Abstract: The object of the study is public relations that develop in the process of interaction between the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and the mass media. The subject of the article is the rights and responsibilities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the media sphere, practical aspects of their implementation in the process of administrative activities of the police. The rights granted by the legislator allow the Ministry for the proactive formation of the information agenda. The novelty of the research is expressed in the results and conclusions obtained. For the first time in domestic jurisprudence, a classification of the rights and duties of the police implemented in the media sphere has been developed, and a criterion has been identified that served as the basis for the classification. The current legal instruments and their importance in media communications have been analyzed. Information and business letters, previously overlooked by researchers, have been considered as an institution for forming partnership relations with the media. Evidence has been presented of the need to follow professional ethical standards and the editorial board's interest in observing them. Practical recommendations aimed at forming truly partnership relations with the media have been proposed. A promising topic for further study has been identified, namely, the development of a methodology for responding to negative, untrue aspects of police activity demonstrated in films. The results obtained are intended for use in practical activities by specialists of media relations departments and heads of territorial internal affairs bodies. The implementation of rights and responsibilities allows the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia to act as a full-fledged subject of the media sphere, manage media processes, and solve a wide range of operational and service tasks.

Abstract: The article deals with the problem of the organization and effectiveness of law enforcement agencies in ensuring cyber security of the Russian Federation. Based on the analysis of regulatory legal acts and the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies. Cybercrime is gaining more and more popularity every year, and thus more and more importance is attached to it by law enforcement agencies. Statistics of the GIAC of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia on the state of crime in the Russian Federation for January - October 2022 shows that the number of crimes committed using information technology decreased by 5.6%. However, such statistics only confirm that law enforcement agencies are successfully coping with the performance of a preventive function, preventing and suppressing crimes in the field of information technology.   At the same time, statistics do not indicate that cybercrimes are losing their relevance. They are acquiring a new format, becoming more sophisticated in technical terms, which, of course, requires more competence and professionalism from law enforcement agencies in this area. In 2022, a new department is operating in the structure of the internal affairs bodies – the "Department for the Organization of Combating the Illegal Use of Information and Communication Technologies" as a specialized department in the structure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. The legislator points out as the reasons for the creation of the Department – the growth of computer attacks, remote theft of funds and the active development of the illegal digital industry.

Abstract: The article is devoted to the assessment of the actual possibility of citizens' realization of the constitutional right to access to justice in the conditions of the current model of criminal proceedings in the Russian Federation. The author investigates the problems of the application of certain provisions of the criminal procedure legislation of the Russian Federation defining the reasons, grounds and timing of the initiation of a criminal case, combined into the stage of initiation of a criminal case (Chapters 19-20 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation). The question of the need to reform domestic legislation in this part in order to increase the effectiveness of the criminal procedural function of the state is being investigated. The study is based on the perspective of topical issues of initiating criminal cases for crimes under the jurisdiction of the FSSP of the Russian Federation, including those provided for in Article 177 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, taking into account official statistics for 2020 and judicial practice on citizens' complaints. The relevance is based on disappointing data on the execution of judicial acts in the Russian Federation. In particular, attention is drawn to the presence in 2020 of more than 110.5 million enforcement proceedings in the FSSP of the Russian Federation, the generalized level of enforcement for which amounted to no more than 50%, totaling 696 billion rubles, which is a serious threat to economic stability and requires timely response. The relevant data are considered as a consequence of the existing barrier at the stage of initiation of criminal proceedings in the implementation of criminal legislation, including determining responsibility for crimes against the authorities, malicious non-execution of judicial acts, which is also confirmed by unjustified indicators of the initiation of criminal cases under Articles 177, 311, 312, 315 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. In order to ensure the implementation of the criminal procedural function of the state, a comprehensive reform of this stage is proposed by transforming it into the institution of the beginning of criminal proceedings, which will restore the preventive function of the norms of the criminal legislation of the Russian Federation and ensure the effective operation of state authorities.

Abstract: The dominance in modern disciplinary practice of ATS of negative authorization (penalties and punishments) destroys the balance of positive and negative incentives, reduces the prestige of service, and demotivates employees. The current regulation (including order No. 50 of 2018) makes it possible to rectify the situation by actively applying a set of incentives aimed at creating favorable conditions for activating the activities of ATS officers. At the same time, the current regulation is not perfect. The article proposes corrective amendments. The author proceeds from the fact that the promotion is significantly more effective than punishment, as it stimulates positive emotions, strengthens self-confidence, confirms professionalism, human and business qualities, builds self-esteem, strengthens discipline and responsibility, and also increases authority and social status of an employee of internal affairs bodies.

Abstract: The article studies the issues of reception of the elements of law enforcement models of foreign states into Russia’s legal space. The research subject is the national law enforcement models of federations. The purpose of the research is the detection of the correlation between regional factors and particular national law enforcement models. The authors hypothesize that a national law enforcement model of any state directly depends on the range of regional factors, formed in the context of internal peculiarities (ethnocultural, religious, socio-economic, etc.) and external threats (trans-border crime, geopolitical interests, international terrorism, ets.). The research methodology is based on general philosophical and theoretical methods (dialectics, the system method, analysis, synthesis, analogy, deduction, observation and modeling) and special research methods: the comparative-legal, system, culturological, historical, etc. The scientific novelty of the research consists in the original approach to the understanding of the problem of search for the ideal law enforcement model for the Russian state with the help of the analysis of the roots of national peculiarities of the law enforcement function modeling as the objective grounds of differences in traditional systems of means, methods and ways of protection of law and order in a state. The authors consider the national law enforcement models of the USA, England, Germany, Japan, Singapore and the countries of the Islamic law, and analyze the attempt to create a universal law enforcement model within international law. The authors formulate the conclusions, containing generalizations, including the theses about the historical nature of the particular national law enforcement models, their objective dependence on the particular mental, historical, geopolitical, criminogenic, political and other conditions, and the related limitedness of legal receptions from other national law enforcement systems and their integration into Russia’s legal space.
