Abstract: Legal responsibility is a guarantee and an important part of person’s legal status, and it is aimed to create opportunities for use of rights and freedoms, performance of obligations.

Abstract: As the author of this article points out, equality of the subjects of the Russian Federation includes not only declaration of equality of rights and obligations of all the subjects of the Federation, but also reference to relations between the subjects and the Russian Federation itself.

This article contains critical analysis of the initiatives of the President of the Russian Federation, which were included into above-mentioned amendments, the author also refers to the issue of importance of regional legislation.

Abstract: Currently international regulation of extradition as well as extradition practice are developing intensively due to all the threats to the international community from the criminals and the terrorists. Accordingly, extradition receives its share of attention of the mass media. However, the institution of legal extradition is not well-studied enough and normative regulation of it, both international and national, is not completely formed. That is why often the institution of extradition is equaled to the mere giving out of criminals, which, as the authors of this article point out, is incorrect and is not in accordance with the extradition practice either. This article presents us with an analysis of the institution of extradition, its role and place in modern law. The authors also differentiate extradition and giving out, study the issues of clarifying the modern concept of extradition and forms of its realization.

Abstract: Modern Russian legislation ever since 1993, when the Constitution of the Russian Federation was adopted, and till now, does not provide for adequate legislative protection of investors’ rights within the banking system of the Russian Federation.

Author of this article offers her answer to the question: “Is it possible to protect deposits of physical persons, and do such guarantees exist abroad?”, studies experience of a number of foreign states, such as the USA, Germany, Luxembourg, Japan and Hungary.

Truly it is one of the oldest criminal legal institutions, and it is known already to the ancient Indian law (1200-200 B.C.), which clearly formulated the rule about forgiveness of murder, committed to protect someone’s life.

Not surprisingly, necessary defense is recognized in criminal law of virtually all the countries in the world. This article contains analysis of necessary defense in ancient and modern law of various states. The authors review similarities and differences in the title of institution, character of attack, acceptable objects of defense, proportionality and exceeding necessary defense.
