Abstract: The paper studies the problem of legal regulation of small business in the Russian Federation. Based on the analysis of the current legislation and the comparison with crisis transformations, the authors suggest amending the Federal Law “On audit activities” in order to unify the accounting requirements for small businesses. The reasonability and topicality of the forthcoming changes result from small businesses auditing. The research methodology is based on the recent achievements in epistemology. The authors apply theoretical and general philosophical methods (dialectics, the system method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation and modeling), traditional legal methods and the methods of special sociological research. The authors conclude that it is necessary to reconsider the amount of sale proceeds (sale of goods, work delivery, rendering of services) for the period preceding the accounting one, and the amount of balance sheet assets, as at the end of the year preceding the accounting one, from the position of relation of the business subject to the category of organizations subject to mandatory audit, and to introduce changes which will promote the development of small and medium business.

Abstract: The authors consider the problem of necessity to strengthen the institution of marriage and family. The authors analyze legal provisions related to the institution of divorcing, and define the measures which help to overcome negative tendencies in the sphere of marriage and family.

In the authors’ opinion, it is necessary to apply the mediation procedure throughout Russia. The research methodology comprises the set of general and special scientific methods including system-structural, synthesis, analysis, technical, logical, and comparative-legal. For the purpose of maternity and childhood protection, the authors offer to prolong the term restricting the right of the spouse to make a demand for dissolution of marriage without the consent of another spouse; to increase the number of subjects and organizations involved in the mediation procedure (with or without mediators) in particular regions of the country.

Abstract: The importance of the given article is caused by the fact that it defends the rights and freedoms of convicted women (isolated from society) including the right to resocialization. Execution of a punishment and rehabilitation of convicted women is a complex problem due to the great number of imprisoned women and the need to improve the penitentiary system of punishments endured by women. The majority of convicted women have small children so their return to society and resocialization are very important for the future generation. The methodological basis of the research involves a set of general and specific research methods including systems-structural approach, synthesis and analysis, technical, logical, comparative legal, statistical and others. The author offers to establish support, assistance and control over behavior of convicted women at the legislative level as well as additional stimuli for women whose judgement has been suspended due to women having small kids. The author also offers to specify measures aimed at accomplishing the constitutional rights and freedoms of convicted women who endure their punishment by being isolated from society.

Abstract: The increase of the number of cases of domestic violence against women and/or children has become a national problem of the modern democratic societies. The importance of elimination of such crimes by means of study of the motivation and the reasons of domestic violence (psychical/physical) is growing. The government mechanisms of domestic violence prevention are insufficient. There is no general national strategy in this field; the system of government assistance to the victims of domestic violence is very weak. The author applies the general philosophical method of cognition – materialist dialectic in the form of logic and cognition. The author applies the system method helping to consider the factors, motives and reasons of domestic violence, and the preventive measures which correlate with each other and the environment. The main directions of the government social policy, which should assist in domestic violence prevention, include health protection, the policy of avoiding family conflicts (this function should be imposed on the police), the policy of education and cultural traditions installing, youth policy and the correlated labor policy.

Abstract: The author of the article studies the role of giving a bribe as a condition for criminalization or decriminalization of prostitution. This activity is determined as a crime from the position of criminal law and, partially, of criminal procedure. The author notes the relative effectiveness of the mechanisms of criminal liability imposition and the difficulties of collection of evidence of the committed crime. For the demonstration of the necessity to determine prostitution as a bribe or the absence of a bribe, the author analyzes material and procedural law and their correlation with respect to prostitution. The methodological base of the study includes the set of general scientific and special methods: system-structural, analysis, synthesis, formal-legal, logical, comparative-legal, statistical and others. The author concludes that it is clear why non-material welfares, particularly, prostitution, are not considered as subjects of bribe. According to the current legislation, prostitution services proposed by the subject (a briber or a mediator) or paid by him should be determined as “giving of bribe”, “mediation in bribery”,  “drawing into prostitution”, or “engagement in prostitution”. In this case there is also a problem of collection of evidence of the guilt.
