Abstract: The implementation of the administrative reform of the control and supervisory sphere in the Russian Federation has caused serious transformations in the activities of authorities implementing the functions of state control (supervision). The adoption of Federal Law No. 248-FZ dated 07/31/2020 "On State Control (Supervision) and Municipal Control in the Russian Federation" strongly influenced both external and internal aspects of administrative procedures implemented by executive authorities in the course of their exercise of state control (supervision) functions, which requires serious scientific analysis. One of the main applied scientific methods of cognition and description of legal reality is the classification of the studied objects. Within the framework of this article, the author studies the system of administrative control and supervisory procedures, identifies their various types and classifies them.To conduct the research, the classification method was used primarily as one of the main methods of scientific knowledge of law, as well as legal methods proper, including the formal legal method. As a result of the study, the main major characteristics of administrative control and supervisory procedures were analyzed (reconfiguration of types of state control and supervision, scaling of the control and supervisory sphere, establishment of new forms of control (supervisory) measures), the main scientific views on the classification of administrative control and supervisory procedures were considered. As a result, the grounds for classifying the procedures under consideration were formulated, including the form of the control (supervisory) event, the supervisory authority involved in the procedure and the area of state control (supervision). There are several types of administrative control and supervisory procedures, including standard and special procedures, monosubject and polysubject procedures, as well as a variety of procedures depending on the sphere of public relations, in which mandatory requirements are established, the verification of compliance with which is carried out within the framework of state control (control procedures in the field of communications, transport, etc.).

Abstract: The subject of the study is the issues of codification of administrative procedural and administrative tort legislation. The complex issue of its codification requires a thorough analysis of a number of fundamental theses for further argumentation of the author's position regarding the improvement of the institutional foundations of codification both from the standpoint of scientific and methodological development and practical implementation. The need to codify administrative proceedings is due to the fact that the reform of the administrative procedure will be incomplete without improving the CAS of the Russian Federation in terms of including the provisions of the APC of the Russian Federation and the procedure for considering cases of administrative offenses and strengthening judicial control over the actions of administrative jurisdiction bodies by reforming the procedural mechanism for considering cases of administrative offenses by courts of general jurisdiction (option arbitration courts according to the rules of the RF PACS). The goals are achieved using the methods of historical, systematization, synthesis, and special legal methods. The scientific idea of the formation of the procedural form of administration is argued, the scientific idea of the formation of the procedural form of administrative legislation is documented, which means only the judicial procedure for the consideration of cases, including administrative proceedings and proceedings in cases of administrative offenses. Practical recommendations are formulated on reforming the legislative and organizational foundations in the field under study and the adoption of a basic law on the procedure for the implementation of administrative proceedings when considering and resolving administrative cases by courts on the protection of violated or disputed rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of citizens and organizations, as well as other administrative cases related to the exercise of judicial control over the legality and validity of public powers, namely, the Administrative Procedural Code of the Russian Federation (as a variant of the Procedural Administrative Code of the Russian Federation - PAK RF). An invitation to the discussion is published.

Abstract: The object of the study is the general purpose and function, as well as the tasks of the proceedings in cases of administrative offenses. The interdependence and relativity of the concepts of "purpose" and "task" of proceedings in cases of administrative offenses cause difficulties in establishing their distinctive features and mutual differentiation, and therefore the issue of defining these categories in the science of administrative law is currently debatable. For this reason, the works of prominent Russian jurists such as D. N. Bakhrah, V. V. Dorokhin, S. D. Mogilevsky, A. Y. Yakimovich, revealing the content and essence of these concepts from different sides, formed the subject of this study. The specificity of the research object was a decisive factor in determining the research methodology. In preparing the article, a set of general scientific and private scientific methods was used, including the method of system analysis, which ensured the validity of the author's judgments, suggestions and recommendations. Within the framework of a systematic analysis, directing the research process from a complex to a simpler manifestation of the object of research, the author, based on the patterns of formation of tree-like hierarchical structures, reveals the content of the above concepts in an original way, defines the general law-restoring nature of production, identifies the law enforcement stages in it, as well as the goals and special tasks of each stage. As a result of the research, the author's version of Article 24.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation is proposed, which establishes a legal definition of the purpose of proceedings in cases of administrative offenses. Proposals for improving the current legislation indicate the applied significance of this study, while some conclusions and theoretical generalizations of the author can be used to conduct further research in this direction.

Abstract: The subject of this research is the principle of reciprocity. This principle is perhaps one of the first principles of international law that remains unchanged up until today. The scientific literature studies the essence of the principle of reciprocity in correlation with one or another institution (legal aid in criminal cases, legal aid in cases of administrative offenses, recognition of foreign bankruptcy, enforcement of the decisions of foreign courts, etc.), as an element of private or public international law. The principle of reciprocity also characterizes the process of interaction between the legal subjects. In the Russian legislation, the principle of reciprocity is implemented for regulation of international cooperation in civil, criminal, and administrative cases. The author’s special contribution consists in determination of certain essential characteristics of the principle of reciprocity and its role within the system of principles of administrative law of the Russian Federation; as well as in examination of the practice of its application. The principle of reciprocity is identified with certain imperative rules or universal behavioral norms. In the international law, the principle of reciprocity correlates with such concepts as “jus cogens” or “peremptory norms”, as well as “comitas gentium”. Among the principles of administrative law of the Russian Federation , it can be attributed to the procedural principles in cases of administrative offenses. The analysis of case law demonstrates that application of the principle of reciprocity expands the opportunities for international cooperation in different spheres, namely in the absence of normative regulation or restrictions thereof.
