Introduction: this article summarizes the legal issues of social protection of the population and contemporary social services system in Russia. For this purpose, the authors consider the concept of social protection and the mechanism of social policy implementation, as well as they mark and structure the basic normative legal acts regulating the complex socio-economic rights to such a level of life, which is necessary for a normal existence, personal development and reproduction. By applying the scientific methods, and first of all, the method of system analysis, it is established that social protection is based on the combination of social and legal guarantees, which provide everyone with real opportunities of realizing their rights, including the socio-economic rights to such a level of life, which is necessary for their normal existence, personal development and reproduction. Results: now one may talk of two levels of legal support of social service in almost all the constituent entities of the Russian Federation: federal and regional ones. But it is not everywhere where a sufficient legal framework and “legal technology” are formed, i.e. there is determined the scope of rights in the field of social services in relation to the specific socio-economic environment. Conclusions: the whole current system of social protection of the population implements its goals and objectives through and within the existing legal forms. In Russia there is a mixed organizational structure of the system of social protection of the population, which uses almost all of the organizational and legal forms existing in the countries with market economy.
Key words: social protection, legal coverage, legal and regulatory acts, social service.
