Dynamics of the local self-government system in the regions of Southwest Siberia: territorial and organizational aspect

Abstract
The development of the institution of self-government in Russia in previous decades faced numerous systemic problems of resource, organizational and social nature, which led to the dependence of it on the state power. Further integration into the unified system of power in the Russian Federation was secured by the constitutional amendments of 2020. However, at the regional level, particularly in the regions of Southwestern Siberia, the process of centralization began earlier, starting as early as the mid-2000s. Indicators of this trend were the abandonment of the election of the majority of local government officials, the merger of municipalities, and, more recently, the transition to municipal districts.
