Abstract: The article considers the forms of interaction of civil society institutions and public and local authorities, mentioned in the recently adopted Federal Law of July 21, 2014 ¹ 212-FZ “On the bases of public control in the Russian Federation”, such as public hearings and public discussions. The author carries out the comparative analysis of these forms, revealing their common and individual features, and outlines particular shortcomings of legal regulation of public hearings and discussions, offering the ways of their correction. The author applies the general scientific (analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction) and the special scientific (comparative-legal, formal-logical) methods. The novelty of the research consists in its subject: for the first time the regulations about public control and its forms, including public hearings and discussions, have been systematized and legitimated on federal level; in the light of the new federal law the author attempts to study these forms profoundly, while the previous researches considered public control in general. The author comes to the conclusion about the necessity to introduce more accurate criteria of differentiation of public hearings and public discussions, and to enhance the regulations related to them.

Abstract: The article considers the constitutional right to appeal as a legal form of dialectical correlation between the interests of the state, the society and a person. The author outlines the range of unsettled theoretical-legal and practical questions, hindering the development of institution of the constitutional right to appeal in the Russian Federation. The author puts forward concrete suggestions about the enhancement of legislative regulation of the institution of the constitutional right to appeal and the renewal of the system of public management in general. The author applies the general scientific and the special scientific methods of research, including the systems method, synthesis, the normative-logical approach, analysis, deduction, induction and other methods. The author comes to the conclusion about the need for legitimation and explanation of the notion “petition” in federal legislation; establishment of instance for pre-trial appeals thus obliging a citizen to address an appeal primarily to municipal authorities and municipal branches of public bodies; obliging a citizen to notify the fact of copying the same appeal to several government bodies and other organizations.

Abstract: The author analyzes the legal nature and the content of a law-enforcement service position in the public service system of the Russian Federation. The article defines the essence of the concept of "position" as an element of public service, its legal status and its importance for the formation of any kind of public service. The author considers the provisions of legal regulation of law enforcement service in the Russian Federation. Attention is paid to the problems of the current Federal law "On public service of the Russian Federation" and the draft Federal law "On judicial service of the Russian Federation".

Abstract: The subject of the article is the range of problems of municipal law-making in the Russian reality. The author analyzes and reveals the concepts “municipal law-making” and “municipal law-making process” and the stages of municipal law-making process. The author ascertains the lack of unanimity of views about the content of municipal law-making process in scientific and educational literature on jurisprudence. Having studied the positions of scientists in this sphere, the author comes to the conclusion about impermissibility of merging of key concepts in this sphere of knowledge. The author studies the essence of municipal legal acts and characterizes them. The study is based on the methods of analysis, synthesis, logic and dialectics. The article demonstrates the author’s understanding of the concept of “municipal law-making process”, argues the necessity of its inclusion in the Federal Law of October 6, 2003 ¹ 131-FZ. The author substantiates the idea that control over implementation, and also abrogation or suspension of municipal legal acts cannot be fully identified as the stages of municipal law-making process. The author offers the ways of improvement of the concept “municipal normative legal act”.

Abstract: The subject of the research is the range of problems of law-enforcement practice, connected with the possibility of individualization of administrative punishment for legal entities, and the ways of their solution. Since 2007 the policy of administrative responsibility toughening has been consistently realized, resulting in the increase of fines for legal entities. Taking into account that in most cases of administrative offences there are no other forms of punishment for legal entities, and payment by installments or the legal institution of unimportance was not enough for a just and adequate punishment, implementation of some constitutional principles in the ambit of administrative responsibility was not assured. The study applies the comparative-legal research method; the author uses comparison of legal norms (also in their historical development), regulating this sphere of legal relations, law-enforcement practice and scientific literature. The novelty of the research consists in the fact that it is the first study of historical prerequisites and measures of legitimation of the mechanisms of individualization of administrative punishment for legal entities in accordance with constitutional principles of imposition of punishment. The author believes that the study results can be used by other researchers in this sphere.

Abstract: The subject of the research is a two-tier model of local government. The author analyzes the recent changes of the Federal Law “On the common principles of local government organization in the Russian Federation” which introduces new types of municipal entities – a city district with an intracity division, and an intracity area, thus creating the preconditions for the general application of a two-tier model of local government. Within this system the possibility to introduce the elements of public management is considered. The author touches upon the issues of interaction between local governments and public authorities within this two-tier model and offers their legislative settlement. The author uses, mainly, the method of scientific modeling which allows creating the most appropriate local government model. The author suggests the local government model with the elements of public management and formulates the principles of interaction between local governments and public authorities within the two-tier model which are aimed at the provision of local governments’ independence and their active cooperation.

Abstract: The subject of the research includes normative legal acts, regulating the organization and activities of bodies of compulsory execution of judicial acts and acts of other bodies in the Russian Federation in 2004 – 2008, as well as statistical data and materials of law enforcement practice. The object of the research is the range of public relations, arisen in the process of formation and development of these bodies during the mentioned period. The article analyzes the problems of formation and development of the Federal service of court bailiffs of the Russian Federation (2004-2008) in the context of the administrative reform carried out in this period, as well as the reform of enforcement proceedings of 2007. The author studies the main results of these reforms and their impact on the effectiveness of enforcement proceedings in the Russian Federation. The paper identifies the key virtues and shortcomings of the existing system of enforcement authorities. The author uses the general and specific scientific methods of cognition. General scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, comparison, induction, deduction, etc.) helped to identify the main trends and regularities of development of the studied object. Specific scientific methods (formal-legal, comparative legal, systemic-structural, statistical, sociological) provided the opportunity to identify, describe and reproduce the phenomena under investigation, to compare them in order to reveal the similarities and differences. As a result of the conducted research the author comes to the following conclusions. The formation of the Federal service of court bailiffs as a result of administrative reform of 2004 has not led to its finalization. The service was not officially recognized as a supervisory authority, it did not become a law enforcement body. In fact, the body was finally formed only in 2008 when the supervisory authorities were granted to the baiiffs.

Abstract: The article deals with the introduction of responsibility of a voter for acception of an "election bribe". It is noted that the global and Russian practice provides for administrative, criminal and constitutional responsibility for the subornation of voters for candidates and other persons wishing to influence the will of the electorate. However, domestic legislation does not imply adverse consequences for the citizen who had received such an award. Taking into account the world experience, the article studies the feasibility and legal possibility of introduction of constitutional, criminal and administrative responsibility for these acts. The research methodology is based on the traditional legal science principles, techniques and approaches: dialectics, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, etc. The authors conclude that it would be the most appropriate to establish administrative responsibility for such actions. And the responsibility for the voter should be less severe than for those engaged in their subornation. In addition, it is rational to provide for an exemption from the responsibility for the citizens who voluntarily reported the bribery to the competent authority, as well as in cases when bribery was conjugated with coercion, threats, deception.

In addition, it is rational to provide for an exemption from the responsibility for the citizens who voluntarily reported the bribery to the competent authority, as well as in cases when bribery was conjugated with coercion, threats, deception.

Abstract: The subject of the research is the range of legal and organizational problems of consideration of the notion of a person, suffered from some damage, and its legitimation according to the current criminal and penal legislation. The author carries out theoretical and legal analysis of the notions “suffered”, “aggrieved person” and “victim of crime”. The article demonstrates the author’s positions on the interpretation and legal regulation of these categories. The main attention is paid to the development of the classification criteria for the abovementioned legal categories in the science and law-enforcement practice. The methodology includes the recent achievements of epistemology. The author applies the general philosophical and theoretical methods (dialectics, the systems method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation, modeling), the traditional legal methods (formal-logical) and the methods of special sociological research (the statistical methods, expert assessments, etc.). The author concludes that the notions “suffered”, “aggrieved person” and “victim of crime” are not revealed in the current legislation consistently enough. Therefore, it is necessary to develop criminal and administrative legislation regarding legitimation of these categories. The author draws attention to this problem and offers the ways of differentiation of these categories in the Russian law.

Abstract: In Russia the problem of implementation of acts of constitutional legal proceedings was raised before the adoption of the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 1992, when the Republic of Tatarstan hadn't implement the Resolution of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation of March 13, 1992, N P-RZ-I. It is possible to give many examples of full and timely implementation of decisions of the constitutional justice, but there are also the facts of ignoring, unjustified procrastination of implementation, and attempts to overcome their legal effect by means of readoption of regulations similar to those recognized unconstitutional. The author analyzes the reasons of non-fulfulment of acts of the constitutional control and offers various solutions of this problem. The author considers the concept and legal nature of legal positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, their correlation with the decisions of the Constitutional Court, the lack of an accurately formed mechanism of their implementation in the law-making and law-enforcement practice. The author studies different types of responsibility for non-fulfilment of decisions of the constitutional justice and suggests to establish preliminary constitutional control and administrative responsibility. Thus the author studies foreign experience of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kosovo, the Albanian Republic and Germany. In the conclusion the author offers the ways of improvement of Russian legislation, including the adoption of law on normative legal acts in the Russian Federation.The research is based on the scientific methods, such as the methods of analysis and comparison, which help to define the similarities and differences between the rules of law and the decisions of the Constitutional Justice and to formulate particular theoretical and practical conclusions and suggestions, necessary for the further development of Russian legal system.

Abstract: The research focuses on the essential characteristics of anti-corruption enlightenment and anti-corruption education as two interconnected and interdependent forms of anti-corruption activity, and their correlation. The study aims at: a) revelation of essential characteristics of anti-corruption enlightenment and anti-corruption education; b) assessment of their correlation as the forms of anti-corruption activity; c) outlining of the common and the specific features of both notions; d) the analysis of normative legal acts regulating the sphere of anti-corruption enlightenment and education. The methodology is based on dialectical materialism; the main research method is structural analysis which helped to define the correlation of anti-corruption enlightenment and education. The main conclusions of the study are: a) anti-corruption education and anti-corruption enlightenment are different means of combating corruption with a significant anti-corruption potential, though having some similarities; b) they differ in all structural elements: goals and tasks, subjects and objects, means of implementation, legal regulation and legal consequences.
