The article analyzes various aspects of the legal nature of the institution of the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation, emphasizes the versatility of its human rights activities in cooperation with public institutions. The effectiveness of such interaction is justified, including by the example of cooperation with the Scientific and Educational Center for Human Rights (REC) at the O. Е. Кутаfin University (MSLA). There are difficulties in the work of the commissioners, due to the fact that the increasing digital literacy of the population makes it relatively easy to send an appeal to the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation, regional commissioners, and the capabilities of these bodies are quite limited. In this regard, some proposals are formulated. The author analyzes the possibilities for the implementation of human and civil rights and freedoms by the Commissioners with the support of civil society institutions, suggests developing such interaction in different directions, and considers the criteria for the effectiveness of the institution of commissioners, including such an indicator as interaction with civil society institutions.
