The author applies the method of comparative analysis and empirical and analytical materials provided by the officials of the Federal Migration Service of the Russian Federation. The author concludes that it is not important whether the premises are living or not according to the legislation; the only important is the fact that they had been used for living. If the examination shows that the premises had been used for living, e.g. reveals resting places, places for cooking or meal, then the allocation of such an accommodation will be considered as a ground for sanctions imposition.

Abstract: The article focuses on the results of adjudication of administrative-legal controversies between the sides, one of which is a public authority, in the sphere of veterinary medicine. The presence or the absence of case authority in Russia is a disputable moment. Formally, Russian law is not a case law, but practically, when deciding on a case, courts follow the judicial practice. The part of administrative justice in the regulation of processes of public administration is rather large. It’s hard to overestimate the role of case authority in the sphere of veterinary medicine. The author uses such general scientific methods as dialectics, historical method, analysis, synthesis, deduction and induction and such special scientific methods as historical-legal, comparative-legal, system-structural, along with the systems analysis of the phenomena under consideration, the method of analysis of normative-legal base, judicial practice and foreign experience. The author concludes that Russian legislation in the sphere of veterinary medicine is characterized by gaps and defects of formulations, serving as a ground for appeals against the actions of public authorities. The author demonstrates how judicial acts affect the formation of law enforcement practice in the sphere of public administration of veterinary medicine. Generally, the article reflects the positive judicial practice. The negative moment is that courts’ actions are used for the compensation of gaps in the legislation and inefficient work of legislative and executive authorities.

Abstract: The author of the study pays special attention to the fact that the globalization of economic processes and legal interests and the necessity to struggle against criminality in almost all countries lead to the need for a unified interpretation of basic legal terms. The term “fraud” is used in administrative and criminal laws of different states and in international acts, and the problem is that it is interpreted in different ways. Changes in the Russian legislation have also seriously reformed the concept of fraud, causing a large number of scientific discussions. The author emphasizes the theoretical and practical importance of understanding of fraud as a corruption crime. The methodology of the research is composed of a set of general scientific and special methods of cognition on the base of principles of scientific objectivity, systemacy and historicism. The choice of research methods is determined by the object, the subject, the aims and tasks of the research. Such an approach allows the author to reveal the development patterns of international and Russian legislation. The proposed work is the analytical research of international acts on fraud and their comparative analysis. The author comes to the following conclusions: fraud has become one of the most widespread and latent crimes all over the world; in international conventions fraud covers a wide range of fraudulent deeds; fraud is rated among grave crimes which have become a growing international problem requiring the use of modern and effective methods on an international scale. It is worth noticing the understanding of fraud as a corruption crime.

Abstract: The subject of the article is the process of formation of a set of indicators reflecting dynamics and character of corruption offences in the system of public and municipal service. The author analyzes the existing approaches to the assessment of corruption level taking into account the international and Russian practice. The main attention is paid to the classification of indicators based on corruption crimes revealed by corruption prevention units of public and local authorities. These offences rate among disciplinary delinquencies, and the proposed indicators reflect the level of anticorruption discipline in public and local authorities. The author applies general philosophical methods (the systems method, analysis, synthesis, analogy), traditional legal methods (formal-logical) and statistical methods. The author concludes that it is necessary to connect corruption indicators with the formation of anticorruption policy and efficiency assessment of anticorruption measures, which corresponds with the methodology developed by the Audit Chamber of the Russian Federation. The novelty of the research lies in the development of suggestions about the application of corruption indicators for development and (or) correction of targeted anticorruption measures in public or local authorities.
