Abstract: The problems related to development of public order and legal order are fundamental in the theory of law and largely carry a polemical character. Juridical science gives detailed attention to revelation of the essence and categorical analysis of this institution. The theoretical-legal substantiation of its functionality in the conditions of advancement of local self-governance is developed to a much lesser degree. This article analyzes the views of researchers on the representational nature of public order, determines its place within the system of local self-governance, expounds the significance in part of new approaches, including the amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The authors prove that public order is ensured by sustainable functionality of regulatory mechanisms that involve social structures. The role of the forming civil society is also significant in this regard. The articlegives assessment the state of public order, and demonstrates that it represents a dynamically developing state legal institution. The conclusion is substantiated that the need for protection of public order stems from its consistent social value for society as a whole. This contains the possibilities for controlling anarchy, mitigation of egoistic intentions of individuals, and retention of manageability by the state. Control of negative phenomena in the process of social development is capable of ensuring society from internal collapse.

Abstract: The subject of the research is the legal mechanisms of regulation of public relations in the field of medical genetic technologies as an element of the biological security system of Russia. The purpose of the reasearch is to analyze the legal regulation of medical genetic technologies as an integral part of biosafety, taking into account their inherent features, to identify an assessment of the effectiveness of existing rationing mechanisms and to propose new more effective legal mechanisms. The methodological basis of the research consists of general scientific and special methods. The general scientific methods include system, structural-functional, formal-logical (deduction, induction, analysis, synthesis) methods. To achieve the purpose of the research work, special methods of legal science are also used: formal legal, legal modeling and others. The result of the research was the identification of a low-effective legal mechanism for regulating medical genetic technologies as an integral part of biosafety existing in domestic legislation. In this regard, we have proposed some directions for improving the current regulatory framework in the field of public relations under consideration. The results obtained can be used in educational activities in the courses "Social law", "Medical law". The novelty of the research work lies in the fact that for the first time medical genetic technologies are considered as an element of the biological security system of Russia, taking into account the characteristic features and social significance inherent in this type of genetic technologies, which were also highlighted for the first time. Also, the novelty is expressed in the parameters developed by the author for attributing medical genetic technologies to technologies of low, medium or high probability of occurrence of risks, which we have also identified. Based on the results of the study, we came to the conclusion that it is necessary to design truly effective legal mechanisms for regulating medical genetic technologies based on the proposals we have put forward to ensure the legally permissible level of biosafety in Russia when using medical genetic technologies.

Abstract: With the increase of awareness on the problems of national security associated with the unauthorized disclosure of classified information, the legal protection of classified information obtained a new meaning. However, it simultaneously causes growing concern regarding its impact upon the freedom of information. Between these competing political interests lies a separate branch of law, which defines and protects specially designated secrets from unauthorized disclosure. The goal of this article consists in determination of the relevant state practice for protection of classified information for national security reasons in various countries, as well as consideration of the general problems of demarcation of the grounds of national security for protection of classified information in light of changing circumstances of national security. The study explores 108 countries, in which the State Secrecy Law exists in one or another form from the perspective of: 1) classification of information on national security; 2) threshold values of disclosure; 3) offences related to disclosure of classified information. The conclusion is made that with the expansion of modern “state of national security”, the existing legal criteria would become less and less efficient in demarcation of the grounds of information security for protecting specially designated secrets, if the legislation does not clearly place public interest before the interests of national security.

Abstract: The object of this research is extremism. The subject is the special characteristics of the definition of "extremism" contained in the normative legal acts. Based on the analysis of domestic and international legal documents, it is proven that the category of "extremism" has no universal legal definition.

Additionally, in the context of the entity category of "extremism", this work examines such forms of extremism as radicalism. The study uses complex methodological approaches that help achieve the goals and solve the tasks of the research: general research methods (analysis and synthesis, logical), system analysis, comparative and legal methods. The result of this study is the selection of special features in the contents of the definition of "extremism" that are present in its interpretation of international and domestic legal instruments, comparing them with threats to national security of the Russian Federation and on this basis defining the universal logical boundaries of extremism as an illegal act.

Abstract: The goal of this article consists in the analysis of phenomenological characteristics and legal correlation of the definitions “national interests” and “national security”. The author highlights doctrinal and conceptual peculiarities of consolidation of national interests in the modern Russian legal system, determines the priorities of establishment of the system of national interests, as well as proposes optimal means for formation of the system of national interests through the integrated model that ensures adequate inclusion of the objectively nationwide interests, creation of mechanisms of their protection and implementation. The efficiency of international legal mechanism of ensuring national interests in Russia on the regional and global scale is being analyzed and assessed. The priorities of international legal cooperation in the context of ensuring national security and protection of national interests are determined. The scientific novelty lies in the statement that sequential analysis of the problems, which emerge in terms of building the system of national security and in the sphere of fulfilling national interests, may significantly affect the theoretical-substantive and technical-legal aspects of the regulatory-protective activity, establish a closer correlation between the fundamental elements of Russian legal system, including elements of the mechanism of ensuring national security.

Abstract: Based on the work of Gene Sharp “From Dictatorship to Democracy” and his methodology on the color revolutions, the authors present the issue of correlation between political rights and liberties, and political foundations of a country, and attempt to find the “red line” between them, since the topic is of constitutional positions. Gene Sharp offers the criteria of “revolutionary organization” and the “revolutionary” as a harmful phenomenon for the society, while the color revolutions the author views as a threat to the national interest of a country as a whole. The definition of color revolution is given based on the combination of criteria, including those presented in Sharp’s book. The authors propose to underline the main and additional criteria of revolutionary activity, including the criteria of financing the public organization from abroad and using it as a basis for considering an organization as revolutionary and therefore, pose a question of outlawing its activity. The authors compare the revolutionary activity with extremism.

Keywords: Color revolutions, misuse of political rights, political insubordination, criteria for revolutionary organization, revolutionary, extremist, technology of color revolutions, constitutional rights, foreign agent, constitutional responsibilities.

Abstract: The problem of relations between the federal center and the Russian regions in the economic sphere is one of the key issues for ensuring the security of both the federation as a whole and the regions. In particular, while not denying and supporting the need for a stable vertical of state power, including the executive, it should be noted that, along with regional authorities, in most subjects of the Russian Federation there are over fifty federal structures, covering all aspects of regional life without exception, which, however, bear practically no responsibility. They are responsible to the public and are obliged to answer for their actions only to the federal center. Thus, there is a gradual transfer of responsibility for solving political and economic problems to the population in the regions without appropriate support and transfer of the necessary powers and resources for their productive settlement. The article by S.O. Alekhnovich examines these and other problems of federal relations…

Abstract: Prevention of crimes, which are committed by the employees of law enforcement bodies, is of paramaunt importance. Much of these crimes are related to drug dealing due to the fact that the officials have the powers, which they might use in distribution of drugs. At the same time the official, who abuses drugs, cannot perform his functions. The article by D.V. Ivanov is devoted to this specific type of crime, as wel as prevention measures.

Abstract: Federal law “On the Central Bank of the Russian Federation (the Bank of Russia)” provides the Bank with a right to pass normative acts. By the nature of this provision the legislator gave the Central Bank of the Russian Federation considerable authority.

Abstract: Modern Russia at the time of formation of market economy suffers greatly from growth of criminal activity and security problems, related to the international terrorism’s assaults upon Russia. It is clear why in such conditions study of experience of foreign states in the sphere of organization of work of law-enforcement bodies becomes very relevant. In this article specific attention is payed to role and functions of the law-enforcement bodies in fighting international terrorism and organized crime, specifically in the sphere of “special” investigation activities (audio-control, video-control, shadowing, etc.), operative investigation activities (listening to phone conversations, receipt of information via technical means of communication, etc.)

Abstract: In late years Russia was often shaken by the horrible environmental tragedies, which took lives of innocent people, who just were not warned about the dangers due to the irresponsibility of authorities. What are the people's rights for adequate protection from environmental emergencies and what are the rights and obligations of the government bodies in this sphere? What is the role of scientific studies in prevention of such tragedies? These issues are studied by the authors, who use the example of the Karmadon glacier tragedy.

Abstract: Currently there is much interest to the issue of judicial precedent and throughout the last ten years, there were many publications on this subject. This article by T.A. Vasilieva includes the review of existing opinions and problems in practice…

Abstract: Currently the threats to the military security of the Russian Federation - both internal and external, real and potential - remain an issue of concern. At the same time the military doctrine of the Russian Federation provides only for the general threats and specific sources of these threats are not mentioned. The lack of clear subject references for ensuring military security causes confusion, which makes strategic and operative planning more difficult. The authors study the above-mentioned problem and offer their ways to correct the Military Doctrine of the Russian Federation so it would meet the challenges of the modern reality.

Abstract: The term “economical security” has appeared rather recently. S.N. Revina’s article is devoted to theory and practice of ensuring economical security in the Russian Federation. Much attention is paid to the latest political tendencies of President Putin’s Administration, in particular, to the nationalization tendency. Among its examples, one may name sale of “Yuganskneftegaz” to the state-owned “Rosneft”, purchase of the shares of “Gazprom” by the state from its own subsidiary corporations, uptake of “Sibneft” by “Gazprom”, the start of de facto nationalization of “AvtoVaz” and “UAZ”…

Abstract: The well-known Russian writer and historian N.M. Karamzin, when asked to define the situation in Russia in 1810 in short, said: “Everyone steals”. The famous Russian poet A.S. Pushkin characterized the Russian bureaucracy of 1822 by saying that “Starting with the Councellor to the smallest of the protocol keepers, everyone was stealing and everything was for sale”. It does not seem that the time mended the problem. Currently (and not for the first time either), there are more and more people speaking in favor for more cruel sanctions applied to the officials, who are involved in bribery”. However, once the powers of the law-enforcement bodies are broadened beyond the certain extent, there is another evil – the tyranny of the law-enforcement bodies. This article by I.L. Trunov is devoted to the historical analysis of the issue, and it also includes.

Abstract: The specific features of military management in a state are defined not only by its national, territorial and administrative qualities, but by the social and political factors as well: the political system, political conscience of the government and the society as a whole, political ideology.

Abstract: This article examines the question on feasibility of ensuring security of the judicial process in the context of “digitalization”, the concept of which is revealed with specification of objectives and organizational mechanism used for structuring the model. It is underlined that the process of digitalization of the society along with judicial system itself requires particular approach towards the development of mechanisms aimed at ensuring security of the magistrates and federal judges, the likelihood of threat to whom is proportional to the “digital” capabilities of modern society. The study primarily employs the following methods: systemic analysis, comparative legal analysis, general and specific scientific methods, including analysis, synthesis and processing of statistical information. The author makes recommendations on amending the current system of ensuring security of the judicial process through implementation of an additional measure considering the information technologies extensively used in judicial work: nondisclosure of personal information of the judges, presiding over criminal cases involving members of organized crime.

Abstract: Terrorists who cause harm to innocent people, should be ready to severe reaction of the state. However, such anti-terrorist measures should be aimed at the terrorists only and the limitation of rights and freedoms of the law-abiding citizens should be minimal. The history, however, shows, that when the law-enforcement bodies are given broader powers in order to fight terrorism, it necessarily leads to their despotism. That is why, the approach to the organization of the anti-terrorism system should be dialectic in providing both the security of the state and for the protection of human rights and freedoms. The central problem of anti-terrorism measures, which is the point of this article, lays with the limits and bases of application of such measures.

Abstract: In Russia 40 million people lost their savings in the bank system and various financial «pyramids” between 1991 and 1998. This article continues I.G. Leneva’s study of the problem of protection of investor’s rights, contains more detailed analysis of the guarantees provided to an investor in Russia, of the laws on banking and investments, as well as of the problem of subsidiary responsibility of the state or the Central Bank of the Russian Federation to an investor (a physical person).

Abstract: The modern world with its new threats to the states and their citizens calls for more attention to the security measures. How reliable and detailed is the system of national security of the Russian Federation? This article contains analysis of relevant legislation and role of various state bodies in ensuring national security, touches upon the problem of control over activities of these bodies. The author then comes to a conclusion that while currently the mechanism of ensuring state security is well-formed in the Russian Federation, our state lacks necessary program regulation mechanisms, which would allow to use systemic approach to the problem. In the absence of detailed regulation of this side of the issue, presidential, federal, regional and international security programs lack single conceptual basis and are less effective.

Abstract: cThe article examines the role of constitutional (charter) courts of the subjects of the Russian Federation in the constitutional-legal support of the unity and territorial integrity of the Russian Federation as basic constitutional values. The work has been made with the use of the following methods: analysis, synthesis, system approach, formal and comparative legal method, and model building. The author draws a conclusion about the inferiority of constitutional (charter) courts as subjects of ensuring previously mentioned values. The courts primarily provide values that are associated with regional interests, while they are capable of damaging the unity and territorial integrity of the Russian Federation. The author proposes three ways of solving present-day problems and filling the gaps of the legal regulation of the constitutional control in our country.

Abstract: In this work the author attempts to formulate the key requirements for providing criminal legal protection of the public relations in the area of informatization. The system of criminal legal protection of public relations that is responsible for meeting the informational demand and is intended for providing the criminal legal stimulation of the positive, and minimization of the negative social consequences of informatization can be referred to as “information security”. The subject remains in the state of information security when the effectiveness of their activity is provided with accurate and sufficient information for making a decision. This state can be achieved by the social activity in three interlinked groups of social relations that represent the structural elements of information security: public relations in the sphere of use of information technologies; in the sphere of providing access to information resource; in the sphere of creating an information resource. At the same time the public danger of infringing on the information security is not independent, but rather depends on the social significance of the relations within which the information demand emerges. The author proposes the main directions for improving the legislation on the criminal liability for the crimes in the area of information technologies, as well as the sphere of limited access of information. The bases are provided for the unreasonableness of a wide implementation of means of criminal justice in the sphere of forming an information resource.

Abstract: The problem of religious extremism is currently the key threat to religious freedom of any nation, and is especially relevant for the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union, at the core of which stand Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. As a result, the constant monitoring and improvements to the normative legal base on the fight with religious extremism in these countries remains a top priority. The authors offer a brief legal comparative analysis of the legislation pertaining to the fight against religious extremism within the EAEU and formulate recommendations on the use of the leading experience of Kazakhstan and Belarus in perfecting the Russia’s legislation in the area of fighting the religious extremism. Among the conclusions, the authors emphasize the need for a balanced system of law enforcement branches in order to wage an effective fight against the religious extremism. They note that there is currently a comparable system of the branches of law enforcement agencies within the EAEU that are responsible for the cooperation between religion and the government, which significantly simplifies the processes of the legislation unification in this sphere. The authors focus their attention on the fact that such branches should not possess authoritative powers, but should rather provide intermediary and consulting services to the branches of government authority and religious organizations.

Abstract: This work examines state as an object of national security. What are the objects of state security? What is the correlation between the concepts of “safety of the country”, “national security”, and “state security”? The search for the answers to these questions is undertaken by the author through an examination of a number of general theoretical problems: existence of various approaches towards the understanding of state as a combination of three elements – population, territory, and authority. The author addresses the question on the possibility of changing the nature of a state, and the possibility of reviewing various levels of its nature. State is a layered phenomenon that incorporates the political, social, juridical, economic, ethical and other aspects. As the object of security the state can be viewed as a system of such elements as authority, territory and population. But most of the times within Russian literature the state is attributed to the element of authority, viewing it as a political universal sovereign organization of authority.

Abstract: This article is dedicated to determination of the role of hybrid wars and color revolutions in modern politics. The hybrid wars are being viewed as a new form of armed conflict, in which the use of domestic armed forces is no longer a necessary condition in order to achieve victory over the adversary: “brute force” in a hybrid war is implemented along with non-military methods of affecting the enemy – information-psychological warfare, technologies of soft and smart force, methods of economic pressure, isolation or blockade, and instruments of traditional diplomacy. The color revolutions are examined in the article as technologies of organizing government overthrows using acts of mass civil disobedience, transforming into a managed civil apprising. The author determines that color revolutions cannot be elements of hybrid wars, as they are different and incompatible with each other forms of pressure upon the opponent. But it is in namely the color revolution that by dismantling political regimes, create the environment for initiation of external aggression, which then takes on a shape of a hybrid war.

Abstract: The object of this research is the limitation of rights for spreading information of extremist nature. The subject of the research is the forms, place, and role of special methods of cognition of texts that contain signs of extremism. The author gives a detailed review to such aspects of the topic as: the problems with terminological apparatus of the legislation on terrorism countermeasures; problems of improving expert work with consideration of the latest advancements in linguistics, as well as technologies allowing detection of materials that may contain information of extremist nature. The main conclusion of the conducted research: consolidation of efforts of government agencies and civil institutions in the fight against extremism through the work of export committees on assessment of information products for presence (or absence) of signs of extremism will aid in realization of the key principles of terrorism counteraction, as well as execution of a number of functions that are inherent in all subjects of counterterrorism. The scientific novelty consists in the proposed legal model for the work of the expert committees of the Belarus Republic that allows detection of correlation of all elements of the system of assessment of information products in the work of the expert committees.

Abstract: The article contains a thesis that at the current stage of development of the society the doctrine of religious security of the Russian Federation becomes one of the key elements for the national security guarantees. The author formulates the doctrine of religious security of Russia and studies its legal nature. The author studies key elements of the religious security doctrine of Russia, including its goals, definition and classification of threats to religious security, constitutional legal basis for religious security, religious security system, principles for the religious security guarantees, as well as legal mechanisms for such guarantees in the Russian Federation. Having studied the mechanisms for the guarantees of religious security of Russia, the author makes the following conclusions. The degree of protection of Russian society from religious threats is to a great extent dependent upon the model of relations between state and religions. Currently in Russia there is need to recognize some religious organizations as having traditional status, which would allow them to resist a wide range of threats to religious and national security of the Russian Federation. The article studies the possible legal mechanism for acquiring such a status. Efficient fight against the religious threats is not possible, unless the state cooperates with religious and social associations, other organizations, and it also should be reflected in the religious security doctrine of the Russian Federation. This doctrine should be formulated with the due regard to the experience of foreign states. Foreign legislation in the sphere of religious security is not limited to the norms on religious freedom, it also has various provisions against destructive religious and pseudo-religious organizations. Additionally, in the opinion of the author the legal doctrine of religious security of the Russian Federation should provide for the need to neutralize the threats to religious security, as localized outside the Russian Federation.

Abstract: The institutional transformation of the political extremism is determined by the transfer from formal institutions to informal institutions at the time when the repressive state policy of the USSR infl uenced the development of informal extremist practices, and catalyzed them after the breakup of the Union state. It seems that extremism should weaken as the state transfers to democracy, however the Russian state shows the opposite process: growth of radical attitudes, which are not capped by state or civil society, which is a peculiarity of the political process in Russia. This situation shows the need to activate the government bodies and the civil society in order to avoid political extremism via various means, including technological. That is why we should single out civil technologies, which should be used in fi ghting political extremism.

Keywords: political science, extremism, technology, values, institutionalization, counteraction, institutions, legitimacy, evolution, ideology.
