Abstract: This article presents the original approach towards understanding the problem of optimization of the mechanism of ensuring national security in the Russian Federation. The authors demonstrate the main trends in optimization of the mechanism of ensuring national security of the Russian Federation that include the improvement of legislation (elimination of collisions, faults, gaps, etc.) and enactment of new laws, as well as increasing performance of the subjects of this mechanism, including through enhancing coordination and interaction  between the corresponding authorities and entities. The article carries a theoretical-legal conceptual character and represents a comprehensive research aimed at establishment of common patterns of optimization of the mechanism of ensuring national security in accordance with the main vectors of such. The results of this work, reflected in certain legislative novels, can be applied in settling the issues related to legal support of national security of the Russian Federation at the current stage.

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: 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.
