Abstract: The study of the place of aviation security in the structure of transport security is conditioned by theoretical and practical needs in determining the need to preserve or exclude the existing dual legal regulation of legal relations by the norms of Russian air legislation and legislation in the field of transport security. Currently, the legal norms regulating: the definition of organizations authorized to protect air transport; the definition of requirements for the protection of air transport, including inspection measures; certification and training of specialists (personnel) directly performing functions in the field of aviation security are duplicated. Based on the comparison of concepts, content and principles of transport and aviation security, the general and special features in their legal regulation as a whole and private are revealed. The purpose of the study was an attempt to define the concept of development of Russian legislation in the field of aviation security from acts of unlawful interference, taking into account the draft law "On Amendments to the Federal Law "On Transport Security" and Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation" developed by the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation.    The analysis made it possible to draw conclusions that the draft law proposed by the Ministry of Transport of Russia radically changes the state approach to regulating legal relations in the field of aviation security. It seems necessary to conduct additional discussions and assess the regulatory impact of the proposed draft law on the possibility of developing the Russian aviation business in the conditions of abandonment of the federal aviation security system. Based on the analysis, the author's concepts of "aviation security" and "act of unlawful interference" are proposed, the necessity of making appropriate amendments to Article 83 of the Air Code of the Russian Federation is substantiated. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that an industry approach is proposed in the public administration of the legal relations under consideration, taking into account the specifics of air transport and a significant amount of international law on the protection of aviation.

Abstract: The relevance of this study is due to theoretical and practical needs in establishing consistency of goals, objectives and a set of measures to ensure transport security as one of the components of the national security of Russia. The purpose of the study was an attempt to identify priority areas for the development of public administration and Russian legislation in the field of transport security on the basis of strategic planning mechanisms. Research objectives: to analyze strategic planning documents for the period from the adoption of the law on Transport security to the present (2008-2021); to determine the interconnectedness of strategic and sectoral goals and priorities for ensuring transport security contained in various legal sources; to develop proposals to clarify the provisions of strategic and program documents in the field of security and the transport industry. The analysis made it possible to draw conclusions that the priority direction of the development of public administration and Russian legislation in the field of transport security until 2024 is to increase the level of anti-terrorist protection of transport infrastructure facilities and vehicles through the introduction and use of space and information technologies, as well as through the creation of intelligent transport systems that ensure the transport connectivity of the country. The author proposes the development of a transport security strategy of the Russian Federation, the adjustment of a comprehensive transport security program and a schedule of activities of the Ministry of Transport of Russia for the implementation of strategic planning documents until 2024. The novelty of the study is determined by the formulation of the problem and lies in the fact that it is a comprehensive analysis of strategic planning documents adopted at the federal level and aimed at solving tasks to ensure the national security of the country.

Abstract: In view of the fact that transport continues to be appealing for committing unlawful acts, including terrorist attacks, the improvement of the forms and methods of managing transport sector remains a relevant topic of scientific research. The genesis of the Russian administrative-legal mechanism for ensuring transport security has its own peculiarities associated with the origin and development of state administration in the sphere of security, as well as in transport sector. Examination of the key trends and objective patterns of this process would allow modifying the existing legal regulation on the questions of security of the transport sector, taking into account the available experience, as well as historical trial and error. The article aims to determine the place of transport security within the structure of national security of the country. Comparison is conducted on the national security and transport security, as well as on the common and specific in state administration and legal regulation. The conclusion is made that the transport security is an integral part of national security of the country; therefore, the goals set by the government with regards to transport security contribute to comprehensive achievement of the goals of national security. Despite the exclusive competence of the Russian Federation in the sphere of security, there is practical legal regulation of certain issues of ensuring security, including transport, on the regional level. Special attention is given to the differences in normative legal regulation of national and transport security. The author introduces the original definition of the concept of “legislation of the Russian Federation in the sphere of transport security”, and substantiates the need for making amendments to the Federal Law “On Transport Security”. The scientific novelty is determined by articulation of the problem and consists carrying out special analysis of the legal regulation of relations in the sphere of ensuring national and transport security.
