The Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, when considering the specific cases of the establishment of the procedure of revocation on regional and municipal levels, agreed with the concept of its admissibility subject to a number of significant pre-conditions, including the grounds for revocation (specific illegal actions (inaction)). The current regulation on the grounds of revocation causes a significant peculiarity of this procedure, which combines components of legal responsibility and direct democracy. The relevant approach is substantially different from the existence of revocation in the logic of the imperative mandate. In the latter case, the grounds for revocation are provided in a regulatory way, but they are formulated very widely, they are subject to arbitrary valuation interpretation. The analysis of regulatory material enables the author of the article to conclude that law-making bodies of the Russian Federation subjects and municipal entities, as a rule, are not adapted to perceive formulations of the Federal laws in respect of the grounds of revocation. At the same time, this approach does not take into account the logic of the framework legal regulation at the Federal level and does not provide a full implementation of the legal positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation on this issue. ; Конституционный Суд РФ при рассмотрении конкретных случаев установления института отзыва на региональном и муниципальных уровнях согласился с принципиальной его допустимостью при условии соблюдения ряда существенных установок, в т. ч. касающихся оснований проведения отзыва (конкретные противоправные действия (бездействие)). Действующее регулирование по вопросу оснований отзыва обусловливает существенное своеобразие данного института, который соединяет в себе компоненты юридической ответственности и непосредственной демократии. Соответствующий подход существенно отличается от функционирования отзыва в логике императивного мандата. В последнем случае основания для отзыва если нормативно и предусматриваются, то формулируются предельно широко, подлежат произвольной оценочной интерпретации. Анализ нормативного материала позволяет сделать вывод о том, что правотворческие органы субъектов РФ и муниципальных образований, как правило, неадаптированно воспринимают формулы федеральных законов в отношении оснований отзыва. В то же время такой подход не учитывает логики рамочного правового регулирования на федеральном уровне и не обеспечивает в полной мере реализацию правовых позиций Конституционного Суда РФ по рассматриваемому вопросу.

The article is devoted to the current legal regulation of the revocation of deputies and elected officials by voters. At the post-Soviet stage of the Russian constitutional and legal development, there was a rejection of the idea of a mandatory mandate in favor of a free one. At the same time, this has not led to the complete disappearance of the system of the law of institutions of orders, revocation and reporting of elected officials. However, in the changed political and legal context they have acquired a different content. First of all, it concerns the institute of revocation. The latter was significantly reformatted (largely under the influence of the legal positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation), as the preservation of its former content was poorly correlated with the new constitutional reality. In relation to this, this article analyzes the current legislation and legal positions of the courts, revealing certain aspects of the legal regulation of revocation in Russia at the present stage (scope, legal grounds for revocation, requirements for the number of votes required to recognize the revocation as valid). The issues of the political and legal nature of revocation in Russia at the current moment and legal obstacles to the implementation of this tool in practice are also considered. As a result of research the author came to the conclusion that to give the revocation the real constitutional and legal values identified with the preservation of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation of its legal nature, a clear distinction of the subject of legal assessment of revoked entity acts (the court) and the subject entitled to implement the consequences of the assessment decision (the electorate) is necessary. This is possible by changing the approach to the range of grounds for revocation (their limitation), which will reduce the requirements for the majority of voters required for revocation.
