The system of civil society institutions in the Komi Republic: problems of effective functioning

The paper analyses the state and evaluates the effectiveness of the Komi Republic civil society institutions functioning. The paper critically examines the information presented in the reports of the Komi Republic Public Chamber. Problematic aspects in the work of the regional civil society institutions that hinder the full implementation of civil society functions in the republic are identified and systematized. The author comes to the conclusion that there are a number of problems in the activities of regional civil society institutions, in particular, the third sector. These problems are not mentioned in analytical documents, such as the Reports of the Public Chamber of the Komi Republic. This prevents the authorities from objectively assessing the activities of public institutions.
