Abstract: The subject of this research is the cultivation in younger generation of respect to folk culture as a foundation of uniqueness and self-identification of the people. An intrinsic element of folk culture, along with the folksong and folkdance, is the memory of historical events as the basis for the development of folklore. Having analyzed the events of the late XX – early XXI centuries, the conclusion is made on inadmissibility of nullification of panhuman values and separate acts as crimes against humanity. Thus, it is suggested to view the culture of preservation of historical memory as an essential element in cultivation of folk culture. The author establishes correlation between the development of cultural diversity of ethnoses, peoples, nationalities and nations populating the Russian Federation and the formation of the unified national idea of the state. The result of analysis of the events related to violation of the provisions of the Nuremberg Tribunal Verdict on recognition of Nazi collaborators as freedom fighters in separate European states, led to realization of the need to cultivate the culture of preservation of historical memory and refrain the younger generation from overrating the outcome of World War II. Emphasis is made on the need to develop culture of working with the archival data as the foundation for preservation of historical memory of the population of modern Russia.

Abstract: The subject of this research is the particularities of the legal regulation of activity conducted by specialized enterprises rendering financial services in the Russian Federation. The author analyzes how definitions used to denote the aforesaid actors have been transformed and how requirements for specialised enterprises rendering financial services have been changed under modern conditions. The comparative law analysis of the European Union and USA laws regulating creation and activity of enterprises rendering financial services has allowed to define similar provisions that relate, first of all, to the core capital as the guarantee of performance of obligations to customers. Moreover, the other similarity is that there are special requirements for the heads of such enterprises (major, job experience, sterling reputation, etc.). In the course of achieving research objectives the author has applied general research principles, approaches and  methods, in particular, dialectical approach as a method of objective and comprehensive analysis of the reality and dynamics of this reality; historical method to define the genesis of the concept of a specialised enterprise rendering financial services; inductive method to clarify the definition of credit organisations and financial organisations. The researcher has also used special research methods such as formal legal method and comparative law method. Based on the summarized theoretical and practical materials, the results of the research has allowed to describe particularities of such key terms as credit organisations and financial organisations. In addition, the author has also described particularities of the legal regulation of activities carried out by such enterprises as a result of the specific nature of their services. The results of the research have also allowed to conclude that in order to establish a single system of requirements for all economic entities operating on the financial services market, it will be beneficial to adopt a special federal law 'Concerning the Financial Services Market' that would help to interpret and apply the main social relations of all entities on the financial services market in the law enforcement practice.

Result of the conducted analysis give all grounds to speak of the purposefulness of establishment with regards to the authorized capital of non-governmental pension funds and unit investment funds the requirements on the obligatory deposit of authorized capital onto special account, with the right to payments only in cases associated with occurrence of negative consequences for the financial status of a fund, determined by the legal precedent of a court ruling.
