Abstract: Based on the analysis of the Constitutions of the Republics and the Ustavs of the other constituent subjects of the Russian Federation, as well as the current regional legislation, the author studies the definition of territory of the constituent subjects of the federation as an object of their application. It is noted that the limits to the independency of the constituent subjects are understood in a variety of ways. The author singles out four approaches towards territory in regional constitutional (Ustav) regulation: geographical, administrative territorial, municipal territorial and lack of regulation. Having analyzed the geographical approach, and noting the variety of formulae in the relevant legislation, the author comes to a conclusion that the territory of a constituent subject includes dry land, domestic waters, the aerial space over the waters and land, as well as the subsoil of the constituent subject. This position is supported by the issues of shared competence of the Russian Federation and its constituent subjects according to the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The author points out that administrative territorial approach is characterized by provision for administrative territorial objects with no geographical references. The municipal territorial approach is characterized by mention of municipal formations within the territory of the constituent subject. It is noted that most of the constituent subjects fail to define territory in their basic laws. Then the author comes to a conclusion, that it is necessary to harmonize the legislation of the constituent subjects of the Russian Federation in the sphere of defining their territory.

Abstract: A number of legal scholars and practicing lawyers prefer novel and progressive technologies in the criminal judicial procedure, including the electronic case file. Also, the federal programs on development of judicial system contain some prerequisites, which “push” the judicial system towards the introduction of the electronic case files. However, it seems more reasonable to develop federal programs for the pre-trial criminal procedures. The existing provisions for the modern technologies shall allow to introduce the electronic case files in the nearest decade, and it shall not require any considerable amendments in the Criminal Procedural Code of the Russian Federation. However, it shall be necessary to provide legislative regulation for the application of this technology, to avoid barriers and problems, which may arise due to the introduction of an electronic form of criminal cases.

Abstract: The article is devoted to the topical problem related to the lack of highly qualified professionals, as well as the low salaries of persons employed in the sphere of production. In the opinion of the authors in order to resolve these problems, there is need to amend the legislation, so that the role of persons, who participate in social production with the human capital of their intellectual and physical abilities, shall be elevated to the proper level. In order to achieve this goal, the authors offer to introduce the legal provisions (preferably in the Civil Code of the Russian Federation) enshrining the abilities of a person as its inalienable property. The basis for such provisions can be found in Art. 34 and 37 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The human capital in the production sphere is not officially recognized, but it has always held a leading position, since its quality and efficiency of its application are crucial for the economic development of production enterprises as well as the state as a whole. Human capital plays a special role in the current situation when the production becomes more and more technologically complex.
