Abstract

Background . The parliament in the modern political world is presented, on the one hand, as a compulsory element that is naturally incorporated into the political structure at any level of power, which allows to introduce clearly the institutional position it occupies. On the other hand, the work of a deputy involves publicity, which expands the possibilities of analyzing various aspects and areas of activities of people's representatives. However, the conditions of Russian-Ukrainian war significantly affect and change the work of the national parliamentarian.

Methods . The methodological basis of the research is based on the synergy of general scientific, scientific-sociological and philosophical-scientific methods. The fundamental methodological elements of the study of parliamentary activity as a form of state administration are analysis, modeling, forecasting and study of statistical data. General scientific methods provide a collective characteristic of quantitative and qualitative indicators of the development model of parliamentarism in a country at war. The analysis is based on the materials of the scientific discourse of the last five years, which highlight management strategies and practices in this management cluster. For the current study, scientific works were selected from the leading scientometric databases of Google Scholar.

Results . Studying the status of a people's deputy as a legal institution in the authorities, which determines the political and normative nature of the deputy's mandate, as well as accountability and controllability to voters, it is possible to distinguish three main types of responsibility. First, it is criminal responsibility, the key concept of which is a criminal offense. Secondly, political responsibility, which lies within the framework of the code concept is a "party program". It makes sense to trace political responsibility both to a party deputy who represents the interests of the people, while adhering to the party's political program, and to a majoritarian deputy who focuses on representative and legislative activities to implement his local program principles. Thirdly, the responsibility is moral, which comes down to the concept of "promise". This type of responsibility is characterized to a greater extent as subjective responsibility, which is derived from the personal qualities of the deputy, such as decency, understanding, compassion and attitude to the population's problems as his own. Responsibility is the most important moral and social-psychological quality of a person. At the same time, it acts as a mechanism of society's control over public-private relations, in the process of which a consensus is reached between personal and public interests.

Сonclusions . The effectiveness of the work of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine in the special conditions of martial law attests to the responsibility and stability of parliamentarians. The exercise of powers was characterized by the intensification of work in committees and factions, as well as during plenary sessions against the background of a constant reduction in the number of parliamentarians. At the same time, we don't always see the clarity of their work, there is also the neglect of national interests by some people's deputies. The organization of Ukrainian parliament work in the conditions of martial law has become coherent and effective. The rules of deputy ethics must be mandatory, have an expansive interpretation, regulating the behavior of deputies both on duty and outside of official activity
