Organizing the interaction among different levels of public authority in the russian federation in the context of covid-19 restrictions

The study aims at assessing legal norms governing the interaction of public authorities in the Russian Federation in the context of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the practice of organizing such interaction. Their implementation was studied with the help of analytical and statistical materials, as well as reviews of litigation practice. The authors of the article used the following methods: general philosophical and general and special scientific methods. As a result, they determined several problems that hinder the effective legal regulation of the interaction among public authorities during the COVID-19 pandemic. They are as follows: mixing legal regimes that establish the rules of conduct and standard operating activities of citizens and organizations in the conditions of a pandemic disease; the refusal of the federal government to specify the scope of regional powers in the sphere of protecting the rights and freedoms of an individual; the insufficient efficiency of special bodies protecting the population from emergencies; the insufficient legal guarantees of local self-government bodies when fulfilling their public functions
