Abstract: The article is devoted to the grounds for emergency legal regulation. The author shows both the danger of transition from emergency situation to dictator’s authoritarian power and a necessity of legal regulation in extreme situations in order to provide social security. To provide grounds for emergency legal regulation, the author analyzes the ‘state of emergency’ doctrine. The author concludes that emergency legal regulation is a reasonable exceptional measure to overcome social and state security threats. Of course, the emergency law itself is, basically, the violation of ordinary legislation so it can be qualified as a violation of law. On the other hand, the right to commit a violation in an emergency situation is a ‘necessary evil’ creating grounds for restoring order and social security. In this respect, emergency legal regulation is similar to such institutions as the right of self-defense, necessity and reasonable risk. All these cases refer to the exclusion from general rules for the sake of a higher value. At the same time, there is always a risk to go beyond the limits of provided responsibilities and powers and commit a violation. But without such a risk, it would be impossible to guarantee the preservation of values higher than a formal observation of law.

Keywords: emergency legal regulation, emergency situation, emergency law, state of emergency, extraordinary legal regulation, emergency powers, theory of crisis, emergency legal regime, emergency legislation, violation of civil rights.

Abstract: This article is aimed on evaluation of frame as a category and a methodological cognition instrument in political sciences, or, more specifically on establishing the benefits of frame approach for the analysis of elements of public opinion and cognition, development of the key principles for the verbal representations analysis for a specific frame, and showing efficiency and productive character of such an approach taking an empiric study as an example. The study is based upon the general methodological principles of the political discourse analysis and structural content analysis. The study of frame structure of the everyday experience, public opinion and conscience allows establishing a subjective image of a certain matter, which is much more important for the everyday life, than its objective characteristics, since common people based their actions upon the subjective ideas of an object and not the scientific data based on in-depth, comprehensive analysis. Study of the frame structures in various sources allows to single out an actual image in a public conscience on one hand, and direction and vector of the information streams forming such n image on the other hand. In turn, this achievement allows to directly approach the problem of manipulation of the public conscience and use of such technologies in social and political spheres of social life.

Keywords: frame, conceptual frame, discourse analysis, interpretation scheme, terrorism, terrorist act, mass media, verbal representation, context.

Abstract: State agricultural policy is a system-phenomenon which essential elements include not only formation and implementation but also control over execution of political and managerial decisions in the sphere of agricultural relations. As the historical experience of implementation of the Russian agricultural policy shows, even the best decisions were doomed to fail because there was no efficient control over their execution. It should be stated that even today there is no proper control over execution of agro-political decisions in the Russian Federation which led to unaccomplished targets of the state agricultural policy, inefficiency and instability of the agricultural sector, food insecurity and abolishment of the rural way of life. The problem of inefficiency of control in the sphere of state agricultural policy must be emphasized and solved by joint efforts of state, society and agricultural producers. The author of the article offers her own ideas on how to renew control over execution of agro-political decisions and raise its efficiency.

Keywords: politics, state institution, agricultural, control, efficiency, execution, decision, tool, objective, subjective.

Abstract: Bishop was the highest official in the system of diocesan administration during the synodical period. Within his Diocese, he had administrative, judicial and economic power over his church. Bishops had rather extensive powers which concern all sides of diocesan life. In addition, being the head of his diocese, the bishop represented church’s interests before local governmental authorities. Such broad-spectrum and versatile activities of the bishop created certain difficulties in diocese management. The institution of vicar bishops was created to help the ruling bishops to govern their dioceses. During the synodical period the Diocese of Vladimir and Suzdal had three vicariates: Muromsk Vicariate founded in 1868, Yurievsky Vicariate founded in 1907 and Suzdal Vicariate founded in 1916. On March 24, 1916 the Emperor Nikolay II approved of the Report of the Holy Synod about foundation of the third vicariate in the Diocese f Vladimir and naming it Suzdal Vicariate. The Bishop of Suzdal was assigned as a governor (abbot) of the Suzdal Saviour Monastery of St. Euthymius. Archbishop of Vladimir and Suzdal was assigned the title of ‘Vladimir and Shuysky Archbishop’ and had that title till the synodical period was over.

Abstract: The present research raises questions about justice, legality, law studies, mercy and unavoidability of punishment as these categories are viewed by Masons. The present article is based on the major work of a famous advocate and Mason of the XIX century Albert Pike who lived in the USA. Difficult political situation inside the country, a need in reforms and recent civil war between the North and the South tempted Albert Pike to make a summary and some kind of a ‘moral will’ addressed not only to his Order brothers but to the whole world. Even now his Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry is considered to be the measure of morals for previous and current legislators. Morals and Dogma consists of 32 essays for 32 Mason’s degrees and contains many historical, philosophical, moral and political ideas. This work still remains a topic of research for many historians studying state and law teachings.

Keywords: law, right, rebellion, retribution, Gnosticism, Masons, morals, crime, justice, legality.

Abstract: Modern China is paying much attention at the reform of managing the system of education and regulation of education structure, in particular, promotion of the basic education, restriction of general education and improvement of vocational and secondary technical education. Peculiarities of economic and social development and, consequently, another level of professional competence of employed population (compared to the 9th and 6tth grades in a city and a village) create a completely different relation between general education and vocational training. While European countries already aim at unifying these and creating a general full secondary education, in China they will be existing as two different ‘flows’ for quite a long period of time.
