Abstract:
Comparison of the sheer amount of criticism aimed at the previous Criminal Procedural Code of the Russian Federation (CPC RF) and the current CPC RF may assure one that the new law is worse than the old one. Is it really so? In order to answer this question, one must study the basis of the criticism. Is it the objective catastrophical situation in the sphere of criminal judicial procedure? Or is it a subjective sence of “dead end” among some law-enforcement authorities, facing the new conceptual approaches to the judicial proceedings within the current CPC RF.

P. 72-78.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=52954
Abstract:
Recent events in France reminded us of the need for a flexible legal policy, recognizing all the relevant factors and national interests, as well as the human rights value, in a state, where there is a large number of migrant workers, and it also reminded us of what kind of consequences might ensue, if this rule if not followed. Migration processes indicate the development of a number of aspects of a state: political, ethnosocial and labor market. These processes are influenced by changes, taking place both within one specific state, and within the international community as a whole. This article contains analysis of this problem ”in motion” – from the 1950s to the current time.

Abstract:
A wish to live in a civilized state does not necessary presuppose the need to go abroad and leave Russia. In any case, we remain essentially Russian, and no one can make us Americans or Germans. However, the question is how to protect our best qualities: our spiritual values, kindness, patience, readiness to help other people, while teaching us to be responsible and careful, to take initiatives an to abide by law? How to make us respect the rights of the weak, of the national minorities, and, generally, the right of people to life? In other words, the central issue of this article is how to enter a civilized world community and keep our Russian spiritual values?

“We have but quite unclear information on the Pavlovsky case” (previously unknown letters of the attorney A.Y. Passover to the Muscovite “young lawyers” on the case of Pavlovsky sectarians)
// Politics and Society.
2006. ¹ 1.
P. 97-107.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=52956
Abstract:
At the verge of the XIX and XX centuries there was a number of “religious cases” in Russia. The first such case was a so-called “Pavlovsky sectarians case”, which caused much social resonance in spite of the fact that it was a “closed” judicial process. This case clearly shows the contradictions between the official government and the various religious movements, and it attracted attention of a famous Russian writer Leo Tolstoy. Y.V. Varfolomeev’s article is devoted to the review of the events, which led to to this process, as well as to the history of the judicial process itself. It also includes previously unknown letters by A.Y. Passover to the “young lawyers”, who handled defence in this case.

Some political and legal aspects of capital punishment in the Russian history.
// Politics and Society.
2006. ¹ 1.
P. 108-116.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=52957
Abstract:
As the author of this article notes, the issue of capital punishment in Russia does not lose its topicality, and it should be evaluated taking into account the use of capital punishment in the history of Russian state. In Russia the crimes against the state were traditionally considered to be most dangerous and were punished by a death penalty, while a premediated murder was not punished with a dealth penalty since mid-XVIII century. Thus, the history of capital punishment in Russia shows that there has always been a political approach to its application. Thus, the object of protection (and capital punishment was used as means of such protection) has always been the state itself, its security, its unity, its property, and not a person or his life.

Abstract:
The societies of the mountain-dwellers of the Northern Caucasia in the first half of the XIX century became subject to introduction of specific political and administrative institutions, aimed at study, police control and indirect management of these territories. These measures formed the basis for the administrative and political sphere of the Northen Caucasia region of the Russian Empire. The police system, in spite of its imperfections, played an important role in management of the region, and the foundations were layed for the transformation of the region in future. However, the then-existing system was only good as a temporary measure, and by the end of the Caucasia war it lost its efficiency and stalled operative management of the region.
