Abstract: On the base of systematization of the previous approaches to the problem, the authors attempt at analyzing the concept and the essence of the administrative regulation mechanism. The authors describe the existing general theoretical and special approaches to defining the concepts “legal regulation mechanism”, “administrative legal regulation mechanism”, helping develop a unified authors’ definition of the concept under consideration. The authors detect and characterize the specific features of the administrative legal regulation mechanism: compulsory legal consolidation; a specific purpose; a system and a complex character; a special structure and connection with legal procedures. The authors apply various general scientific methods of scientific cognition: analysis and synthesis, abstraction, modeling, the system-structural, functional and formal-logical approaches. The study has both general theoretical and conceptual character; it is a complex interdisciplinary study aimed at developing the general theory of legal mechanisms and defining the specificity of the administrative legal regulation mechanism. The authors compare scientific approaches to the understanding of the concept and the essence of the “administrative legal regulation mechanism” category, develop and demonstrate its unified definition, detect and describe its specific features.

Abstract: The article considers the ideals and the legal aspects of the technologies, used in public hearings, which are the contemporary form of Russian municipal deliberative democracy. The author studies the state of conceptual, historical and legal grounds of public hearings as a form of an institutionalized dialogue, rational discourse, discussion, persuasion, argumentation and compromises between municipal authorities and local communities. Taking into account the practice of public hearings in different Russia’s municipalities, the author considers the corresponding basic ideas and problems of their organization; studies the legal aspects of technical problems, which can appear during public hearings; offers the ways to improve this public institution and forecasts the priority directions of its development. The study is carried out within the scientific project No 16-03-50015 of Russian Fund for the Humanities. The author derives from the presumption that the functioning of deliberative democracy should be based on the fundamental principles of the thousand-year practice of Russian social institutions. The author analyzes the logics and patterns of their development and the historical forms of Russian deliberative democracy (Veche, Kopa, Krug (meeting), zemsky sobor), which had been based on common principles of organization and realization. Based on the results of this analysis, the author attempts at analyzing their closest modern analog and formulating the proposals about the improvement of the current statutory framework of public hearings. The author outlines the following practical recommendations: It is necessary to extend the variations of forms of public hearings It might be reasonable to legislate the grounds for the refusal of public hearings organization It is necessary to regulate the grounds for second public hearings on the same question It might be reasonable to limit the representation of municipal and public officers in public hearings commissions It is necessary to distinguish between the concepts of the right to participate in public hearings and the right to speak in public hearings, and to assign the priority right to speak to the citizens of the municipal entity, representing the significant territorial, social or professional groups of local population, widely supported and respected. Based on the public hearings practice, it might be reasonable to legislate the rules of defining the time and the place of public hearings. It is necessary to prohibit the organization of public hearings on several issues or objects, located in different parts of the municipal entity, at the same time, by the same participants. It might be reasonable to legislate the prohibition of voting on the issues, brought up for public hearings, aimed at defining the results of public hearings in the form of recommendations, reflecting the opinion of the majority of the participants of public hearings. It is necessary to formalize and clarify the reasons for the results of public hearings regarding or ignoring by local authorities or officials.

Abstract: The article considers the issues of administrative responsibility for the violation of the rules of stay in the Russian Federation for foreign citizens. The author notes that the problem of migration is very significant in modern Russia. To ensure law and order in the sphere of migration, the measures of administrative coercion are widely used, particularly, the measures of administrative responsibility. Law enforcement practice has revealed the problem of existence of various approaches to the imposition of administrative responsibility on Russian citizens, married to foreign citizens (article 18.9 “Violation of entry regulations or rules of stay in the Russian Federation by a foreign citizen or a stateless person” of the Administrative Offences Code of the Russian Federation), and Russian citizens, married to Russian citizens (article 19.15.1.”Residence of a citizen of the Russian Federation at a place of stay or a place of residence without a registration” of the Administrative Offences Code of the Russian Federation). This difference is of a discriminatory nature; it contradicts the provisions of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Family Code of the Russian Federation. The legislator should make efforts to eliminate this difference. The research methodology is based on the recent achievements in epistemology. The author applies general philosophical and theoretical methods (dialectics, the system method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation and modeling), traditional methods of jurisprudence (formal-logical) and the special methods of sociology (statistical methods, expert assessments, etc.). The author concludes that at present, it is necessary to improve legal and organizational grounds of realization of administrative responsibility measures in the sphere of migration. The author concludes about the necessity to improve the quality of migration policy implementation in the Russian Federation.
