Legal regulation of state museum policy in the post-Soviet period: problems and prospects

The main objective of the study is to study the specifics of legal regulation in the implementation of state museum policy in the post-Soviet period, as well as to identify its dynamics at the present stage. Based on the identified block of problems, the features of the basic legislative regulation of museum policy are determined. As a result of the study, general problems of the current legislation related to the presence of serious gaps in the composition of the established responsibilities of government bodies in the museum sphere are identified. The conducted analysis of legal acts allows us to conclude that the state responsibilities established by law should clearly define the need and obligation of the corresponding forms of their support from government bodies declared in the museum policy.
