Abstract:
In 2020, the concept, status, and list of legally protected values were legislatively enshrined (the values that are directly significant for all people: the life and health of people, their property in all its manifestations, personal data, animals and plants, the environment, etc.). State bodies were tasked to minimize the risk of harm to these values; therefore, state (municipal) control and supervision measures should be aimed directly at protecting these values from state-controlled risks. Undoubtedly, Russian citizens are interested both in maintaining the already existing level of protection of values that are significant to them as well as in improving this protection. Sociological surveys conducted by the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration among citizens and business representatives show that the protection of values also depends on the activities of state control and supervisory bodies. In the article, the author gives the dynamics of citizens’ assessment of the protection of these values and considers what exactly affects their security. Also, the article assesses the role of the control and supervisory activities of the state within the framework of ensuring the security of these values, shows the prospects for enhancing security, and proposes a program for increasing protection. The author believes that if we continue to conduct these surveys, then we will be able to assess the effectiveness of the current reform of control and supervisory activities from the citizens’ point of view, including the “regulatory guillotine” and its impact on the protection of the values protected by law that are significant for citizens.
