Abstract:
It has been more than ten years since new Constitution of the Russian Federation of 1993 enshrined the bases of Russian federalism. However, as N.M. Dobrynin notes, one cannot say that Russia has become a truly federal state. And the problem is not limited only to the imperfections of constitutional provisions and their declarative character, but is also obvious in realization of constitutional provisions in national legislation and in practice. And we should be really sorry, that instead of a basic reconstruction of the Russian state towards the true federalism, we’ve only had a mere “federal redecoration”…

Abstract:
This article by Professor A.E. Zhalinsky is devoted to the problems related to understanding of criminal law, its legal and social characteristics, its legal nature. As the author notes, the analysis of criminal law should not be separated from the social reality. Rather, it should “follow the facts”. With all due respect to phylosophy, which contains important methodological bases of criminal law, the quotes from Kant, Hegel and Plato are useful, but by no means sufficient means for the understanding of criminal law.

Ptchelintsev contains analysis of various materials (including positions of renowned Russian and foreign legal scholars), which allow the author to come to a conclusion that limitation of rights and freedoms is necessary for an optimal balance of interests of state, society and individual.

P. 62-71.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=49977
Abstract:
The Constitution of the Russian Federation of 1993 provides that state service is one of the most important forms of access of people to managing the affairs of state and society, and equal access to state service is protected by law. At the same time the Constitution guarantees the independence of local (municipal) government. Thus, the municipal bodies are outside the system of state bodies, and an institution of municipal service is separated from the state civil service. This article by Professor Eremyan is devoted to the comparison of state civil service and municipal service (municipal service in Moscow taken as an example) in Russia.

Abstract:
This article by V.A. Laskovyi is devoted to the problem of singling out the legal construction of an investment contract within the framework of civil legislation and its classification.
