Abstract
The development of law has always been accompanied by the formation of legal doctrines, which are usually understood as a generalized scientific and legal attitude to general and specific issues of law. This article proposes to consider the most effective implementation of legal doctrines in judicial practice, which contributes to empirical enrichment and effectiveness of law. The study of law in three dimensions, legal theory, legal doctrine and law enforcement, confirms that the effective functioning of this three-dimensional system is possible on the basis of interpenetration and interaction of its constituent elements. The convergence of legal systems contributed not only to the adoption of timetested ideas and strengthening the integration principles, but also to the evolution of law enforcement, which clearly demonstrates the development of European constitutional justice. The influence of general doctrines on law enforcement is considered from the standpoint of the formation of judicial doctrines on the basis of judicial discretion, lawmaking, legal interpretation and argumentation, which serve not only to create reasonable legal methods for resolving specific cases, taking into account the principles and concepts of law, but also to deepen the connection between the theory of law and law enforcement. The judicial doctrine thus represents a proven approach to the solution of specific court cases in the context of the achievements of legal science and judicial practice, confirmed by the authority of the judiciary, simultaneously aimed at their development.

Keywords

■ CONSTITUTIONAL AND MUNICIPAL LAW

Local Self-Government and the Constitution of the Russian Federation  Pdf 16

V. I. VASILIEV

Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of the constitutional model of local self-government. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the content of Article 12 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The author emphasizes that the current law-enforcement practice clearly demonstrates that this provision of the Constitution is not operating properly. It weighs heavily by the absence of any attempt to use it either in the adoption of laws on local self-government or in the implementation of these laws.
In the absence of clearly formulated constitutional principles on the legal nature of local selfgovernment, the author substantiates the idea that local self-government should be considered as an important form of popular sovereignty. It serves as a kind of “extension” of state power on the local level, but with a qualitatively special, namely the decisive participation of the urban and rural population in resolution of issues of local significance. For this purpose, the competence of local self-government is delineated from the competence of state authorities.
In addition to the legal nature and purpose of local self-government in the system of public power, the author considers the territorial basis of the organization of local self-government. Recent legislative initiatives aimed at creating maximum opportunities for uniting of rural settlements are critically evaluated. It is possible to prevent and exclude such a possibility only by establishing clear objective criteria for the creation of rural and other municipalities. The most of these criteria, including approaches to the creation of all municipalities, should be set forth by the Constitution. This will make it possible to give the necessary stability to the territorial structure of the most important institution of democracy and to increase its efficiency in the interests of millions of citizens.

Keywords
Constitution of the Russian Federation, local self-government, public power, territorial organization of local self-government, rural settlements.

Mechanisms of Realization of the Constitutional Right of Citizens to Participate in the Management of Public Affairs  Pdf 16

Abstract
Nowadays it is widely believed that there are many shortcomings in the current approaches of democratic governance. In order to find a new form of democracy taking into account the needs of society, the new forms of governance are being actively developed and tested. Participatory democracy is one of these forms of governance.
Participatory democracy and its components have already been reflected in the constitutional law of foreign countries. The effectiveness and impact of its management methods have highlighted the necessity of their wider introduction in the Russian Federation. It should be noted that the components of participatory democracy, due to their low formalization in comparison with classical democracy, successfully use information technologies, and this in turn increases their attractiveness in the information society.
Participatory democracy is a relatively new phenomenon for our country, but some regions have already implemented projects based on its management methods. In the author’s opinion, participatory budgeting is one of the most successful method of participatory democracy. The author considers the experience of implementation of the participatory budgeting program based on the example of the Tula region concept, which significantly differs from similar programs in other regions of the Russian Federation and abroad. The author analyzes the legal mechanism of interaction between the authorities and the population involved in the project, and identifies the gaps in the legislation, which have affected the implementation of the participatory budgeting program.

Keywords

On the Subsidiary Liability of Beneficiaries of Offshore Companies and Trusts  Pdf 16

Abstract
The author examines the issues of the subsidiary liability of beneficial owners of offshore companies and trusts in the light of the requirements of the Russian laws on the subsidiary liability of the persons controlling the debtor’s entities.
The goal of the article is the analysis of the Federal Law «On Insolvency (Bankruptcy)», as well as the Russian case law regarding the bringing of offshore companies to subsidiary liability for the debts of Russian companies. The particular purpose of this article is to ascertain whether the current Russian laws and practice of their interpretation and application make it possible to bring controlling persons to a subsidiary liability without piercing the corporate veil, including those persons who act through offshore holding companies and trusts.
The author used the methods of analysis and synthesis.
The author concludes that the Russian rules on the subsidiary liability of the controlling persons apply to situations where the Russian organization — the debtor was brought to a bankruptcy by the actions of its offshore parent company. The persons, who actually managed with such offshore company, in particular, who gave the instructions to nominal shareholders and directors of an offshore company, as a result of which (instructions) the Russian organization was brought to bankruptcy, may be brought to subsidiary liability under the Russian law. In the light of the rules of Article 1202(4) of the Russian Civil Code for bringing to a subsidiary liability a person controlling a Russian debtor through an offshore holding structure, there is no need to refer to a foreign law if the applicant is satisfied with the rules of the Russian laws regarding liability of the persons controlling debtor’s entities.

The regulation nature in this realm assumes the importance to research the content and legal significance of the norms-principles and norms-objectives provided by this legislation. Such a goal that ensures the economic space unity does not have a common understanding either in academic research or in law enforcement practice. At present, there are no studies of the causes and practical consequences of declaring this goal when regulating procurement activities of corporate customers.
The purpose of this article is to resolve the issue of the content and mechanism of practical implementation of the goal to ensure the economic space unity when individual legal entities undertake procurement activities.
This goal is achieved on the basis of an of current law’s enforcement practices analysis using general research methods, as well as formal legal, systemic and structural approaches.
The author reveals the content of the goal for ensuring the economic space unity, as well as the reasons for its consolidation in the norms of the legislation on corporate procurements. Specific legal rules that ensure the realization of this goal are shown, the relationship of creating guarantees of a single economic space with other objectives of procurement legislation is established, specific aspects of the interaction of these goals are identified. The article systemizes the grounds for recognizing the actions of customers conflicting with the purpose.

Features That Ensure Performance of Obligations Within the State Defense Order’s Procurement Contract  Pdf 16

Abstract
Ensuring performance of obligations under the government contract is one of the main civil mechanisms allowing the state customer to react preventively to actions of unfair suppliers (contractors, performers). Ensuring creates additional expenses for participant's procurement procedures regarding the bank guarantee or customer's account balance payment. Therefore the Law on the State Defense Order provides the special rules of ensuring performance of obligations under the contract directed to decrease additional expenses for enterprises of defense industry complex.
The article highlights practical issues related to: the definition of the object of purchase, in relation to which specific rules are established to ensure the fulfillment of contractual obligations; the nature and essence of the requirements for participants in the placement of the state defense order, which give preferences in the field of obligations enforcement; defining the stage of the submitted procurement procedure documents confirming compliance with these requirements; and the content and procedure for granting these documents to procurement participants.
The author suggests change of legislative approach to regulation of ensuring obligations performance depending on purchased goods' (works, services) specifics and their purpose. The article suggests the author's edition of provisions of the Law on the State Defense Order, which allows to eradicate ambiguous practice of use of the relevant standards by the state customers, procurement participants, arbitration tribunals and Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Russian Federation. This, in turn and finally, might allow increase of efficiency of procurement in the field of ensuring defense and safety of the state.

Abstract
The article notes that the design of corpus delicti using administrative prejudice provides a number of indisputable advantages: it increases the preventive potential of the corresponding criminal law prohibition; increases the flexibility and adaptability of the legal protection of the interests of individuals, society and the state, provides the legislator with greater opportunities in terms of inter-sectoral differentiation of criminal and administrative responsibility; allows the legislator to carry out the “soft” criminalization of acts, while respecting the principle of economy of criminal repression, as well as for the decriminalization of acts that do not pose a significant public danger.
Based on the analysis of judicial practice, it is proved that crimes with administrative prejudice cannot be considered as a mechanical combination of two administrative offenses. When using the analysed legal construction, the first administrative offense characterizes not the objective side of the crime, but the specific status of the subject of the crime - its administrative punishment.
Analysing the legislative miscalculations made in the construction of corpus delicti with administrative prejudice, the author emphasizes that they do not detract from the undoubted merits of this legal construction. Administrative prejudice - skilfully used - is a very effective tool that ensures the coordinated effect of related prescriptions of tort administrative and criminal law, allowing for the implementation of “targeted”, addressed prevention of unlawful behaviour. That is why it should take a worthy place in the arsenal of technical and legal means of implementing criminal policy.

Keywords
administrative prejudice, crimes with administrative prejudice.

Abstract
Criminal cases on safety violation are often widely publicized and generate public debate. This is due to many factors, in particular the fact that such crimes are usually associated with causing harm to life or health, and their public investigation often reveals serious security gaps. In such a situation, the law enforcement authorities are tempted to apply the measures of criminal repression as rigidly as possible. However, the problem is that the effectiveness of achieving the objectives of criminal policy in the penalty for a safety violation can be very low for many reasons. All of them are discussed in detail in this article.
The purpose of the study is to analyze the problems associated with the punishment for a safety rules violation.
The methodological basis of the study is the system method. Also, such methods as analysis, synthesis and legal modeling are used. The data of statistics, as well as judicial practice literature are analyzed.
As a result of the research problems of criminalization and punishability of safety rules violation are formulated, which require a systemic solution. The authors demonstrates that here a private warning requires a minimum penalty, and also that judicial practice basically goes exactly along this path. It is proved that the effectiveness of achieving the objectives of the general prevention in the conviction of a safety violation can be extremely low, and often on the contrary, contribute to a harmful result from the social development point of view.

Abstract
The purpose of the present work is the legal analysis of the operating criminal regulation in the field of medical care. So, according to the approved “May Decrees” of the Russian President, strategic tasks of a solution of the existing problems in the social sphere are defined. Among the main development directions the task of forming a system of patients' rights protection is defined. In particular, it concerns enhancing the medical care control. However further development of Russia as a social state needs not only enhancing control in the considered sphere, but also formation of uniform approach to criminal regulation of medical care.
The Criminal Code of the Russian Federation contains a number of articles under which in case of infliction of harm to health, when rendering medical services, health care workers can be brought to trial. Meanwhile the organization of medical care is regulated by a number of regulations of federal importance and subordinate regulations, for which violations responsibility is set. Besides, emergence of new medical technologies demands criminal protection of the patients' rights against illegal actions. However development of the criminal legislation in this sphere strongly lags behind progress in medicine. In this regard in criminal law there are gaps demanding elimination.
The main objective of the author consists in application study of the problems related to criminal regulation of medical care. In this connection some examples of judicial practice are analyzed. The conclusion shows heterogeneity in law-enforcement practice. For better understanding the further improvement of the criminal legislation for violations in the medical sphere, the author carries out the retrospective analysis of development of doctors' criminal liability for the violations since the beginning of formation of a civilization to the present.
The article uses general-logical methods of knowledge, which include analysis, synthesis and deduction. Also historical and logical methods, methods of theoretical and empirical knowledge are used.
In this research the author comes to the conclusion that the existing criminal legislation provides protection of patients' rights, however there is a need for reform, as it does not meet modern progress in the field of medicine.

Abstract
One of the main objectives of the Action Strategy in the interests of senior citizens in the Russian Federation until 2025 is the creation of economic, social and legal conditions that ensure the non discrimination of senior citizens and encourage incentives for older people to continue working. The pension reform carried out in the Russian Federation since 2019, which envisages a gradual increase in the retirement age, causes increasing of labor activity. In this regard, the problem of preserving the employment of older people and protecting them from unemployment is of particular relevance.
The goal of the research is to improve the employment promotion and protection against unemployment mechanism, to identify the problems which senior citizens face when looking for employment, and the rationale for proposals for their elimination. The main areas of research are related to the search for approaches to assist senior citizens in preserving employment, obtaining new employment, and material support in case of unemployment.
The article covers the problems of loss of work by citizens of the older generation and the inability to find it in the short term due to the liquidation or reduction of old and the emergence of new high-tech jobs that require additional professional competencies and skills, the need to change professional activities due to reduced ability to work, termination of work for reasons of psychological pressure, personal, family circumstances.
The author formulates specific proposals to improve the mechanism for promoting employment and social protection of older citizens, including those aimed at preserving their employment, reducing the period of search for a suitable job by clarifying the criteria for such work, granting priority right to undergo vocational training for subsequent employment, as well as increasing material support during the period of unemployment, which should be reflected in the legislation on labor and employment in the Russian Federation.

Abstract
Today in the Russian legal science there is no single approach to understanding the essence of medical activity and determining the method of its legal regulation, which determines the relevance of research on this problem.
The purpose of the research is to study medical activity as a legal category and an object of legal regulation. The research tasks are: to analyze the content of the legal definition of “medical activity” and related concepts; consider existing approaches to understanding the essence of the legal regulation of medical practice; identify the sources of legal regulation of medical activity; identify existing problems in the area under study.
During the research, along with general scientific logical methods of cognition, formal legal and comparative legal methods were used.
The article analyzes the concept of "medical activity” in connection with the concepts of “health protection”, “health care”, “medical care”. It is noted that medical activity includes various types of professional activity, the object of which is human health, but the main subject of medical activity is associated with the performance of various works (services) in providing medical care. The review of different points of view concerning the understanding of the legal nature of medical activity is presented. The characteristic of the main sources of legal regulation of medical activity is given. Attention is drawn to the fact that the Federal Law of November 21, 2011 No. 323-FZ “On the basis of health protection in the Russian Federation” stated the expressed dominance of administrative regulators of medical activity, established a regime of centralized administration and strict regulation. At the same time, by-laws have a great regulatory impact, including the orders of the Russian Ministry of Health. However, the important role played by the customs of medical practice, as well as the ethical principles of the medical profession. The author upholds the idea of recognition of medicine as a special kind of socially significant professional activity, providing the constitutional right of citizens to health protection and medical care and therefore requiring special legal regulation.

The research methodology includes: a systematic approach as the main method of studying law, analysis and synthesis, statistical, formal legal, logical methods.
Along with the improvement of the rules on administrative responsibility, there is a constant increase in the number of legal entities brought to responsibility. The analysis of judicial practice of consideration of cases on administrative offenses committed by legal entities shows that along with the presence of a number of widely used compositions of administrative offenses, the application of certain rules of the Administrative Code on the responsibility of legal entities due to various factors is sporadic. At the same time, the infrequent application of certain rules on administrative responsibility cannot reliably confirm the absence of their constituent elements of offenses in the activities of legal entities, but rather due to problems in identifying illegal actions (inaction) that form the composition of an administrative offense, and in the course of proceedings on such offenses.
When considering these compositions of administrative offenses, the factors affecting the effectiveness of law enforcement are analyzed, and the need to take them into account when improving the institution of administrative responsibility of legal entities in the modern conditions of development of society and the state is indicated. It is concluded that the institute of administrative responsibility of legal entities needs to be reformed, including by eliminating the rules that do not correspond to the existing social relations, taking into account the analysis of law enforcement.

Abstract
Many states use a wide range of tools directly or indirectly contributing to the minimization of corruption. Article 13 of the Convention of United Nations against Corruption 2003, calls on States parties not only to active involvement of civil society, non-governmental organizations and associations functioning on the basis of communities in the prevention and fight against corruption, but also to promote understanding by the public of the existence, causes and dangerous nature of corruption, and the threat this crime poses.
One of the problems to which the relevant measures are aimed is related to the characteristic perception of the ordinary citizen of corruption. When an act of bribery is committed by a third party, it is identified as an act of corruption, but such a semantic link is lost with respect to various forms of petty corruption used in their personal interests.
In this regard, anti-corruption education is of particular importance, since a person's attitude to corruption is based on the moral and spiritual foundation, is conditioned by his cultural values and level of education, and only the presence of an actual legislative anti-corruption framework does not guarantee the reduction of the risks of corruption. Thus, among the measures contained in art. 13 of the Convention, for example, refers to public awareness activities that contribute to the creation of an atmosphere of intolerance against corruption, as well as public education programs, including curricula in schools and universities.

Keywords
corruption, worldview, cultural values, education, anti-corruption propaganda.
