Abstract:
In spite of the fact that the debate on federalism has been going on for a while among our legal scholars, this issue was not yet evaluated as a key political issue of the modern Russia. The principal new feature of N.M. Dobrynin’s monograph, review on which is presented in this article, is that he sees the issue of territorial structure of the Russian Federation as a key and primary issue of the Russian statehood in the past, the present and the future…

Abstract:
This article by Professor V.G. Bayev provides us with a detailed evaluation of the historical school of law, which had been traditionally criticized as a reactionary one. However, as the author notes, its study is of considerable interest within the contest of particular time and place, as the principle of historicism requires us, since there is no such thing as an universal theory and each theory strives to deal with the challenges of its own time. The article contains analysis of the views of the key representatives of this school, as well as of the historical conditions of its development and of its input into the development of legal theory.

Abstract:
The Constitution of the Russian Federation of 1993 had reflected the changes in all spheres of the Russian society and for the first time in the entire history of the Russian state proclaimed the priority of the individual rights and interests over the other values of state and society. Accordingly, the Constitution of the Russian Federation provides for a number of the constitutional obligations of a state, and effective realization of these obligations is a must not only for the effective functioning of the state, but also for the well-being and security of the Russian citizens. In N.N. Snezhko’s article one may find the characteristics of constitutional obligations of the modern Russian state, as well as the analysis of the problem of their adequate implementation…

Imperfections of criminal legislation make fighting crime less effective.

Abstract:
Criminal legal policy of any state should strive to strike a right type of balance between an effective control of a state and ensuring the rights and freedoms of any individual. Do the changes, which are brought into the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, help to achieve such balance, or rather the contrary? In Professor Ilyichev’s article one may find critical analysis of the measures taken to “soften” Russian criminal law, namely, amendments to the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

// Law and Politics.

Abstract:
New Criminal Procedural Code of the Russian Federation brought a changed perspective to the provisions on the purpose of the criminal judicial procedure, and a different level of goals of this procedure. However, the formulation of a new purpose of the criminal judicial procedure causes much heated discussion among both practicing lawyers and legal scholars. As the authors of this article note, in fact, the new Code altogether lacks mention of goals of criminal judicial procedure as such, which is probably one of the key defects of the Code, which may cause various negative consequences. The defect itself is in incorrect use of terminology, confusion of goals and functions of the criminal judicial procedure…

Abstract:
On the year of the 60th anniversary of the UN, one should surely note its considerable impact on strengthening the world order, and one should agree that preservation and development of the UN is a key goal in the international sphere. Since the UN is a multi-level, multinational, open and universal system, it is truly a prototype of the mechanism of unity of all states, all organizations and social structures, which would allow to realize the principle of unity in variety in the XXI century. The UN provides us with an opportunity to discuss any complicated issues, facilitates an effective dialogue of representatives of different nations, religions, languages, cultures and political views…

Abstract:
As the Director of the Institute of the Eastern-European Law of the Cologne University Angelica Nussberger notes, implementation of the European Convention on human rights in the Member States poses a challenge for any national legal system. Importantly, this challenge should not be seen as a goal to be achieved at some point, but rather, as a constant process of influence on traditional understanding and application of national law. This is especially so for the states, which ratified the Convention recently, so first 50 cases, of which Russia is a party, hold a special value for development of all spheres of Russian law.

Abstract:
Current results and tendencies of development of the Russian Federation as a federal state clearly show that our state slowly but surely strives to achieve basic values of federalism. That is why, as the author of this article notes, it is so important to deal with the existing lack of balance in the sphere of separation of powers, to create additional legal and institutional guarantees of effective and democratic federalism, which then would adequately respond to any modern challenges. What should be done? The answer to the question if this development shall be successful really depends on the correct choice of the current state and legal policy of the Russian Federation…

Abstract:
The value of formation, improvement and of effective functioning of the judicial constitutional control in the Russian Federation can hardly be underestimated. It is important, however, that related problems can be solved more easily, if we take into account the foreign experience of constitutional control. In N.N. Kharitonova’s article one may find analysis of key models of judicial constitutional control - usually referred to as an American model and a European model, or, in their functional aspect, diffusion and concentration models. The author also provides us with an evaluation of the Russian model of judicial constitutional control.
