One of the main principles of civil society is the participation of its members in the management of the social development of society. This means to influence the development, adoption and implementation of managerial decisions. In this methodology, i.e. the theory of citizens' participation in solving problems in their places of residence. The object of the study is local government. The subject of the study is the transformation of local self-government. The purpose of the work is to analyze from a historical perspective the local government that took place in the USSR (in Moscow in the 80th on the basis of the Law of the USSR on local self-government, the years of the committees of public self-government were established) with local self-government in modern Russia. Of considerable interest in this historical analysis is not only local self-government (it was ubiquitous in the USSR), but the creation in Moscow in the 80 years of committees of public self-government (KOS). They were organized by residents of micro-districts in Moscow in connection with the appearance on their territories of problems that the residents tried to solve themselves. The first KOS were created in such microdistricts of Moscow as Arbat (elderly people did not want to leave for other places in the city), like Brateevo-a new residential complex with very poor ecology, like Golyanovo-rayon with the lack of cultural institutions. The leadership of Moscow supported the organization of these committees. The Moscow City Council developed an "Approximate Provision on Public Self-Government on the Territory of the District Soviet of People's Deputies of Moscow." In connection with the change in socio-economic formation, the disintegration of the USSR has also changed local self-government. Under the RF law of 1993, local self-government is municipalities. The Institute of Sociology of the Russian Academy of Sciences conducted a representative study among the citizens of the country (2016). Among the questions were: what significance does local government have for Russians? It turned out to be significant. But now less than a quarter of the country's population trusts in self-government. Approximately the same number of citizens can influence municipalities. What's the matter here? In the same study of the Institute of Sociology respondents were asked how important it is for them to participate in public work, interest in politics. Only 10% of all age groups answered yes to this question. People are not involved in public life, which is an important indicator of the state of civil society. Scientists engaged in self-management propose to develop social technologies in order to attract citizens to participate in solving topical issues in their territories

In modern conditions, Russian citizens live only in municipalities, so the closest level of power for the population is municipal. Most of the issues of local importance, the subjects of conduct come from the life-supporting group of functions of local authorities, and these are the cases that every resident of the municipality needs. The practice of functioning of the municipal economic complex is complicated by a number of circumstances. Over the past decade, the number of devolved powers from the Federal and regional levels to the municipal level has increased by about one third. At the same time, the principle of subsidiarity is often not fulfilled, namely, that the transferred powers, which have become issues of local self-government and the objects of responsibility of the municipality, do not receive appropriate funding from the budget or extra-budgetary funds of the higher level of power. In addition, the presence of municipal institutions (e.g., health care, social protection) does not release the local authorities from responsibility for their functioning. With a significant increase in the number of issues of local importance and, at the same time, the lack of own income, the problem of effective use of the potential of development of the municipality. It is no coincidence that the decree Of the Government of the Russian Federation dated December 17, 2012 №1317 «On measures for the implementation of the decree of the President of the Russian Federation» dated April 28, 2008 №607 «On the evaluation of the effectiveness of local governments of urban districts and municipal areas» and paragraph 2 of the decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated May 7, 2012 №601 «On the main directions of improving the system of public administration» defines a list of indicators for assessing the effectiveness of local governments of urban districts and municipal areas, including indicators of the Russian Federation, necessary for the calculation of inefficient local budget expenditures. The first section of these indicators is economic development. Implementation of new approaches to local governance remains insufficient. In most municipalities, the organizational and management potential is not fully used, there are significant reserves for improving the efficiency of local development management. Many municipalities do not have strategic planning technologies. In existing development plans and programmes, targets often do not meet the real needs of the local population. Individual development plans and programmes developed by local organizations do not contain a well-developed implementation mechanism, which leads to contradictions in the system of objectives and insufficient resources in the development management process. In the context of a significant increase in the number of municipalities, reduction of local taxes and fees, reducing the revenue of local budgets, the problem of effective use of their own development potential becomes particularly relevant. In this regard, a number of new theoretical developments and concepts of integration processes on the basis of corporate mechanisms of development of the municipality.

Purpose. Research of pension provision for long service of municipal employees as a way of compensation of social risk of persistent disability, identification of problems of legal regulation in this sphere. Methods. The article analyzes the provisions of federal laws, the laws of the subjects of the Russian Federation on pensions for seniority of municipal employees, state civil servants. International standards for establishing the retirement age, foreign experience in the legal regulation of relevant public relations have been attracted. Comparative characteristics of the provisions of regulatory legal acts allowed to substantiate proposals for improving the current legislation. Results. The paper analyzes the current state of legislation on pension provision for long service of municipal employees, with an emphasis on recent changes affecting the retirement age of municipal employees, as well as state civil servants, and increasing the required length of service for the state civil and municipal service. The conducted research led to the conclusion that, even before the reform, the institution of long service pensions was questioning its defensive function, and after innovations it almost lost its role as an incentive to long and effective activity in the municipal service. It is shown that some reasons for dismissal from service unnecessarily deprive a citizen of retirement for long service. The mechanism of calculation of the named pension is studied and the conclusion that the mechanism fixed in the federal legislation, frequently does not allow to speak about an opportunity of indemnification of social risk by means of this payment is proved. As a conclusion, it is proposed to expand the list of grounds for dismissal from the state civil and municipal service entitling the appointment of a pension for long service, and also to fix in the Federal Law "On State Pensions", in addition to the mechanism for calculating the retirement pension for its minimum size as additional payments to the old-age insurance pension (for disability). Scientific novelty. The scientific novelty lies in the analysis of federal laws, laws of the subjects of the Russian Federation and the identification of shortcomings in the provision of pensions for the long service of municipal employees as a means of compensating for social risk, proposing changes in legislation.
