Abstract: The author of the article covers some issues that may be faced by law-enforcement agencies in the process of determining personal information of individuals who have committed violations of law. At the present time these legal relations are regulated by several articles of The Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. However, there are still a lot of issues that remain unsolved and become evident when the right to one's own name is exercised in the Russian Federation. The author of the article draws our attention to the fact that as a result of a number of objective and subjective reasons, it is not always possible to define personal information of individuals in the Russian Federation. The aforesaid problems are studied by the author using the logical method and systems approach, analysis and synthesis, formal law and comparative law methods. The main conclusion of the research is the author's position that there is a certain need in a better and fuller criminal protection of the right to one's own name by introducing the term 'false identity' into the criminal law sphere. The author also emphasizes the need to legally fix a responsibility for 'false identity' usage when an individual tries to avoid punishment or make the process of justice more complicated. This responsibility should be fixed in The Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Abstract: The subject of the research is the adaptation of the interactive software interface 'Protocol on an Administrative Offense' by Universities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the educational process to develop University students' ability to prepare and duly compile legal documents and official records as well as to fully and correctly demonstrate results of their professional activity in procedural and official documents. This, in its turn, will raise efficiency and prominence of the educational process in terms of students studying administrative law and administrative activity disciplines. The methodological basis of the research implies general research methods, in particular, analysis, synthesis and modeling. The main conclusion of the research is that the author emphasizes the need to use the interactive software interface 'Protocol on an Administrative Offense' when preparing university (in-class) lectures and organising self-learning activities of students at the Universities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and other higher education universities and institutions of the Federal Ministries and subordinate agencies. The novelty of the research is caused by the fact that there are no more electronic studying guides like the interactive software interface 'Protocol on an Administrative Offense' in the educational process.

Abstract: The article is devoted to the problem of criminal investigation search when there is no information about an unlawful act that is going to be committed, in the process of commitment or has been already committed, or facts to start a criminal proceeding are insufficient. The authors touch upon some methods of criminal investigation that can be used to achieve relevant goals and tasks. In addition, the authors provide a brief analysis of various points of views on whether it is permitted to carry out investigation activities to obtain primary information. Based on the analysis of police investigation departments and activities they perform, in particular, personal security subdivisions of the Department of Internal Affairs, the authors emphasize the need in initiating investigation activity. Noteworthy, that criminal investigation activity performed by the Department of Internal Affairs is also executed to legally protect internal affairs officials and their families. In the course of their research the authors have applied such methods as analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, comparative law analysis, etc. They have also used a survey where investigation officials were to answer a questionnaire and answer questions about activity of personal security subdivisions of the Department of Internal Affairs in the process of obtaining, collecting and applying criminal investigation information. The main conclusions made by the authors include their suggestions on how to change the current Federal Law 'Concerning Criminal Investigation Activity' and emphasize the need to carry out investigation activity to discover important information. The novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the authors provide that investigation search comprises the core of modern direction of criminal investigation activity and provision of personal security of the Ministry of Internal Affairs officials.
