Abstract: The problems related to development of public order and legal order are fundamental in the theory of law and largely carry a polemical character. Juridical science gives detailed attention to revelation of the essence and categorical analysis of this institution. The theoretical-legal substantiation of its functionality in the conditions of advancement of local self-governance is developed to a much lesser degree. This article analyzes the views of researchers on the representational nature of public order, determines its place within the system of local self-governance, expounds the significance in part of new approaches, including the amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The authors prove that public order is ensured by sustainable functionality of regulatory mechanisms that involve social structures. The role of the forming civil society is also significant in this regard. The articlegives assessment the state of public order, and demonstrates that it represents a dynamically developing state legal institution. The conclusion is substantiated that the need for protection of public order stems from its consistent social value for society as a whole. This contains the possibilities for controlling anarchy, mitigation of egoistic intentions of individuals, and retention of manageability by the state. Control of negative phenomena in the process of social development is capable of ensuring society from internal collapse.

Abstract:  With the increase of awareness on the problems of national security associated with the unauthorized disclosure of classified information, the legal protection of classified information obtained a new meaning. However, it simultaneously causes growing concern regarding its impact upon the freedom of information. Between these competing political interests lies a separate branch of law, which defines and protects specially designated secrets from unauthorized disclosure. The goal of this article consists in determination of the relevant state practice for protection of classified information for national security reasons in various countries, as well as consideration of the general problems of demarcation of the grounds of national security for protection of classified information in light of changing circumstances of national security. The study explores 108 countries, in which the State Secrecy Law exists in one or another form from the perspective of: 1) classification of information on national security; 2) threshold values of disclosure; 3) offences related to disclosure of classified information. The conclusion is made that with the expansion of modern “state of national security”, the existing legal criteria would become less and less efficient in demarcation of the grounds of information security for protecting specially designated secrets, if the legislation does not clearly place public interest before the interests of national security.

Abstract: The object of this research is extremism. The subject is the special characteristics of the definition of "extremism" contained in the normative legal acts. Based on the analysis of domestic and international legal documents, it is proven that the category of "extremism" has no universal legal definition. This fact and the ambiguity of the legal interpretation of extremism as a wrongful act, significantly reduces the practical application of normative legal acts in the course of preliminary investigation, as well as investigative and judicial activities. Additionally, in the context of the entity category of "extremism", this work examines such forms of extremism as radicalism. The study uses complex methodological approaches that help achieve the goals and solve the tasks of the research: general research methods (analysis and synthesis, logical), system analysis, comparative and legal methods. The result of this study is the selection of special features in the contents of the definition of "extremism" that are present in its interpretation of international and domestic legal instruments, comparing them with threats to national security of the Russian Federation and on this basis defining the universal logical boundaries of extremism as an illegal act.

Abstract: cThe article examines the role of constitutional (charter) courts of the subjects of the Russian Federation in the constitutional-legal support of the unity and territorial integrity of the Russian Federation as basic constitutional values.
