Abstract: In this study, there are investigated the questions related to legal regulation of mechanisms of public control by the civil society in Russia in regard to state authorities, local government and officials. Based on the analysis of federal legislation of public control and modern scientific doctrine, the researchers concluded the absence of the public inquiry among the forms of public control, powered by the law; public inquiry comprises the following subjects: public associations, labor unions, mass media and advocacy. In frames of the investigation the researchers have formulated and grounded the suggestion of making corresponding changes to the Federal law of 21.07.2014 #212-FZ «on the basis of social control in the Russian Federation» as regards to the expansion of the forms of public control. This change will strengthen the role of civil society institution in organizing the public control after state authorities, local government and officials in the Russian Federation.
