ABSTRACT

The monograph examines the legal liability of public officials within the system of public authority in contemporary Russia. It explores the legal status of public officials, the types of offenses they commit, and the specific features of disciplinary, administrative, and criminal liability. The analysis draws on statutory provisions, judicial practice, statistical data, and cases involving the imposition of legal liability on public officials at various levels of government. Particular attention is paid to dismissal due to loss of trust, termination of official powers, fines calculated as multiples of the amount involved in an offense, confiscation of property, and other public-law consequences. The monograph is intended for researchers, university faculty, students, and state and municipal officials.
