The subject of the research is the establishment and application of official awards at the municipal level of government, including award legislation and the practice of its application.
The purpose of the article is to confirm or disprove the hypothesis of an existence of an
award policy and system of awards for the municipal level of government in Russia.
The methodological basis of the research is the general scientific dialectical method of cognition (such as methods of analysis and synthesis, abstraction and concretization, induction,
deduction and analogy), as well as the method of monitoring of legal acts, historical and
legal method, system analysis.
The main results of the research. A comprehensive analysis of existing regulations and description the general contours of the award policy for the municipal level of government were
made. The following classification of awards applicable to municipal authorities can be distinguished. By type of award: honorary titles, medals, distinctions and incentives, as well as
grants and prizes. Depending on the subject that establishes the award: state, municipal or
public awards; moreover, you should distinguish between awards established by a public legal
entity (award of the Russian Federation, of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation, a
municipality) or a separate public authority. Depending on the subject receiving the award
(the awarding subject): awards that are established both for the municipality as a whole, and
for individual officials or other employees of local self-government bodies; a separate category
consists of awards provided for the territorial bodies or their representatives. Currently, there
is no single document outlining the system of awards of the Russian Federation.
Conclusions. Monitoring of normative legal acts of local self-government bodies has shown
that it is quite rare to find documents that regulate the award policy of a municipality. There
is practically no award policy for local government bodies or their officials, as well as awards
for contributions to the development of local self-government.
