Abstract: Starting from this issue of the journal, we begin publication of the materials on the newly developed Master’s Program of the Kutafin Moscow State Law University on «Material Law and Judicial Protection in Civil Cases». The program is presented with series of publications on special courses (disciplines) of the program, authors of this program develop the working programs for such disciplines. Special disciplines within the program relate either to material law or to the procedural block, which serve as a «specialization core» — a professional cycle of the program defining its contents and profile. The relation among the disciplines reflects the dominating basic vector of the program towards cognition and understanding by the students of the mutual influence and interdependence of material and procedural law in the sphere of civil judicial procedure through the object of study — civil cases. The specialization of the program reflects upon the inextricable connections between the civil (arbitration) procedural law and the branches of material law, such as civil, family, labor law, which are considerably connected to civil judicial procedure, and a large number of civil cases in these spheres are dealt with by the courts of general jurisdiction and arbitration courts based on the procedural and material legal norms.

Abstract: As a practical study shows, the modern society is currently facing a number of global problems, reflecting on vital interests of all the people. One of such problems is migration crisis, which has a considerable influence on all of the vital spheres and political, legal and economic processes in them. Migration of people is a natural pattern, so all of the migration processes follow some universal laws of social development, at the same time having some specific features depending on historical time and place. Today all of the states pay much attention to the improvement of migration policy, however, the objective reality requires the administrative efforts to be united in order to manage migration processes more efficiently, to more actively fight negative effects and consequences of unlawful and spontaneous migrations, etc. In order to find new efficient instruments and mechanisms for bringing the migration processes In Russia into certain order and to bring them within the vector of social and economic development, it is necessary to study specific features of formation and development of the Russian institution of limitations to the freedom of movement, choice of place of permanent and temporary residence. The article includes a retrospective analysis of formation of migration processes In Russia and the practice of legal regulation in this sphere.

Abstract: At the current stage of development external labor migration is one of the key migration movements in various regions in the world. The specific features of migration processes in the post-Soviet territory is due first of all to the fact that at the time of earlier existence of a unified state, this migration was regarded as internal migration. Currently these are external migration processes among the CIS Member States within the framework of rather active migration exchange of people, including labor migrants, among the CIS Member States and other states. The analysis of specific features of economic, geopolitical and demographic conjuncture within this region allows the author to establish specific features of international legal regulation of the labor migration processes among the CIS Member States and to provide some recommendations on its improvement.
