Аннотация

In article public legal formation is studied as the organizational and legal embodiment of state and in
the publication analyzes using the normative and systematic methods, as well as analysis and synthesis, the content
of the Russian legislation and the works of legal scholars.
The author came to a conclusion that «to be a subject of legal relations» means only to have ability to enter
them. Therefore nothing and nobody can treat a sort of such phenomena as a legal entity or subject of legal
relationship as ability is one of attributes. When public formation is called legal entity, often on a background the
fact it is officials and bodies of public government (public administration and local government) ordered in structure
and that the most important function of public formation – right ensuring.
According to the author legal personality of public formation and legal personality of its bodies also mutually
depend on each other. On the one hand, public formation as phenomenon, ideal in terms of philosophy, cannot carry
out any actions as legal entity without actions of people – bodies and officials. On the other hand, state and municipal
bodies and officials or act as legal entities – representatives of state or municipality (for example, governor in
relations with legal entities which exist out of state), or their legal personality is based on they are recognized as a
part of public formation, entering relations with its population or with other bodies and officials of this public
formation. At the same time legal personality of public formation is not the sum of legal personality of all public
bodies neither particular bodies of public formation, nor all of them combined are legal entities of state or municipal
property.
