To the issue of determining the range of subjects of legality

According to the traditional understanding of legality, all subjects of law are considered as its subjects: the state and its bodies, officials, public organizations, citizens. When considering the question of citizens' belonging to the subjects of legality, it is necessary to divide the latter into two categories: citizens who are not endowed with any powers, and citizens who are endowed with certain powers. At the same time, it is possible to single out a group of citizens who are not state employees, but in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, they are temporarily endowed with various types of power. The following group includes citizens who may not be civil servants, but, in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, are temporarily vested with various kinds of power - these are members of election commissions. It is necessary to note one more group of citizens who may not be civil servants, but, in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, are temporarily vested with various kinds of power - these are members of public supervisory commissions created on the basis of Part 2 of Art. 9 of the Federal Law “On the Basics of Public Control in the Russian Federation”.
