Abstract: Juvenile delinquency prevention is one of the most important tasks of the law-enforcement system of any country. Unfortunately, this problem, like any other problems of crime, has no simple solutions. Moreover, in the modern context the problems of youth violence, extremism, and various forms of deviant behavior are as urgent as they’d never been. These problems are also urgent for Russia. Using general scientific methods of analysis and comparison, the author analyzes the legislative construction of stealing of objects of a particular value, and the moment of finishing of this crime. The author bitterly notices that the monument to the famous Soviet pedagogue in Kharkov was destroyed on 24 October 2011. This monument had been constructed in 1968, and its construction was funded by the workers of the FED plant. Now the person, considered as a heritage of the world civilization, is not needed by those who he had worked for, only because his ideas don’t correspond with those of the contemporary historians of Kharkov.

Abstract: The article considers the peculiarities of offences and crimes related to the rendering of funeral services to the population. It is ascertained that the rendering of funeral services is a specific form of entrepreneurship. This activity is regulated by special legislation: the federal law “On the protection of competition”, the federal law “On burial and funeral business”, Presidential decree “On the guarantees of citizens’ rights to burial services”; order of analysis and expertise of the competitive environment on goods markets, established by the order of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of Russia of April 25, 2006 No 108; normative legal acts of local governments, among which the most interesting is the law “On burial and funeral business in Moscow”. The author applies the methods of analysis and synthesis and the dialectical method of cognition. The author ascertains the key features of offences and crimes in the sphere of funeral services. The author proves that entrepreneurship in funeral services is not only a specific form of entrepreneurship, but also a shadow form of economic activity. Therefore, this form of entrepreneurship is doomed to the direct and indirect connection with various abuses and even crimes. At the same time, the Criminal Code contains only one article (244, Outrages upon Bodies of the Deceased and Their Burial Places) which establishes the responsibility in the sphere of funeral services. In all other cases criminal responsibility is imposed on general grounds (official malfeasance, economic crimes).

Abstract: The article considers the deepening of criminalization of the Russian market of funeral services. Optimization of private and public legal means of the mechanism of its regulation is offered as one of the main ways of prevention of the market criminalization. The authors argue that the peculiarities of this mechanism should be reflected in the Russian legislation on burial and funeral business.The article studies the tendencies and prospects of development of the Russian legislation in this sphere. Identifying the advantages and disadvantages of the two actively discussed in Russia draft laws "On introduction of amendments and additions to the Federal law "On burial and funeral business", prepared by the Federal Antimonopoly service and the funeral community (focused on the self-regulation of the funeral industry), and "On the funeral business", published by the Ministry of construction in the fall of 2014 (aimed at the domination of the license regulation of the market of ritual services), the authors conclude about the necessity of combining the advantages of two models: self-regulation and licensing. The authors apply the general scientific and special methods of cognition: the dialectical, formal-logical, structural-functional methods and modeling. The idea of social entrepreneurship, which is widely used in the developed legal systems, is presented as a perspective way of the burial legislation improvement. In the authors’ opinion, it will help optimize the private and public legal means of the mechanism of the funeral services market regulation.

The author analyzes the current national and international legislation, regulating the issues of transplantation of human organs, tissues and cells. Using the examples of national and international legislation, the author demonstrates the peculiarities of private-law acts causa mortem. The author notes that human body can’t be considered as a separate independent object, since during the human’s life it doesn’t exist on its own, but is an integral part of an individual. To achieve the research goals the author applies the general scientific and special methods, including analysis, synthesis, the structural-logical method, the statistical method, the method of comparative-legal analysis, the method of moving from concrete to abstract and other methods of scientific cognition.

Abstract: The article considers the peculiarities of a lifetime funeral services contract. The authors provide its legal qualification as a means of prevention of the funeral sphere criminalization. The paper substantiates the recommendations on the improvement of the federal law draft “On funeral services in the Russian Federation”. As a rule, the law presupposes a written form of a remunerative service contract, according to the clause 1, article 161 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, which runs that the deals between legal entities with the participation of citizens, or between citizens, in sum more than 10 times exceeding the minimal remuneration of labor rate, should be concluded in a written form. To achieve the research goals the authors apply the general scientific and special methods of analysis, synthesis, the structural-logical method and other methods of scientific cognition. The authors conclude that a lifetime funeral service contract is a form of remunerative service agreement in favor of a third person with a suspensive condition. With a view to increase the guarantees of a proper implementation of this treaty it is considered reasonable to legalize a trilateral construction of this contract: one party is a customer and a payer of a funeral service, expressing his will to be buried in a certain place, according to certain traditions; another party is an executor of a contract – a funeral service; the third party is an agent, responsible for the execution of the will of the customer in the case of his death. The third party should gain the status of the ritual services customer.
