The activities of self-government bodies in any region directly depend on its material base, on the financial resources that the authorities have, on what are the economic foundations of local self-government. For example, if in a rural school the payment for heating, meals for children in the canteen, and payment for teachers' group work rests entirely with the local authorities and is not sponsored from above, there will most likely be problems. As a rule, taxes and other fees on the ground are not so high as to provide all the needs and requirements from the local budget. Therefore, the gas will be extremely economized, and the students along with the teachers will freeze. Children will have to eat monotonous and scarce, cheaper in the canteen. Many circles will not be able to function - there will be nothing to pay for the work of teachers. Pupils will suffer because their interests, needs cannot be realized, and teachers: their load will be incomplete, and their salaries will be cut.
The economic basis of local self-government includes the right to independently manage all types of municipal property, form, approve, use the local budget, and establish local taxes. Without an economic platform, there can be no talk of any local government. That is why the Constitution enshrines the basic economic rights of local authorities.
Thus, the economic basis of local government is:
• all property that is in municipal ownership. This can be enterprises, banks and other financial organizations, educational institutions, institutions related to health or belonging to the cultural department, municipal sports institutions, etc .;
• local budget with all its means;
• property rights of municipalities .

The real possibilities of self-government
Municipalities are considered urban and rural settlements, as well as areas, urban districts, intracity territories of cities with federal status. Citizens can mainly exercise their right to self-government in municipal units small in territory. In larger entities, the entire economic basis of local self-government is subordinate to the local administration, which assumes all rights and obligations, as well as to those self-government bodies that are allowed by the charter of municipal units. They are the ones who solve property, financial issues, improvement issues, and many others. But since all this is done on behalf of citizens, it is necessary to form an active life position among the population, a sense of master and an understanding that local self-government should protect and observe, first of all, their interests, because they are considered by law to be the owners of municipal property.
