Sovereignty and Promotion of the Human Factor in the System of Unity of Public Authorities

The author examines the problems of popular and state sovereignty that determine the democratic essence of the Russian Federation and ensure social and state stability. The modern development of the Russian state presupposes a fair social structure, determined by the active role of the people based on the implementation of the principle of popular sovereignty. State sovereignty is not a principle — a privilege, but a duty of the state to ensure guarantees of the rights of its citizens. The popular character of Russian statehood is determined not by “transferred democracy” — “participation in elections”, but by the embodiment of the idea of a state based on the implementation of popular sovereignty. At the same time, attention is focused on the need to move from the bottom up — from small politics at the municipal level to big politics of the state as a whole.
