Abstract: The article deals with the legal nature and essential characteristics of legislation giving grounds for administrative detention. Some drawbacks of administrative legislation concerning detention in the Russian Federation are analyzed in the paper. The absence of detailed enumeration of grounds for administrative detention in the art 27.3 of the Administrative Code makes its definition not clear enough for its practical usage. The general scientific methods of cognition such as the method of analysis, the comparative method, the system and structural methods, the legal and technical research methods form the methodological basis of the article. The article investigates the acute problem connected with the administrative detention of a person who has not been brought to trial and consequently is not instituted to administrative proceedings. In the author's opinion, it doesn't mean that the detention was illegal or violated the requirements of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and International Law.The author underlines the fact that there is a strong necessity to protect the rights of the detained person who is intoxicated and to examine him by the psychiatrist legally, besides it is necessary to fix the period of time within which the particular person becomes sober without any medical assistance. Nowadays under the current legislation it is impossible to determine the commencement of the period of administrative detention for persons who are intoxicated.The article draws attention to the fact that there is a lack of general regulations of appealing against administrative detention in the current Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation. Consequently, according to the author, it is necessary to develop a unified approach to the procedure of appealing against administrative detention despite the fact what public authorities or authorized officials carry out the detention.It is concluded that administrative detention should comply with the Convention on Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and pursue a legitimate purpose. According to the author, the absence of the latter doesn't allow consideration of administrative detention as reasonably necessary for prevention an offence, and this fact testifies to its arbitrary nature.

Abstract: The article considers the problems related to use of means of restraint by security forces of the Russian Federation in the light of its commitments in the sphere of use of weapons of war, use of force and firearms by security forces. Combating crime is not the problem of a distinct state anymore. Some criminal actions, such as production and distribution of drugs, counterfeiting of money and distrubution of bad money, piracy, androlepsy, and others pose danger not only on the regional, but also on the international level. It is a historical trend that each state works out its own mechanisms of combating crime, but there is one common feature, lying in the fact that security forces are mainly armed with the weapons which are adopted by their states’ armies, i.e. the weapons of war. The methodology of the research is based on the up-to-date achievements of epistemology. The author uses the general philosophical and theoretical methods (dialectics, the system approach, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation, and modeling), the traditional juridical methods (formal-logical), and the methods used in sociological research (the statistical method, expert evaluations, etc.). The analysis of international normative legal acts in the sphere of weapons of war creation and restriction of use, specifically the particular kinds of conventional weapons, and their use by security forces during the performance of their duties, had shown the necessity of further development of normative acts, enhancing the order of creation and use of non-lethal weapons. It is noted that the collective bodies of the international community call the states upon for arming their security forces with the weapons, allowing use of force differentiating and not wounding severely.

Abstract: The article considers the problems of correlation of such functions of judicial bodies of constitutional control as the legal protection of constitution and the protection of human and citizen’s constitutional rights and freedoms. Relying on the analysis of a range of the decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the bodies of constitutional justice of the states of Central and Eastern Europe, the author concludes that these bodies often change the essence of constitutional regulations. Particularly, the constitutional courts put the wrong construction on the constitutional regulations which provide the right to life, impose a ban on capital punishment and euthanasia even with the absence of this rule in the constitutional regulations. The decisions of the judicial bodies of constitutional control can also change the subject of constitutional rights (introducing the right to life for an unborn child). The methodology of the research is based on the up-to-date achievements of epistemology. The author uses the general philosophical and theoretical methods (dialectics, the system method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation, and modeling), the traditional juridical methods (formal-logical), and the methods which are used in specific sociological research (the statistical methods, expert evaluations, etc.). At the same time, the analysis of practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the bodies of constitutional justice of the states of Central and Eastern Europe shows that in the process of their main goal achievement these bodies not only decide about the constitutionality of the legal act, but also form their attitude towards the legal problems under consideration, i.e. their legal position which contains the interpretation of constitutional regulations which provide human and citizen’s right and freedoms. Simultaneously, the judicial bodies of constitutional control specify the essence and the content of constitutional regulations with regard to the sphere of public life which is regulated by law or other normative legal act, the constitutionality of which is being verified. The approach to the legal position of the constitutional court as an obligatory interpretation of constitutional regulations is conventional in the modern constitutional law studies in Russia and Central and Eastern Europe states.

Abstract: The turn of the twentieth – the twenty-first centuries was marked by the active development of equity market in the Russian Federation. The adoption of a big amount of normative acts in this sphere determined the appearance of problems, connected with the structuring of the components of administrative offences; defining the measures of state coercion for the delinquencies in the sphere of equity market; order of proceedings on administrative offences. The article is aimed at the consideration of this set of problems and the formulation of suggestions about the enhancement of administrative jurisdiction in the sphere of equity market. The methodology of the research is based in the up-to-date achievements of epistemology. The author uses the general philosophical and theoretical methods, dialectics, the system method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation, modeling, the traditional juridical methods (formal-logical), and the methods used in the specific sociological research (the statistical method, expert evaluations, etc.). The analysis of administrative offences in the sphere of equity market, contained in the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation, shows that, unlike the offences in the spheres of finances, taxes and charges, the administrative offences in this sphere are contained, actually, in one codified normative legal act – the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation. The latest variant seems to be optimal and can serve as a base when reforming of administrative-jurisdictional legislation in the sphere of finances, taxes and charges, insurance, and equity market.

Abstract: The research subject is the Anglo-Saxon legal system as one of the most widespread systems in the world juridical practice. The authors note that many countries of this legal system have been more successful in combating corruption than the Russian Federation, and the adoption of their experience could have positive results in the Russian practice. It is possible that the results of the analysis of different methodological approaches, applied in the formation of norms about the subjects of corruption crimes, based on the international and foreign experience, will help the scholars to formulate the universal system of efficiency criteria of the national penal legislation depending on the degree of coverage of corruption crimes subjects whose socially dangerous acts form penal corruption. On the base of the comparative-legal method the authors analyze a wide range of archive materials, scientific works, and press. The application of the formal-juridical method helped formulate the authors’ definitions. In the authors’ opinion, Russian penal legislation should organically allocate with penal legislation of foreign states in order to provide the functioning of a single interstate legal system of combating corruption as a crime. It should meet the modern corruption challenges and timely criminalize the most dangerous forms of corruption. It should also contain certain principles, providing the opportunity (following the principles of legality and guilt) to immediately react to the new ways, methods and forms of corruption crimes within the provided by penal legislation (in the special part of Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) components of crime.
