Abstract:
Before the Presidential elections in Kazakhstan there was a lot of forecasts on negative electoral attitude, coming chaos and instability. The authors of this article were members of the official international observers’ mission at the elections of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, they met with the representatives of the Central Election Commission of Kazakhstan and City Election Commission of Almaty, held roundtables and press-conferences, visited a number of electoral areas. In this article they give their impressions of the elections. In particular, the authors note that the differences in the evaluation of the elections by various groups of observers have to do with differences between the Eastern and the Western “schools” of electoral observers, with the tendency of the latter school to use “double standards”…

// Law and Politics.

P. 12-16.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=49901
Abstract:
The percentage of murders, robberies and other crimes grew greatly during the transition years in Russia. The law-enforcement bodies were unable to effectively fight crime and were in the state of crisis. It is known that inaction of criminal law leads to new crimes, since the criminals start to believe that they would not be held responsible for these crimes. At the same time, legal irresponsibility deforms the legal attitudes of lay people. A crime without punishment is an abnormal thing, and it should not be allowed both socially and legally, since it is dangerous. This article is devoted to the problems of legal responsibility for the crimes.

Abstract:
Currently the threats to the military security of the Russian Federation - both internal and external, real and potential - remain an issue of concern. At the same time the military doctrine of the Russian Federation provides only for the general threats and specific sources of these threats are not mentioned. The lack of clear subject references for ensuring military security causes confusion, which makes strategic and operative planning more difficult. The authors study the above-mentioned problem and offer their ways to correct the Military Doctrine of the Russian Federation so it would meet the challenges of the modern reality.

URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=49911
Abstract:
Participation of state in the investment relations is aimed at the realization of the public goals of the state itself. Accordingly, the state, while taking part in the private civil relations and the public legal relations in the sphere of investment, often gets itself into a dubious position. On one hand it should protect the public interest of the society as a whole, and on the other hand, it should obey the civil law requirements, protecting the interests of the private persons in a particular case. This article by V.A. Trapeznikov is devoted to the conflict of interest issues within the framework of investment law, which the author regards as an independent complex branch of the Russian law.

Abstract:
The problem of return of deposit accounts (including “accounts for children”), which were opened before January 1, 1995 and March 1, 1996 (that is before Parts 1 and 2 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation came into force), does not lose its topicality in the modern Russia nowadays. A. Mukhamet-Irekle’s article is devoted to the study of Russian law and judicial practice in this sphere, and the author provides his critical analysis of the problem. As the author points out, the theory of law provides for the various opportunities for the practical judicial protection of the account depositors. That is why, this article is of interest both to the depositors and their legal representatives.
