Abstract
The article examines the legislative acts of the Kaluga and Vladimir regions on local self-government, adopted in the period from 1993 to 2003. The examination of such experience seems to be especially practicable regarding continuation of the process of reforming the system of local self-government in the Russian Federation, since the study of the formation of the foundations of local self-government in the subjects of the Russian Federation makes it possible to identify the problems and prospects of a similar process in the current conditions, particularly after the adoption of the new Federal Law No. 33-FZ. Federal Law No. 154-FZ acts adopted by Kaluga and Vladimir regional soviets, basic laws of these regions on local self-government are also considered. Regional laws are also considered in the context of compliance with the mentioned Federal Law No. 154-FZ. Comments are given on the possible reasons for the formation of local self-government related to the interaction of regional and local elites, compliance with certain democratic standards and the degree of legitimacy of local governments, the order of formation of which was determined by the regulatory legal acts of the Kaluga and Vladimir regions. Regional legislation on the issues of local self-government, adopted in the Kaluga and Vladimir regions from 01.01.1994 to 06.10.2003 is analysed. Based on this analysis and the comparison of regional laws, conclusions are drawn about the approaches used by regional legislators to form the regulatory framework in the 1990s.
