Abstract:
By now it has became obvious that the Russian reform policy, with which much hope was endowed, did not meet our expectations. It was planned to free the state from the “overload” of functions related to management of economical activities of various enterprises, so that the state could, in particular, ensure the due level of social guarantees for the people. In fact, the social sphere is now in the state of crisis. Monetization of benefits and realizations of infamous Federal Law N. 122 on monetization of benefits caused much uproar throughout Russia. What should then be done for the social guarantees to be duly secured? N.M. Dobrynin offers his answers to this questions and reviews a number of related issues in this article.

Abstract:
Discussion on the issues of positive legal responsibility has been going on for several decades by now. Really, it is necessary to study positive legal responsibility, and who but the legal scholars are best suited for the task? At the same time there is quite much terminological confusion, while there is no generally accepted definition of positive legal responsibility. E.g., positive legal responsibility is referred to as active responsibility, perspective responsibility, positive-moderate responsibility, promotional responsibility, some authors identify it with sence of duty or legal responsibility. In D.A. Lipinsky’s article one can find complex analysis of this problem. The author also reviews contradictions in modern theory of law, criticizes positions of a number of Russian legal scholars, such as M.I. Baytin, N.P. Koldaeva.

Variety of forms of government within the multi-tier European structure shows how a state becomes “fractured”, while part of its functions is passed to the European community as a whole, to some specific EU states, whose actions cause consequences for the EU as a whole, and also to some public bodies and NGOs. It also means new forms of management within the multi-level procedure, in particular, with reference to the issue of competence. This article touches upon the constitutional-legal aspects of distribution of responsibility and norm-creating powers in the sphere of government, and also includes a review of existing forms of government.

Improvement of forms and methods of operative investigative activities within a jural state.
// Law and Politics.

P. 83-92.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=49880
Abstract:
The attitudes in the Russian society towards the bodies, which conduct investigative activities, come to two opposite extremes. Some offer to allow such bodies to cross the legal limitations for the sake of fighting terrorism or organized crime, while some call for very guarded attitude to such bodies themselves. Considering that state policy in this sphere is not very well-developed, people have a feeling that operative investigative activities have somewhat “semi-legal” character. Even for the lawyers, existence of a law with just 23 articles, governing a whole sphere of legal relations, is quite a legislative nonsence. As the author of this article notes, there is great need to apply legislative activity to this sphere in order to set the spot for the operative investigative activity within the system of state protection of rights and interests and to arrange due correlation of operative investigative activity with criminal law and criminal procedural law as required for a jural state.

Abstract:
In accordance with part 2 of Art. 176 of the Arbitrazh Procedural Code of the Russian Federation, it is possible for a judge to announce only the holding part of the decision after deliberation, and then to set a date, by which the complete reasoned decision shall be ready and available for the parties. Complete reasoned decision should be ready in no more than 5 days since the holding is announced, and the date, when the complete reasoned decision is ready, is considered to be the date, when the decision was held. It seems to be merely a technical issue, however, it has quite a potential for a number of serious legal problems and conflicts. This article by A.K. Sarkisov is devoted to the problem of distortion of procedural dates and periods, and the author also reviews the issue of criminal, civil and labor responsibility of judges for related violations.
