Grishkovets A.A. Topical problems of administrative responsibility in the sphere of migration

Abstract: The article considers the issues of administrative responsibility for the violation of the rules of stay in the Russian Federation for foreign citizens. The author notes that the problem of migration is very significant in modern Russia. To ensure law and order in the sphere of migration, the measures of administrative coercion are widely used, particularly, the measures of administrative responsibility. Law enforcement practice has revealed the problem of existence of various approaches to the imposition of administrative responsibility on Russian citizens, married to foreign citizens (article 18.9 “Violation of entry regulations or rules of stay in the Russian Federation by a foreign citizen or a stateless person” of the Administrative Offences Code of the Russian Federation), and Russian citizens, married to Russian citizens (article 19.15.1.”Residence of a citizen of the Russian Federation at a place of stay or a place of residence without a registration” of the Administrative Offences Code of the Russian Federation). This difference is of a discriminatory nature; it contradicts the provisions of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Family Code of the Russian Federation. The legislator should make efforts to eliminate this difference. The research methodology is based on the recent achievements in epistemology. The author applies general philosophical and theoretical methods (dialectics, the system method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation and modeling), traditional methods of jurisprudence (formal-logical) and the special methods of sociology (statistical methods, expert assessments, etc.). The author concludes that at present, it is necessary to improve legal and organizational grounds of realization of administrative responsibility measures in the sphere of migration. The author concludes about the necessity to improve the quality of migration policy implementation in the Russian Federation.
