ORGANIZATION OF PUBLIC ANTI-CORRUPTION EXAMINATION IN THE SUBJECT OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

The article deals with the organization of public anti-corruption control in the subjects of the Russian Federation. The significant role of civil society in the fight against corruption is shown. The normative legal documents defining the bases of public control in the Russian Federation, including the strategy, Federal laws, and decrees of the President of the Russian Federation are analyzed. The main attention is paid to the activities of subjects of public control, carried out for the purpose of analysis and public evaluation of acts issued by public authorities, and local authorities. The Public Chamber of the Russian Federation and the Public Chambers of the RF subjects are defined as the main subjects of public control; public anti-corruption expertise of normative legal acts and draft normative legal acts carried out by them is one of the main directions of their activity on corruption prevention. The study examined the provisions on experts and the procedure for public examination adopted by the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation and Public Chambers of a number of subjects of the Russian Federation. Significant differences in the definition of requirements to the experts and to the definition of content expertise are revealed. The analysis of the organization of public expertise as one of the components of public anti-corruption control in the subjects of the Russian Federation reveals a number of problems, which include the lack of a significant part of public experts of special knowledge and experience to conduct a qualified anti-corruption expertise of normative legal acts, and draft normative legal acts, which allows the authorities not to take into account the comments received, thus turning public anti-corruption control into fiction. The imperfection of the normative documents adopted in the Public Chambers of the Russian Federation' subjects makes it much more difficult to conduct public anti-corruption expertise. At the same time, positive trends in the work of subjects of public control in the Russian Federation have been indicated, which expand the opportunities of direct participation of citizens in the implementation of anti-corruption control.
