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: 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.
