The Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg has adopted a law, according to which local self-government in St. Petersburg should be included into a unified system of public authority. Such an amendment has been made not only in federal laws, but also in the law of St. Petersburg.
This initiative was developed and adopted in December 2021. The inclusion of local self-government into a unified system of public authority means that municipalities will not be independent and will depend on higher state authorities.
