State Authority

The state authority is one of the major elements of the state organization, therefore the issues related to formation, development and modern state of the system of authority in our state are prior subject areas of the Presidential Library.

For the 1st September 2011 the Presidential Library has developed an electronic collection featuring official and archival documents, official, scientific, popular science and educational editions, analytic materials, photo and newsreel, audio and video records, documentaries. The materials describe the particularities of the Russian state authority in different historical periods, legal basis for is activities and modern trends of development.

The core of the collection represent digital copies of published and unpublished official documents, as well as materials treating with development of particular branches and public authorities, and with life and work of certain statesmen. Especially highlighted are the documents revealing the implementation of the idea of e-government.

The documents are grouped by subject sections with brief annotations revealing their content. Every section starts with materials of general character, other documents are presented in accordance with the logic of the section – in alphabetic order, by geographic names or direct chronology of the events described. Descriptions of the documents, whose full texts are available only in the Electronic Reading Room of the Presidential Library due to limits of legal nature, are accompanied with the relevant information.
