervision is determined by the previous development of these administrative forms in the system of state power. Within the framework of the theoretical and legal substantiation of the category “values protected by law” in the system of state control and supervision, a variety of positions are highlighted. As a conclusion, a modern formula is proposed: state control and supervision — socially significant results — mandatory requirements — values protected by law.

Relevance of the research topic. It is impossible to build a civil society without forming an effective engine of its development in all spheres of the state. In order to take measures in a sphere of youth politics, the public authorities should get support to its subjects including Youth NGO’s. NGO which is able to develop singly and develop subjects around during a long period of time should become a basis for improving youth policy of the state. Such development is only possible with the help of mechanisms and tools of strategic management, which makes this research up-to-date. Formulation of the problem. Strategic management of developing an organisation requires a detailed study from the point of view of development and implementation of management concept. It states mechanisms and tools which should be used in the organisation`s activity. In regard with the fact that development of NGO was forced by both evolutional and revolutionary changes, the possibility of applying the developed concepts of strategic management for the functioning of concrete types of organisations should be critically analysed. Analysis of the last research and publications. Theory of concepts of strategic management was thoroughly reviewed in works by M. Nebava, O. Ratushnyak, V. Ortina, L. Fedulowa, Z. Shershnyova and O. Stoliarenko. In addition to this, researches on strategic management were also considered. In works of A.Tompsom and A.Stricland, K.Prahalad and H.Hamel, I.Nonaka and H.Takeuchi and B.Wernerfeld. Strategic management in NGO’s was considered by M.Zemba, V.Melenivska, O. Hlebushkina, H.Kachura, T.Azarova, L.Abramova etc. However, the implementation of concepts of strategic management in the activity of NGO’s is not studied enough. This causes a need for thorough comprehensive research which requires a detailed analysis of existing concepts and approaches to strategic management. Selection of unexplored parts of the general problem. It is hard for youth NGO’s in Ukraine to pick up an effective concept of strategic management. It is a result of both operating conditions and absence of thorough theoretical basis so as most of the concepts were developed for the functioning of the commercial organisation. So, the important part of the problem which needs a solution is a definition of main provisions of the concept of strategic management which will meet the needs of development of Youth NGO. Setting the task, the purpose of the study. Among the main objectives of the article which let to approach the solution of the stated problem can be highlighted the necessity of developing a system of methods and tools of strategic management of Youth NGO. On the basis of this system and existing concepts, it is expedient to form a model of a concept of strategic management of Youth NGOs. Method or methodology of conducting research. Methods of system-structural analysis and synthesis, retrospection, dialectical and methods of generalization, grouping, comparison and other methods became a methodological basis of the article.

Author is considering the role of state in the contemporary economy from the point of view of Marxist methodology that clarifies presentation of the points of disagreements which take place among scholars, and, also uses the potential of foreseeing in Marxism. In the paper the thesis is stated that contemporary state is focused on the realization of three main types of interests: the state apparatus (bureaucracy), the ruling class (capital) and society as a whole. The contradictions between these groups of interests are investigated and the different already realized variants of compromise between them are considered, as well as other possible variants of such a compromise. The positions of different schools and currents of economic thought are analyzed from the point of their orientation predominantly to this or that interests, protection and realization of which are included in the functions of the state. The main points of disputes on these questions are marked. On the basis of the highlighting the main interests being defended by state the idea of three forms of state is formulated: state-bureaucrat, statecapital and state-society. Author treats the development of economic functions of a state in the conditions of late capitalism as transformation of state itself into the functioning capitalist. From the point of view of historical development of the state functions, the probable shifts in these functions are treated as response to the challenges connected with the evolution of modern economy. For instance, the usage of newly formed post-market (or transitory to post-market) relations in the economic functions of state is investigated. These transitory post-market relations are increasing the potential possibilities to implement the state function of social interests’ representative. As one of the probable variants of possible evolution of contemporary state and the reasons for the shift into the liberal-conservative direction are analyzed, as well as the workable alternative for this shift.

The construction of the state apparatus is usually a complicated and long process, requiring not only legislative, but also material and social base.The deficit of all these elements made the organization of the Polish administration in the Recovered Territories a serious challenge, both from the logistical and the formal point of view. In these circumstances, the efficiency of actions was a priority. For this reason, the administration on this territorieshad to be simplified. Before the final model for the administration of recovered lands was developed, there were several temporary variants. In this study, the author tries to present a further variant of the administration of the recovered territories.

The article is devoted to the study of the formation of the coordination function of the state at the stage of the Ukrainian revolution of 1917-1921. During this time, the Central Rada and the last Hetman of Ukraine Pavlo Skoropadskyi managed to prove themselves the most in the field of state building. The author's attention is focused on their role in the formation of the coordination function of the state in Ukraine. It was found that from the point of view of formation and reform of the state mechanism (including the coordination function of the state), the Ukrainian revolution of 1917-1921 conditionally includes two periods: the period of the Central Rada and the period of Hetman P. Skoropadsky. In the context of state formation, the period of the Central Rada was marked, first of all, by the adoption of the four Universals and the proclamation of the Ukrainian People's Republic. During the activity of P. Skoropadsky's government in Ukraine the relations of the state with citizens were settled for the first time (by passing the law on citizenship), the process of formation of the institute of civil service was started. The author argues that from the point of view of forming the coordination function of the state, it is inappropriate to distinguish between the periods of the Central Rada and the Hetmanate of Pavel Skoropadsky. The characteristic features of the period of the Ukrainian revolution of 1917-1921 as a stage of development of administrative and legal regulation of the coordination function of the state are singled out, which include: Ukrainization of elements of the state apparatus; lack of clear demarcation of these elements; uncertainty of coordination objects; lack of proper administrative and legal basis for the coordination function of the state, it whas the declarative of plans for its creation. It is concluded that the conclusion that it is not expedient to distinguish the periods of the Central Rada and the Hetmanate of Pavlo Skoropadsky as separate stages of development of administrative and legal regulation of the coordination function of the state. During this period, the state was actively reformed, however, perhaps due to its short duration, and perhaps for other objective and subjective reasons, no cardinal achievements in the context of the coordination function of the state were observed. Moreover, the stage of the Ukrainian State is characterized by the same problems as the period of the Ukrainian People's Republic.
