The formation and functioning of MG are based on a number of principles.

1. The principle of humanism. The policy of the state should be based on the priority of satisfying the needs of the individual, ensuring her well-being and the society as a whole.

The activities to ensure the exercise of the powers of state bodies (public service) must be considered a highly qualified profession, which is important for the whole state and requires special skill acquired and maintained as a result of systematic and continuous education. This principle obliges to own the procedure for the activities of public authorities, to know their rights and obligations, to actively and fully exercise the functions and powers provided for by legislation and official regulations and instructions.

6. The principle of federalism, which ensures the unity of the MG system and the observance of the constitutional delimitation of the subjects of jurisdiction and authority between federal public authorities and state authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation.
