The Institute of Instructions of Voters to Deputies in the History of State and Law of Russia
( Pp. 90-95)

The article examines the institution of voter orders in the history of the state and law of Russia, which has great potential as a mechanism for direct democracy and generalization of the aspirations and needs of the population at the present stage. The institution of orders is well known in the history of the Russian state and its individual regions. Historical examples of appeals to the people’s instructions to representatives of state authorities are given. The author concludes that the use of penalties can be a significant factor in overcoming social tension in society, developing ways to effectively solve problems of regional and local importance, as well as contributing to the growth of the authority of public authorities.
