Objective: to perform typologization of organizations in the aspect of counteracting corruption based on generalization of approaches to understanding organizations and highlighting their types in the system of scientific knowledge.Methods: general scientific method of dialectical cognition, as well as a number of specific scientific methods, such as legal, systemic-structural, formal-logical, etc.Results: a significant obstacle in building a system of corruption counteraction in organizations is the lack of fundamental intersectoral scientific research ranking organizations depending on the degree of influence of their activities on national security. The typologization of organizations in the aspect of corruption counteraction is of great methodological importance, since it allows establishing the basic scientific and practical approaches to ensuring anti-corruption activities, depending on the degree of corruption-related danger of such organizations. Generalization of approaches to the understanding of organizations and the identification of their varieties allowed establishing the dominance of civil law in the knowledge of organizations. At the same time, the classifications of organizations used in this branch of law do not enable to achieve the goal of this study. In this regard, within the framework of this work, the need for interdisciplinary scientific knowledge of the essential characteristics of organizations is actualized, the identification of signs for the typologization of organizations is problematized, and a working typology of organizations in the aspect of combating corruption is proposed. The further scientific cognition of corruption manifestations and mechanisms of their reproduction in the activities of various types of organizations will make it possible to reveal the reserves of anti-corruption activities and provide a systematic multilevel approach in their implementation.Scientific novelty: the paper substantiates the need for typologization of organizations in interconnection with the influence of their corruptiogenity on the security of society and the state to build a multilevel system of counteracting corruption in organizations of various types.Practical significance: the research results can be used in determining the directions for improving state policy in the field of corruption counteraction, as well as anticorruption activity of organizations.

Objective: to determine the legal status of the electronic information system of accounting, storing and updating of municipal normative legal acts; to disseminate the experience of development and implementation of such a system in Krasnoyarsk krai. Methods: general scientific method of dialectical cognition, historical-legal, system-structural, comparative-legal, formal- logical and other particular scientific methods of cognition.Results: the authors come to the conclusion that the electronic information system of accounting, storing and updating of municipal normative legal acts is a type of official information systems and has special qualitative characteristics. Development and implementation of such systems in the activities of local governments, according to the authors, is a promising direction to ensure the openness of municipal legal acts and the accessibility of information on the results of municipal rulemaking. To illustrate the author’s approach, a functional description of the electronic information system of accounting, storing and updating of municipal regulatory legal acts “Municipal legal acts of the Krasnoyarsk krai” is given.Scientific novelty: consists in the development of theoretical conceptions about the legal nature of official information systems and applied problems of their use in the activities of local governments. Modern information and communication technologies allow the transition to the real embodiment of direct democracy, including the involvement of the population in the direct decision-making at the level of local government using EISof municipal legal acts. Given the functions that may be performed by EIS (ensuring access of citizens to the system of legal acts; their storage and systematization; communication between local governments and public authorities; provision of official, authentic texts of a legislative act; organization of discussion on drafts of municipal legal acts; formation of open data, etc.), it seems necessary to legislatively establish a legal regime of EIS as the official legal information system. EIS has significant advantages in comparison with other legal systems, including the register maintained by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation on the website “Normative legal acts of the Russian Federation”. Additional features of EIS aimed at the implementation of the provisions of the Federal Law “On ensuring access to information on the activities of state bodies and local self-government” may occur when the legislator makes changes to the procedure for the official publication of municipal legal acts provided for in part 2 of Article 47 of the Federal Law “On general principles of local self-government in the Russian Federation”.Practical significance: consist in the possibility of wide implementation of the electronic information system of accounting, storing and updating of municipal normative legal acts in the activities of local governments, developed by the authors’ team.
