Federal Agency for State Property Management as a subject of public administration

The analysis of regulatory legal acts, court decisions, scientific sources and educational literature conducted in the article demonstrates the place of the Federal Agency for State Property Management in the system of administrative law in Russia. The individual powers of the Federal Agency for State Property Management are analyzed, characterizing it not only as an executive authority, but also as a subject included in centralized public administration. The article argues for the idea that the Federal Agency for State Property Management implements the will of the state as a shareholder in an administrative and procedural form, which fits into the concept of “administrative activities”. In Russian law, the institute of directives (administrative acts of the Federal Agency for State Property Management) to representatives of the state has been formed and is successfully functioning. The special feature of the disposal of state-owned land plots is shown. It is noted that cases of leasing immovable state property or alienation by unauthorized persons (without the consent of the owner) face many problems, which lead to contesting transactions with the property and to its seizure.
