The paper claims that spreading plebiscitary practices of political decision-making is not
definitely an attribute of public engagement in policy-making processes, but more a sign
of decline of representative democracy. Plebiscitary mechanisms of public participation, such as
referendums, recalls and popular initiatives, instead of enhancing the democratic grade
of political decision-making may transform into manipulative means of ensuring interests
of elites in power or those, who are seeking for power. Involving illustrations based
on the analysis of recent resonant precedents of plebiscitary decision-making, the article shows
the most widespread traps of plebiscite public participation and their repercussions
