PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT OF THE PUBLIC AUTHORITIES AND GOVERNANCE BODIES IN RUSSIA

Abstract

The article analyzes the main performance indicators of the public authorities and governance bodies in Russia as well as reveals significant problems inherent in the Russian system of public administration. The purpose of the work is to assess the performance of the Russian public authorities and governance bodies based on statistical data. Method or methodology of work: general scientific methods, techniques of scientific abstraction, observation and systemic research. Results. Performance assessment of the public authorities and governance bodies reveals the fact that the bureaucracy in Russia is rather large and its functioning involves high expenditures. The e-government system is still far from being highly developed, which makes it difficult to fully implement online coordination of government structures with both the business sector and households. An analysis of the indicators of the population's living standards shows rather low real income levels and a significant social stratification of Russian society, which negatively characterizes the functioning of the public administration system. Practical implications. The results of the study can be used by the Russian public authorities and governance bodies to develop criteria aimed at increasing their performance level and the standard of living of the country's population, as well as by researchers studying the problems in this area.
