Abstract: Using historical and legal analysis, the authors analyze sources and documents to study formation and development of legal regulation of Russia’s national security before revolution. The authors determine the key periods of formation and development of legal regulation of national security, demonstrate distinctive features and peculiarities of each of them. While studying the development of legal regulation of national security, the authors detect correlation between the result of formalization of the elements of national security provision and the recognition and systematization of national security threats by the state at a certain stage of its development. The authors use the set of genera scientific methods and techniques of logical cognition: analysis (including the historical-legal) and synthesis, abstraction, modeling, the system-structural, functional and formal-logical approaches. This study has both theoretical-conceptual and historical-legal nature. It is a complex interdisciplinary study aimed at establishing common approaches to the understanding of evolution of legal regulation of national security in general and the mechanisms of its provision in the Russian state during the pre-revolutionary period. The results of this study can be used for the solution of issues of legal coverage of national security in contemporary Russia. 

Abstract: The paper analyzes the main provisions of modern conceptions of national security of foreign states. The authors consider the reasons for their adoption, the approaches to the interpretation of national interests, the threats to national interests and the system of measures and methods of national security protection in different countries. Special attention is given to the role of Russia in the international legal space in the context of the national security conceptions of the USA and some other foreign states. The authors ascertain and systematize the peculiarities of foreign approaches to national security protection. The research is based on various general scientific methods of cognition: analysis and synthesis, abstraction, modeling, the system structural, functional and formal-logical approaches. The article can have both a theoretical and a branch application; it is an interdisciplinary study which is aimed at the establishment of conceptual approaches to understanding of national security and the mechanisms of its protection in different countries. The authors carry out the comparative analysis of the experience of strategic legal regulation of national security issues in foreign states, which is necessary in the context of new global challenges. 

Abstract: This article examines general theoretical and industry approaches towards classification of legal regimes, as well as such grounds for their type differentiation as subject of legal regulation; legal nature; type of legal regulation; correlation of stimuli and restrictions; subject of lawmaking; field and time of operation. The diversity of grounds for classification of legal regimes exists in both, the general theoretical and industry planes, which is substantiated by the subject and method of legal regulation and the differences of tasks set before the legal regimes, and the means of executing them. These grounds for classification of legal regimes allow us to synthesize their essential characteristics, clearly demonstrate their organic interconnection with public relations, and socio-political and legal significance. In the practical sense, identifying these classification characteristics aids in developing more substantiated proposals on improving legislation during its codification, removing ambiguity, collisions, gaps, and many other flaws inherent in the current legal system.
