The administrative legal status of citizens of the Russian Federation is clearly defined in the Russian Constitution, the law on citizenship, as well as some other legal acts. In particular, in the family and civil codes governing the scope of civil relations.
The constitutional status of a citizen of the Russian Federation follows from the provisions of the concept of Russian citizenship, enshrined in constitutional regulations, in the orders of local governments and state administrations. This status, in addition, determines the basic rights and freedoms of a citizen, his duties as a filed Russian state. Separate paragraphs are prescribed "rules of communication" with public authorities. Particular attention is paid to the description of legal mechanisms for the protection of civil rights.
Among the latter, administrative tools are identified that are associated with the traditions of the functioning of the domestic bureaucratic system, as well as ship mechanisms that make it possible to bring officials to administrative and even criminal liability, if necessary.
The legal status of a citizen of the Russian Federation implies the following rights and freedoms:
- right to security of person. Restriction of freedom is possible only by court order;
- ownership and disposition of private property. This means that not a single official, state or political institution, local government can “just so” take away someone else’s property, including by decision of the local legislative assembly;
- home inviolability right. The legal status of a citizen implies that no one has the right to enter the territory of someone else’s home, including the land, due to the fact that land, a house, an apartment, etc. are considered private property with all the legal consequences arising from it;
- right to privacy and privacy of correspondence. Restriction - solely by court order;
- cancellation of registration means obtaining the right to free movement. The administrative legal status of citizens of the Russian Federation allows you to independently choose a place of residence throughout the country;
- the right to elect and be elected. Perhaps this is the main political status characteristic of what we call the "administrative legal status of citizens of the Russian Federation." The absence of suffrage actually eliminates the citizenship of the Russian Federation as a political and legal phenomenon;
- the right to personal communication, thanks to which a person is given the opportunity to independently compose and send personal and collective complaints to the authorities, and, therefore, communicate with officials “on an equal footing”;
- the right to association implies freedom of collective assembly and collective defense of common rights and freedoms. In addition, the administrative legal status of citizens of the Russian Federation implies the unimpeded registration of public organizations and associations, their free activity within the framework of the legal field of the Russian Federation.
It should be clarified that citizenship demonstrates a direct political and legal “bundle” of a specific person and state. Moreover, the latter acts as a guarantor of the rights and freedoms of a citizen, who, in turn, agrees to some restriction of his freedom in exchange for personal security.
