Abstract: The subject of the study is the communicative process arising in the digital space in the context of the use of remote electronic voting (hereinafter referred to as DEG) in the presidential elections of the Russian Federation in 2024. The purpose of the work is to develop practical recommendations for improving the communicative interaction of the state and society in social networks. The authors analyze new forms of interaction between government agencies and the public, as well as conflict situations arising in this regard. Particular attention is paid to the perception of the DEG system by citizens, the identification of factors causing negative reactions, such as technical failures and insufficient information support from government agencies. The author also discusses the issues of mediatization of political processes in the context of digitalization and information warfare. In addition, the author examines the tactics of government agencies' reaction to negative comments and fakes. Statistical methods of analysis of official publications and comments, as well as elements of sentimental and critical discourse analysis were used for the study. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the study of public communications related to the introduction of DEG, as an example of the mediatization of political processes in Russia. The study identifies key factors that provoke conflict situations in the process of using the DEG system, such as technical failures and insufficient level of advice on solving these problems. Conclusions are drawn about the need to improve feedback from the public, increase information transparency of the system and develop more effective solutions for technical support. Measures to reduce conflict in communications through the use of mediation technologies and strengthening dialogue between government agencies and society are also proposed. In addition, this work emphasizes the need for further research and improvement of mediatized interaction processes.

Abstract: The subject of the study is the rights of citizens to health protection, as well as the possibility of their transformation in the direction of strengthening the legal nature of these relations. In the context of the dominance of the sectoral approach in law, the author develops ideas about subjective law as an effective regulator of patient behavior. The opinion is expressed that the responsibility of the subject's independent choice can give a new impetus to improving the level of quality indicators of medical care, ensuring the timeliness, qualification and comprehensiveness of examinations. An attempt has been made to shift the focus in the process of streamlining relations from the subject of legal regulation to methods. New opportunities have been identified to increase the level of the legal nature of court decisions that can take into account the objective need to expand the scope of private law (civil) ways of influencing the patient on the medical process. The dialectical method has become the main research method. The conditions for improving medical care are revealed, taking into account the differences between public law and civil law regulatory methods in solving problems of law enforcement practice. The scientific novelty is that the examples of legal practice have provided new knowledge necessary for the development of existing doctrinal approaches in legal science. The limitations of the sectoral approach in law, due to the high degree of dynamism of society, are convincingly argued. It has been established that orientation to the subject of legal regulation, as an unconditionally dominant factor in choosing a strategy and tactics for streamlining relations, does not always ensure the completeness of the legal nature of judicial acts. The emphasis of legal regulation in health protection is focused on the priority use of public law (or "organizing") methods that guarantee the mass provision of medical care designed for everyone. The possibility of providing quality indicators of care to a specific patient with special health characteristics and conditions for receiving it is still secondary. It is necessary to actively apply civil law methods of protecting the right to health protection, while skillfully using the resource potential of the law.

Abstract: The subject of the study is a comparison of the policy of China and the United States in the Central Asian region within the framework of the "C5+1" model. Both the United States and China, being the major powers of the modern world, seek to protect their interests in this region. In addition to existing bilateral and multilateral dialogue platforms, the United States and China have established a C5+1 dialogue mechanism with Central Asia. This mechanism has developed differently in both countries, each of which has created its own unique model and achieved a number of diplomatic results. The methodological basis of this research consists in an integrated historical and sociological approach. The authors used a historical approach to analyze the main factual information covered in the article as a whole. The innovation of this article is to scrutinize and compare the development of the “C5+1” model in China and the United States. The conclusion is that each US government has its own strategic priorities and diplomatic plans, the US “C5+1” mechanism has developed unevenly. Compared with the US mechanism, China's mechanism is more complete and at the same time has a higher level. Both China and the United States have developed their strategies in Central Asia according to their own interests, and that the main goal of the United States' current Central Asian strategy is to create a counterweight to Russia and China. For China, preserving sovereignty and stability as well as economic development are its primary interests.

Abstract: The study of technological cooperation between Russia and China is an in-depth analysis of the interrelationships that have developed between the two countries in the field of science and technology. The focus is on ongoing projects and initiatives, such as joint research, which play a key role in the development of both States. The influence of the international situation on these relations is considered as global changes and economic sanctions against Russia can affect the dynamics of cooperation with China. The study also analyzes the challenges that may arise in the development of these ties, including issues of intellectual property and competitiveness in the international arena. An important place is occupied by studying the role of technological exchange in strengthening the strategic partnership between the two countries, as well as its possible geopolitical consequences, such as strengthening the positions of both countries on the world stage, reducing dependence on Western technologies and influencing global supply chains. The study highlights the importance of technology cooperation as a tool to achieve a sustainable and secure future for Russia and China in a changing world order. The article uses methods of qualitative analysis based on data from scientific publications and reports. An important place is given to the interdisciplinary approach, which includes elements of system analysis, economic theory, international relations and political science. The methods used help to investigate the influence of technological factors on the dynamics of Russian-Chinese relations and assess their long-term prospects. Technological cooperation between Russia and China demonstrates great significant potential, despite the existing challenges. The study highlights the impact of political, economic and technological factors, as well as risks such as political instability and cyber threats. Deepening high-tech collaboration opens up new horizons for both countries, allowing knowledge sharing in strategically important sectors such as artificial intelligence and 5G. This study makes an innovative contribution, emphasizing the need to integrate technology and policy solutions. Technological cooperation also contributes to strengthening geopolitical cooperation in the face of sanctions pressure and instability.

Abstract: A new legal regulation is being formed in the Russian Federation related to unprecedented anti-Russian sanctions. International sanctions against Russia not only became an impetus for the development of legal institutions of Russian law, but also forced to turn to foreign anti-sanctions experience of such regulation. Under these conditions, a new legal institution of Russian law is being formed – the institute of counter-sanctions (sanctions) regulation. This process is taking place against the background of growing ties between Russia and China. At the same time, in both countries, counter-sanctions regulation is at the stage of formation. In this regard, it is relevant to conduct a comparative legal analysis, identify common and different characteristics of legislation, which will allow us to form proposals for improving Chinese and Russian counter-sanctions regulation. The author applies both philosophical and general scientific methods of cognition (analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, critical and dialectical methods) and methods specific directly to legal science (structural-logical, formal-legal, comparative-legal). The key difference between the Chinese approach to the formation of a counter-sanctions system is its focus on prohibiting compliance with the sanctions of foreign states. There is no such prohibition in Russian regulation (but several similar bills have been submitted to the legislature for consideration) and the legislative emphasis is on protecting the country and individuals from unfriendly actions of foreign states. Although the Chinese counter-sanctions regulation differs from the Russian one, it has a number of common features with it. Also, Russian regulation is more advanced and transparent in terms of mechanisms for the introduction and control of counter-sanctions. The undeniable advantage of Russian counter-sanctions regulation is undoubtedly its official consolidation within the framework of the legal system, while in China a significant part of the sanctions are outside the official legal regulation and are located in the plane of political decisions on the country's trade policy.

Abstract: An analysis of the current level of technology development allows us to conclude about the increasing role of digital technologies in public relations. The object of the study is the social relations that arise in the process of implementing blockchain technologies during the transition to a new technological order. The new (sixth) technological order is a reproduction system in which digital technologies (big data, blockchain, artificial intelligence) affect management activities, industrial and economic relations. Special attention is paid to the assessment of the legal regulation of these relations as one of the conditions for the full-scale introduction of modern digital technologies. In this article, the authors set the task of formulating an idea about the conditions for the introduction of blockchain technologies as a factor in ensuring the transition of modern society to a new technological order, including the implementation of legal conditions. The research methods are general scientific and special methods, among them the use of analysis to identify key trends, patterns and problems related to the legal regulation of blockchain technologies, as well as a formal legal method to determine the features of strategic planning documents, concepts and regulatory legal acts as elements of the legal conditions for the introduction of blockchain technologies. It is noted that the introduction of these technologies requires a number of conditions, including the formation of proper legal regulation, ensuring a sufficient technological basis, creating social conditions – preparing the population for the use of new technologies, ensuring financial and political conditions for modernization. In addition, the development of human resources and the creation of organizational conditions will ensure the comprehensive implementation of these technologies in public relations. Based on the results of the analysis of legal acts, the authors conclude that the state policy and regulatory framework for the transition to a new technological order and the introduction of blockchain technologies in various spheres of life are currently being determined at the strategic, regulatory and conceptual levels. In addition, some promising areas of implementation of blockchain technologies in public relations, including in legal activities, are noted.

Abstract: This article discusses the issues of legal regulation of environmental audit as a procedure for independent assessment of the environmental activities of enterprises and organizations and the negative impact of business entities on the environment. Attention is also paid to the goals and objectives of this legal mechanism as one of the types of preventive regulation in the field of environmental protection. The subject of the research were acts of a normative and non-normative nature containing any norms on environmental audit: the Federal Law "On Environmental Protection", decrees of the President of the Russian Federation, international and Russian standards. Special attention was paid to the issues of mandatory environmental audit, due to the fact that different authors divide environmental audit into such types as voluntary and mandatory, by analogy with financial audit. In order to study this legal mechanism, we have reviewed the laws and regulations of the Russian Federation, as well as international standards, and conducted a comparative analysis of them. It is shown that despite the obvious advantages of conducting an audit – both for the organization itself (reducing external costs, identifying and eliminating the causes of environmental offenses) and for maintaining a favorable environmental quality, this mechanism practically does not work in Russia due to the lack of detailed legal regulation. Based on the results of the review of legal acts in which there are norms on environmental audit, it can be noted that such norms are only declarative in nature, do not have any implementation mechanisms. In terms of mandatory and voluntary audits, it is concluded that there are no requirements for mandatory environmental audit in Russian legislation. At the same time, the lack of regulation of the mechanism for the implementation of environmental audit and the requirements for the procedure for its conduct create certain difficulties for enterprises making decisions on voluntary environmental audit.
