Abstract: The object of the study is such a concept as "landscaping", as well as its constituent elements at different stages of the development of the Russian state. In each of the periods of Russian history, the legislator determined in his own way what landscaping is, what measures to create a comfortable space for people's lives should be fixed in existing regulations, which bodies and organizations should be given powers of control and supervision in the sphere of public life in question, what specific powers (their nature and scope), as well as which sanctions for violations of the established requirements will be most commensurate with what has been done. In this regard, the interpretation of the concept of "landscaping", the selection of a definition that would be universal for all periods of the development of Russian statehood, is a controversial issue in modern science. Both general scientific and private scientific research methods were used in the preparation of the work. Thus, among the general scientific methods, analysis and synthesis were most widely used. Among the private scientific methods, the historical method is of key importance, since the subject of the study involves the study of different periods of the history of the Russian state, as well as the analysis of historical documents of the corresponding eras. In the course of the study, based on legislative acts of different eras, the constituent elements of the concept of "landscaping" inherent in a particular time are determined and a conclusion is formulated about the direct continuity of the development of this concept. As a result of the research, the author comes to the conclusion that in the early stages of the development of the Russian state, the era of Peter the Great is the most significant in the context of the development of landscaping as an object of administrative and legal protection. It was during this period that the elements of landscaping were isolated and legislatively fixed, as an activity that is provided by the state, administrative responsibility for many violations of the requirements for external landscaping of Russian cities was introduced for the first time, and the main vectors of further development in this area were laid and determined.

Abstract: This study is performed at the intersection of document science, archive science, information law and some related sciences. It describes the phenomenon of a phonodocument in the global communications space from the position of analysis of its evolution, current condition and directions of transformations. The research subject is the content, typology, service functions, legal peculiarities of internal phonodocuments functioning as sources of recorder information of various types. The purpose of the study is to specify internal phonodocuments as a specific sector of service means within the development of an integral concept of genesis and functioning of phonodocuments, and to specify the classification of information audio-sources of this type. The research methodology is based on the metatheory of social communication (noocommunicology). It helps consider the processes of creation, production, distribution, use and storage of an internal phonodocument as a system. The author uses the methods of comparative analysis, scientific prognostication, terminological analysis and archive science. Based on the interdisciplinary synthesis of socio-communication, system-functional, synergetic, sociocultural, historical-typological approaches, the author outlines the specificities of internal phonodocuments compared with other types of audio sources. The author presents the phonodocumental communication concept as disconnected elements, which had been brought together and integrated into the balanced system. The typology of phonodocuments is based on new features – types of sound carriers, peculiarities of recorder audio content and specificity of service functions. The author broadens the field of study by means of in-depth systematization of the bulk of non-musical phonodocuments. The author distinguishes internal phonodocuments as a specific cluster of communications space. For the first time in scientific literature, the author studies the essence and the purpose of phonodocuments of this type, formulates the key patterns of formation and principles of classification of internal phonodocuments. The author describes advantages and disadvantages of revision of consumer forms of internal phonodocuments, proposes the directions of improvement of legislative support of legal regime of internal phonodocuments with restricted access.

Abstract: The research subject includes legal and organizational problems of administrative regulation of the activities of licensing authorities. The author analyzes the basic statutory instruments in the sphere of licensing, and some problems of their application. The author detects the problems of licensing supervision, including the absence of a precise list of compulsory licensing requirements, and the application of the regulations, adopted in the USSR and the RSFSR as licensing requirements. Besides, the author analyzes the statistical data of licensing authorities about court-ordered revocation of licenses in 2016. The research methodology is based on the modern achievements in epistemology. The author applies general scientific methods (system method, analysis synthesis, analogy, observation, modeling, and comparison), which help distinguish the main development trends and patterns of the subject under study. The scientific novelty consists in the substantiation of the necessity to vest licensing authorities with the powers to revoke the issued licenses according to the administrative procedure in the situations, specified in the Federal Law No 99 “On particular forms of activity licensing” of 4 May, 2011, and the reasonability of working out the draft federal law on permitting activities

Abstract: The article considers the peculiarities of the formation of the image of V.I. Surikov as a brand figure of Krasnoyarsk. For Krasnoyarsk dwellers, the name of V.I. Surikov is the symbol of recognition, creative success and Siberian uniqueness. Owing to the creative work of the great painter, a sort of a “Surikov’s cultural nest” has formed in Krasnoyarsk. Surikov played a significant role in the formation of cultural (aesthetic) views of the local community. In the first third of the twentieth century, the signs and symbols of the hero of the place had been forming within the memorial Surikov’s tradition. The research methodology includes the popular territorial branding algorithm, aimed at the creation of sustainable positive associations, connected with the hero of the Place. The authors of the study formulate the thesis that Krasnoyarsk easily fits in the geo-cultural branding of Russia and the world. The article demonstrates, how, via the project activity of the Museum-estate of Surikov and Krasnoyarsk Art Museum, the specific regional identity, connected with the image of Surikov, is being formed.
