Administrative legal status of Russian citizens: some features

The administrative legal status of Russian citizens is clearly defined in the Russian Constitution, the law on citizenship, as well as some other legal acts. In particular, in the family and civil codes regulating the sphere of civil legal relations.

The constitutional status of a citizen of the Russian Federation follows from the provisions of the concept of Russian citizenship, enshrined in constitutional normative acts, in the orders of local government and state administrations. Such status, in addition, determines the basic rights and freedoms of a citizen, his duties as a Russian state submitted. Separate item "rules of communication" with public authorities are prescribed. Particular attention is paid to the description of legal mechanisms for the protection of civil rights.

Among the latter, administrative tools are associated with the traditions of the functioning of the domestic bureaucratic system, as well as ship mechanisms that allow officials to be brought to administrative and even criminal responsibility, if necessary.

The legal status of a citizen of the Russian Federation presupposes the existence of the following rights and freedoms:

• The right to personal inviolability. Restriction of freedom is possible only by a court decision;
• The right to own and dispose of private property. This means that no official, state or political institution, local government can "just" take away anybody's property, including by decision of the local legislative assembly;
• Right of inviolability of the home. The legal status of a citizen implies that no one has the right to penetrate the territory of another's home, including a land plot due to the fact that land, house, apartment, etc. are considered private property with all the ensuing legal consequences;
• The right to privacy and secrecy of correspondence. Restriction - solely by a court order;
• The abolition of a residence permit means the right to free movement. The administrative legal status of Russian citizens allows you to choose your own place of residence throughout the country;
• The right to elect and be elected. Perhaps, this is the main political and status characteristic of what we call the "administrative legal status of Russian citizens." Absence of electoral rights actually neutralizes Russian citizenship as a political and legal phenomenon;
• The right of personal communication, through which a person is given the opportunity to independently draft and send personal and collective complaints to the authorities, and, therefore, communicate with officials "on an equal footing";
• The right to association presupposes the freedom of collective assembly and the collective upholding of common rights and freedoms. In addition, the administrative legal status of Russian citizens implies unhindered registration of public organizations and associations, their free activity within the legal framework of the Russian Federation.

It should be clarified that citizenship demonstrates a direct political and legal "bundle" of a specific person and state. And the latter acts as a guarantor of the rights and freedoms of the citizen, who in turn agrees to some restriction of his freedom in exchange for personal security.
