ADMINISTRATIVE DISPUTES AS AN INTEGRAL ELEMENT OF CONTEMPORARY RUSSIAN LEGAL SYSTEM

The subject. The article is devoted to the study of a wide variety of administrative disputes arising in the Russian legal system, but insufficiently studied by domestic administrative legal science. The purpose of the article is scientific substantiation of the concept, key elements and system of administrative disputes in the Russian Federation, identification of the constitutional foundations for the development of the institute of administrative disputes and proceedings for the resolution of administrative disputes. The methodology of research includes formal logic and systemic approach as well as legal dogmatic method, method of interpretation of legal norms, method of comparative jurisprudence. The main results, scope of application. An administrative dispute is proposed to be understood as a documented disagreement of a subject of administrative or administrative-procedural legal relations with the decision, action or inaction of a public administration body (official) or another entity implementing or assisting in the implementation of administrative public functions which, in the opinion of the applicant of the dispute violates, infringes or encumbers his subjective right. Such disagreement is addressed to the competent authority (authorized official) of the public administration or the competent court (authorized judge) in order to resolve this disagreement in a special extrajudicial or judicial administrative procedure. The key elements that make it possible to characterize an administrative dispute are: 1) the objects; 2) the matter; 3) the purposefulness of the administrative dispute. The connecting link between the presented elements of an administrative dispute is the subjective right of participants in administrative and administrative-procedural legal relations, or to put it another way - subjective law arising from administrative and administrative-procedural legal relations, which is understood as a collective category combining such a well-known legal structure as "rights, freedoms, legitimate interests ", as well as individual elements of the administrative-legal status of the applicant of the dispute, established by the administrative -procedural law, which require extra-judicial or judicial protection in an administrative dispute (first of all, procedural guarantees of innocence and good faith). Conclusions. Administrative disputes primarily arise from administrative and administrative-procedural legal relations that develop during the implementation of administrative public functions by specialized public authorities and authorized organizations, which in a generalized form are proposed to be called public administration bodies. In some cases, administrative disputes arise from administrative and administrative-procedural legal relations in which public administration bodies and their officials do not participate. These administrative disputes arise in connection with the provision of assistance to the public administration in the performance of its administrative public functions.
