Abstract

The article examines dynamics and factors of municipal models reforming in the municipal settlements of modern Russia. The author focuses on the cancelation of the municipal heads’ elections. The key analytical method is matching of the regional legislative regulation with financial and demographic statistics. The author study case of the Central federal district and reveal four groups of the regions with different practices of the elections’ cancellation. The main shift in this process occurred in the 2014, when regional legislatures massively passed laws regulating models of the municipal governments. The main factor influencing the specific of the regional legislative regulation was the budgetary strength of the municipalities. Generally regional governments were seeking for the control over the settlements with poor income or significant amount of the delegated government competences. In the other cases regions sought to control resources of the wealthy settlements. The small amount of the exceptions was tied with normally provided settlements without significant number of the delegated government competences
