ON THE NATURE, ESSENCE AND EFFECTIVENESS OF STATE ADMINISTRATION OF RURAL TERRITORIES
The article notes that one of the reasons for the crisis in the Russian countryside is the insufficient development of the theory of rural management. As a result, the functions of state governance in the countryside are formed without due consideration of the factors of rural development; there are no scientifically substantiated principles for the distribution of these functions by administrative levels. In addition, the activities of the authorities responsible for the socio-economic state of the village are carried out without full consideration of the main purpose of the functions under consideration - the provision of comprehensive support to entrepreneurial structures, the population and other management objects in the territory. The current situation has led to the fact that two key tasks of public administration - the development and full use of the potential of rural areas - are not being effectively addressed, which became the main reason for the crisis in the countryside.
