State civilian and municipal service ranks of the Russian Federation

Several acts of the Russian parliament make provisions for the operation of the state civilian and municipal services. Three laws which came into effect between 2004 and 2007 lay out the principal structures and functions of the services.

Federal state civilian service ranks in Russia are set out in the Federal Law of 27 July 2004 No.79-FZ "Concerning the state civilian service of the Russian Federation".

State civilian service ranks of the federal subjects of the Russian Federation are laid out in the Federal Law of the 27th of July 2004 No.79-FZ "Concerning the state civilian service of the Russian Federation".

The ranks of the municipal service are set out in the Federal Law of the 2nd of March 2007 No.25-FZ "Concerning the municipal service of the Russian Federation".

These laws are supplemented by acts pertaining more generally to the status of Russian federal subjects.

Those in the ranks of the civilian and municipal services wear the insignia of the appropriate organisation on a patch stitched onto their clothing.
