The resources of synergistic approach within the modern theoretical jurisprudence: experience of the research practice of the general legal theory of marginality
// Law and Politics.
2015. ¹ 5.
P. 610-618.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=52412
Abstract:
The subject of this research is the peculiarities, characteristics and stochastic qualities of the borderline legal relations, unadapted and foreign to the values of the normative sphere. The author pays particular attention on the issues of causality of committing legal violations motivated by both, the objective factors (political, economic, cultural, and others), as well as personal-psychological factors, which in their totality determine the negative effect of the legal (juridical) marginality as a self-organizing, open, and dynamic system upon the quality of modern Russian law and order. The article substantiates the conclusion on the reasonableness of the use of synergistic methodological principles and schemes within theoretical jurisprudence, presented within the experience of general legal theory of marginality. On the example of interpretational model of application of synergistic approach the author justifies the hypothesis on the possible implementation of this approach in study of complex legal systemic constructs by the juridical science.

Secession and the meta-language of law
// Law and Politics.
2015. ¹ 5.
P. 651-657.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=52417
Abstract:
Secession represents a phenomenon that has existed throughout the entire history of a national state within the Westphalian system of international relations. Despite the prolonged existence of this phenomenon, its status in the legal field remains undefined. The author strives to demonstrate that secession cannot really be considered a phenomenon that exists within law as conceptually it represents the “end of law”. The research leans on the traditional within the global science analysis of the issue of secession in the context of moral philosophy. The author comes to the conclusion that the positive law represents not only the system of normative rules, but a sort of a meta-language, which defines the boundaries of possible reasoning not only about these rules, but also the relations they regulate. Secession demonstrates a gap that exists between society and the government, and attempts to liquidate this gap. Secession is not the “right” of a nation or separate individuals, rather a form of self-determination, which precedes any right.

P. 673-683.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=52420
Abstract:
This article is dedicated to the social bases of positive legal responsibility, without which building a legal state and forming a civil society is impossible. The author defends the legal nature of positive legal responsibility using the rich social and philosophical material. The author simultaneously conducts a polemic with scientists-sociologists and philosophers, who while devising the general concepts of social responsibility, do not take into consideration the specificity of legal responsibility. The subject of the research also includes various types of social norms, including juridical, which contain positive responsibility. The work presents results of polling. The article gives original definitions to social and legal responsibility, presents the polling data from different categories of citizens and experts (legal scholars) on the issues of positive legal responsibility and its regulatory impact. The author justifies a unified character of legal responsibility, which includes the positive (voluntary) and negative (state mandatory) forms of realization. The statutory (unified) responsibility is the responsibility (requirement) to uphold the legal rules by the parties of legal relations that is objectively justified, and set by the law, which if violated, forces the violator to suffer judgement, limitation of rights of property or personal non-property nature.

Analysis of the practice of amnesty in the Russian Federation in terms of existence or absence of the intent to correct the defects in the application of criminal law
// Law and Politics.
2015. ¹ 5.
P. 684-689.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=52421
Abstract:
This article is dedicated to the amnesty as it is, rather than as it should be according to law or theory. The subject of this research is the aim of the amnesties given by the Supreme Council of the Russian Federation and the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation throughout the existence of the Russian Federation. The purpose of this article is to verify the presumptions that the amnesties given over the period of the existence of the Russian Federation lacked the intent to correct the flaws in implementation of criminal law. The result of this work is the confirmation by our own empirical data of the validity of the proposed presumption on the lack of the intent to correct the flaws in implementation of criminal law in the Russian amnesties. The author’s contribution consists in creation of the research blueprint that can be used to research amnesties given in other periods of time, and in other countries (providing that there are no obstacles for such use due to specificity of a country or the timeframe).

Environmental impact assessment in the “Caspian context”
// Law and Politics.
2015. ¹ 5.
P. 712-721.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=52426
Abstract:
The article examines the issues of legal regulation of the environmental impact assessment (EIA) in the Caspian Sea. The application of this preventative mechanism becomes especially relevant in light of the growing anthropogenic impact upon this region. The article analyzes not only the corresponding international legal treaties, but also the national legislation of the littoral states on this procedure, taking into account the peculiarities of the legal status. A special attention is given to the comparative analysis of the Protocol on the Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context of the Framework Convention on Protection of the Environment of the Caspian Sea, Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context of 1991, and the Guide to Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance in a Transboundary Context of the Caspian Sea region. The author concludes that the enactment of the Protocol on the Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context would be a positive step, while at the same time the effectiveness of realization of its positions would largely depend upon the degree to which the Caspian States can harmonize their national legislation with the EIA.

// Law and Politics.
2015. ¹ 5.
P. 722-728.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=52427
Abstract:
The author conducts a detailed review of the violation of rules of manufacturing and use of the government hallmark amongst crimes of illegal trade of precious metals, natural precious gems and pearls. The article 181 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (CCRF) protects the legal order of hallmark supervision in order to ensure the legal interests of the country and its citizens in the area of trade of jewelry and other objects with precious metals bearing the hallmark. A special attention is given to the fake hallmark and its imprint on jewelry. The law addresses only the acts of forgery of the hallmark as a material object. The author justifies the proposal to exclude the article 181 from the CCRF. The punishment for these acts can be ensured by the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses, which establishes the liability for various actions that differ from crimes by the level of public threat.

// Law and Politics.
2015. ¹ 5.
P. 734-738.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=52429
Abstract:
The subject of this research is presented by the description and analysis of the key conceptual issues pertaining to the regulation of intellectual rights. The author examines the most recent scientific achievements of Russian, as well as foreign authors on the issue of comparison between intellectual rights and property rights. Alongside this problem the article explores the questions of correlation of intellectual rights with the notion of “information”, reasonableness of the codification of intellectual property law within the framework of civil code, and inter-industry connections and the place of intellectual rights within the legal system. The conclusion consists in the presence of a complex of fundamental questions on the bases and limitations of the regulation of intellectual rights, to which there is no unambiguous solution within the modern legal science and doctrine. The author believes that there is a lack of industry approach and there is a need for a complex legal theoretical research using the paradigmatic approach.
