The subject of scientific and theoretical analysis was the concept of local selfgovernment in the now widely discussed draft law on the organization of local self-government. Its comparison with the current version of the basic law on local self-government and the novelties of the 2020 Constitution of the Russian Federation revealed significant changes not in favor of the “updated model” (as the developers of the bill call it). The latter did not reflect the constitutional status of local self-government as an element of public authority. The legal construction proposed by the developers "self-organization of citizens", according to the author, deprives local self-government of power, and democracy as the basic principle of the constitutional system remains outside the new understanding of local self-government. Attention is also drawn to the inaccuracy of the definition of the goal-setting of local self-government, which deviates from the established constitutional terminology. The author formulated a definition of local self-government, emphasizing its role in the system of public authority, reflecting the modern constitutional model and preserving the basic values of the current law.
