Abstract: The study of the problems of the implementation of public control practices involves the formation of new challenges and approaches that meet the requirements of modern political time. The operationalization of many components related to the analysis of the infrastructure of public control – its object and subject institutions, mutual capabilities, authorities, areas of responsibility, interaction areas, and components related to the evaluation of control results – is the key challenge for the modern researcher. The subject of this article is the construction of a model for assessing the efficiency of the subject of public control in the modern Russian Federation. As a methodology for the development of a model for assessing the efficiency of public control, the method of construct interpretation is used. This is manifested in the use of the methodology for assessing the efficiency of the activity of a particular research object (in the context of the subject matter – the subject of social control) from economic theory and management theory, where the approach towards evaluation of efficiency through the ratio of the result to the resources is traditionally used as a basis. As a key methodology for analyzing the activities of subjects of public control and their respective ranking, comparative analysis is used. The use of the proposed model will allow operationalizing the infrastructure of public control to assess the efficiency of the control subject, and draw conclusions about the components in which, based on the relevant measurements, it is worthwhile to make regulatory modernization or reorganization in the activity of the subject of public control at all levels of its work in the processes of institutionalization of public control in the modern Russian Federation.

Abstract: This article examines the legal status of civil partners and/or their responsibilities in external and internal legal relations. A comparative analysis of such legal phenomena as “plurality of persons” and “plurality of parties”, “group of co-owners”, and “legal entity” is conducted. The author analyzes the question of affiliation of the common law and/or joint responsibility in civil legal relations with plurality of persons, as well as peculiarities of legal status of co-owner at the stage of realization of the common law/execution of joint responsibility, and at the stage of its protection. An original definition is given to the concept of “co-owner of civil rights and/or responsibilities”. The author comes to the conclusion that in legal relations with third parties at the stage of exercising joint right/execution of joint responsibilities, co-owners act as a single subject, group, or collective. The author substantiates the need to single out the group of co-owners as a separate subject of civil rights and responsibilities.

Abstract: The subject of this research is the sanctions of norms of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (CCRF) on crimes in the area of entrepreneurship. The author conducts a detailed analysis of the aforementioned sanctions from the perspective of criminal punishments used in their structuring, as well as evaluates the level of alternativeness of such sanctions and justification of application of the cumulative construct of sanctions by a legislator. The author also examines the limits of the sanctions, and calculates the medians of punishment in form of penalty and incarceration. In addition, the article compares the size of penalty and prison sentences stipulated by sanctions of norms of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation on crimes in the area of entrepreneurial activity for the purpose of establishing the presence (or absence) of correlations between them. The author comes to a conclusion that there is no uniform scientific approach towards the structuring of sanctions of norms of the CCRF on crimes in the area of entrepreneurial activity, which manifests in a number of major flaws of the sanctions: 1) insufficient fluency in escalation of repression of a punishment within the alternative sanctions; 2) illogical and inefficient implementation of a cumulative construct of sanctions by a legislator; 3) excessive range of the limits of crimes within the sanction, which unreasonably expands the frames of judicial discretion and affects the infliction of just punishment. Thus, it necessitates the establishment of a solid scientific foundation for structuring the sanctions of norms pertaining to crime in the area of entrepreneurship.

Abstract: The subject of this research is the legal regulation of execution of court decisions throughout the history of Russian law. The object of this research is the social relations established in realization of tasks in the process of executing judicial decisions in the Russian State in various historical periods. The author analyzes the formation and development of the Russian legislation, as well as peculiarities of legal regulation of execution of judicial decisions. Considering the significant changes in legal regulation of executing judicial decisions in different historical periods, associated with the adoption of fundamental legal amendments and reforms in the field of public relations, the author determines the stages of establishment and evolution of the legal regulation of executing judicial decisions. The original periodization of the establishment and development of legal regulation of executing judicial decisions is proposed in the article. The author believes that it is inappropriate to talk about the establishment and development of legal regulation of executing judicial decisions peculiarly in terms of coercion, because the voluntariness of executing judgments existed at all stages of legal regulation decision-making, but beginning in 1864, the procedure of voluntary execution of judicial decisions has received a detailed regulatory consolidation. The scientific consists in the fact that based in the fact that based on the analysis of a number of legal monuments and existing sources, the article provides a fairly complete picture of historical evolution of the procedures related to execution of judicial decisions in the Russian law.
