Abstract: The subject of the study was the legal norms contained both in Article 2.9 and in other norms of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation, which empower a law enforcement officer, when considering a case of an administrative offense in the field of traffic, to release a person from administrative responsibility if the administrative offense is insignificant.The object of the study was the administrative legal relations that arise when a law enforcement officer implements the legal institution of releasing a person from administrative responsibility if an administrative offense is insignificant. The authors analyzed the positions of scientists who have studied this legal institution at various times. Special attention is paid to the decisions of the highest judicial authorities and judicial practice in this area by district and regional courts. The article proposes criteria for determining an administrative offense as a gross one, and substantiates the position that a gross administrative offense cannot be recognized as insignificant under any circumstances. The methodological basis of the research was the dialectical method of cognition, the fundamental principles of the scientific worldview. In the course of the study, methods of historical, comparative legal, concrete sociological, and statistical analysis were used. When preparing a scientific article, the authors of the article conducted a survey of traffic police officers. As a result of the conducted research, the following conclusions were formulated: 1. The range of public relations in the field of public administration protected by legislation on administrative offenses is so wide that it makes it impossible to establish specific criteria for recognizing an administrative offense as insignificant. 2. In order to fill this gap, the higher judicial authorities establish specific compositions of administrative offenses that cannot be recognized as insignificant. 4. It is necessary to introduce the concept of "gross administrative offense" in the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, which should be understood as "administrative offenses, the repeated commission of which entails criminal liability." 5. Article 2.9 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation should be supplemented with the second part, which will contain the following legal norm: "Persons who have committed such administrative offenses, for which the repetition of their commission entails criminal liability, cannot be released from administrative responsibility in connection with the recognition of an act as insignificant."

Abstract: The research focuses on methods of calculating administrative fines, which could be considered as an alternative to the existing ones. The aim of the work is to propose such methods, as well as to identify prospects and ways of their development. The study examines the problem of the appropriateness of calculating administrative fines in hard money, which is particularly relevant in the context of insufficient effectiveness of this type of administrative punishment. The authors analyze changes in the domestic legislation on administrative offences, and also refer to the comparative legal method, comparing the methods of calculating fines in the Russian Federation and in other states: Belarus, Kazakhstan, Finland. The authors conclude that significant money fines are not sufficiently effective. The novelty of the study lies in the proposal of alternative methods for calculating the administrative fine: the determination of the amount of the monetary penalty in relation to the minimum wage, the base value or the calculation indicator, the income of the offender. Special attention is paid to the consideration of alternative ways of calculating administrative fines for traffic offences: The establishment of a relationship between administrative penalties and the cost of the vehicle or the capacity of its engine and the introduction of a penalty point system are proposed. The results of the study can be used to improve the legislation of the Russian Federation on administrative offences.

Abstract: The aim of this research is to analyze existing laws and regulations applicable as the means of regulation of the contract system as well as experience in bringing customers to administrative responsibility for violations in the sphere of state and municipal procurement as well as development of recommendations on how to implement the aforesaid mechanism and to improve it. The object of the research is not only administrative responsiblity for committed violations in the sphere of procurement but the entire contract system as an organic whole where administrative responsibility is just one of the sides. To avoid incorrect interpretation of the law and administrative sanctions the research implies the use of such instruments as deduction, i.e. from theoretical provisions and practice in the sphere of procurement in general to particular terms of administrative responsibility. As a result of the research, the author discovers that the current legal basis that regulates the process of bringing to responsibility for violations in the sphere of state and municipal procurement is far from being perfect and quite often does not take into account the causes of such violations.

Abstract: The researcher describes the nature of state defence order that is performed for the purposes of national defence and security. Article 14.55 of the Administrative Offenses Code of the Russian Federation establishes the legal and adminitrative protection of state defence order. The researcher describes four kinds of administrative breach of state defence contract terms or terms of the contract that has been concluded for the purpose of performance of state defence order as well as relevant administrative sanctions. The researcher also analyzes legal precedents of applying Article 14.55 of the Administrative Offences Code of the Russian Federation. The methodological basis of the research includes the following methods: general research methods, multiple survey, systems analysis, and formal law method. The main conclusions of the research are the following: 1. In the Russian Federation, the shift from centralised methods of state mangement to decentralised contract-based market methods creates a number of new risks caused by improper performance of state defence order obligations. This circumstance creates the need to impose administrative responsibility for the breach of the state defence order terms or the terms of the contract that has been concluded for the purpose of performance of state defence order. 2. There have been many precedents of bringing to responsibility based on Article 14.55 of the Administrative Offences Code of the Russian Federation. 3. The need in administrative protection of state defence order is explained by the need in national defence and security.

Abstract: The research subject is the range of norms of housing law, contained in the Administrative Offences Code of the Russian Federation, aimed at the protection of citizens’ rights against bureaucratic arbitrariness in the sphere of the social constitutional right to housing. The author states that the current compositions of administrative offences on the federal level don’t guarantee proper protection of the realization of the social constitutional right to housing. This fact speaks for the insufficiency of housing law with regard to the necessary administrative sanctions. However, the provisions of the Administrative Offences Code, containing the description of the compositions of administrative offences in the sphere of housing law, are disorganized and chaotic. The author formulates scientific conclusions based on the collection, generalization and analysis of judicial decisions of the courts of different levels and the materials of prosecutor’s practice contained in the reports, newsletters and information letters of the prosecutors of the Russian Federation and other levels for 2005 – 2016. The author also uses the comparative-legal method to analyze the provisions of administrative and housing law. In order to eliminate the legislative gaps in housing law, it is necessary to formalize the right to improved housing and the registration of those needing housing, thus guaranteeing citizens’ constitutional rights to housing. The administrative offences compositions system in the sphere of the right to housing, contained in the Administrative Offences Code of the Russian Federation, should be structured in accordance with the general fundamentals of law and constitutional law.

Along with the functions, traditional for administrative punishments, which are the punitive and the preventive ones, the authors give special attention to the regulative and the reconstructive functions. The authors note the close connection between the goals and functions of administrative punishments and the tasks of the legislation on administrative offences, and study the peculiarities of realization of each of the functions of administrative punishment. Within particular functions, the authors outline sub-functions, which reflect particular aspects of realization of the particular function. The authors apply functional and teleological methods, and comparative-legal and formal-legal methods. The basic research method is the dialectical method. Some conclusions and provisions are based on the methods of deduction and induction, analysis and synthesis, and the philosophical principle of transition from quantity to quality and the unity and struggle of opposites. The authors come to the following conclusions: Administrative punishments have the following goals: regulation of social relations; punishing an administrative offender; prevention of administrative offences and crimes; restoration of social relations; correction of the offender. The authors formulate the new version of the article 1.2 of the Administrative Offences Code “Tasks of the legislation of the Russian Federation on administrative offences”: The tasks of the legislation on administrative offences include: protection of a personality, and human and civil rights and freedoms; protection of citizens’ health and sanitary and epidemiological welfare of the population; protection of public morality, environment, the established public order and public safety and property; protection of legal economic interests of persons and legal entities, the society and the state against administrative offences, and prevention of administrative offences”. Functions of administrative punishment are the directions of its impact on social relations and legal consciousness of subjects, which reveal its social purpose and achieve its goals. A regulative function of administrative punishment is the direction of administrative impact, which consists in ordering behavior of the subjects of administrative responsibility both prior to and after the administrative offence, and the use of measures of administrative punishment by authorized bodies. A preventive function of administrative punishment is a direction of legal impact, which consists in the prevention of an administrative offence or a crime described in the Criminal Code. A reconstructive function of administrative punishment is legal impact on the breached social relations for the purpose of their ordering, reconstruction, and restoration of social justice and order. A punitive function is the imposition of personal, property, organizational, psychological or other restrictions on the offender.

Abstract: The article considers the topical aspects of a provider’s responsibility for copyright infringement on the Internet. The authors study the particular gaps and inconsistences in the legal regulation of this sphere.

The research methodology is based on the traditional principles and methods of jurisprudence: dialectics, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, etc. The authors conclude that the constant resource locking, prescribed by the Federal Law of 2 July 2013 No 187 “On amending particular statutory instruments of the Russian Federation on the issues of copyright protection in information and telecommunication networks”, contradicts the basic principles of civil law. It is particularly important in the context of the absence of real mechanisms of interlock bypass prevention.

Abstract: The subject of the research is the range of norms of administrative law which regulate the punitive, regulative, preventive and other spheres of action of administrative responsibility. The object of the research is the range of social relations in the sphere of administrative-legal regulation. The author substantiates the punitive, preventive, restorative and educational functions of administrative responsibility. He studies the structure of functions of legal responsibility in terms of its broad understanding, including the positive and negative aspects of realization. The paper notes the shortcomings of the Code of Administrative Offences and offers recommendations aimed at the enhancement of the existing legislation. The author uses the dialectical method, the comparative-legal method, the formal-legal method and the structural-functional analysis. The author comes to the following conclusions: 1. The Code of Administrative Offences if characterized by the “continuity” of the shortcomings of the expired Code of Administrative Offences of the RSFSR.  It contains the doubling of compositions of tax offences and at the same time not all administrative offences have been included in the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation; the Code provides the following forms of administrative punishment: warning, administrative fine, confiscation of a crime instrument or a subject of administrative offence, deprivation of a special right, administrative arrest. Administrative banishment from the Russian Federation and onerous confiscation of a crime instrument in their legal nature are not the measures of administrative punishment. They are the measures of protection. Additional measures of protection are banishment from the Russian Federation, onerous confiscation of a crime instrument, applied simultaneously with the measures of administrative punishment, are aimed at strengthening of restorative effect of administrative responsibility if ordinary measures are not enough. 2. Liquidation of a legal person, suspension of a license, nullification of a license, prohibition of certain forms of activity are effective ways of private prevention of administrative offences since they exclude the subject from a definite sphere of social relations and deprive it of an actual and legal opportunity to commit a similar offence, but they should be contained in a single systematized normative-legal act – the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation, the more so because the legislator has chosen this way of administrative responsibility imposition. 3. Administrative disqualification, deprivation of a special right, suspension of a license, annulation of a license, confiscation of a crime instrument exclude an actual or legal opportunity to commit an administrative offence in definite spheres of social relations and thus further their normalization and restoration; the prevalence of fines in administrative sanctions indicates that the state considers a fine not only as the means of punishment and prevention but also as the means of budget replenishment and compensation of losses incurred by the state in the result of the committed crime. Each administrative offence damages not only the aggrieved party but the state in whole, and the fine is one of the ways of compensation of the damage.

Abstract: The article is devoted to the grounds of administrative responsibility and describes peculiarities and features of administrative offence. The authors of the article conclude that the  definition of administrative offece as it is provided by the Administrative Offences Code of the Russian Federation should also inclue social security as a feature. The authors outline general features typical for all administrative offences and distinguishing administrative offences from legal behavior and other violations of law. It is noted that a classical definition of guilt cannot apply to a legal entity. It is said that a socially dangeous act prohibited by the law is recognized as an administrative offence only if commitment of such an act implies administrative responsibility. The authors also consider the difference between administrative offences from other violations of law according to legal features: the main material feature, illegal nature of the act and penalties for law violator. It is stressed out that administrative offence means violation of rules of general effect (violation of discipline).  The authors also describe the difference between civil law delicts and adminitrative offences and offer a clear definition of administrative offence.

Abstract: The article outlines the problem of efficiency of administrative law sanctions in the sphere of traffic safety. The Administrative Offence Code of the Russian Federation does not provide for the opportunity of an official who reviews the case of administrative offence of the Traffic Code to take into account negative consequences of such offence. At the present time circumstances under which the offence was committed and/or the amount or nature of the damage are only stated as facts but do not influence the degree of punishment or sanction. In order to realize the principles of justice, proportionality and personalization of responsibility, Section 12 of the Administrative Offence Code of the Russian Federation must contain a definite description of sanctions for violating the Traffic Code and material damage must be regarded as a circumstance aggravating administrative responsibility.
