LEGISLATIVE INITIATIVE OF PROSECUTORS AS AN ELEMENT OF MODERNIZATION OF THE NATIONAL PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE

The study is devoted to the implementation by prosecutors of all levels of the function of Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation, such as participation in law-making activities. Historical and legal analysis of this work of prosecutors has been carried out, starting with the formation of the national supervisory authority of state power to this day. Tendency to expand the powers of prosecutors in the field under study has been revealed. Reasoned justification is given for why the current procedure for granting district (city) level prosecutors the right to legislative (rule-making) initiative by the charters of the relevant municipalities is a violation. At the same time, the work proves the expediency, and most importantly, the necessity of this violation. The study also reveals the reasons why granting the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation,  who heads the central body of the supervisory branch of government, the constitutional right to legislative initiative is a way to strengthen and modernize the architecture of both the Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation and the domestic system of separation of powers, since, firstly, it is useful for the state from a managerial point of view, and secondly, in this case, the fundamental principle of «checks and balances» will be respected. Based on the results of the study, clear conclusions were drawn and specific recommendations were presented, the implementation of which can solve the identified problems.
