The author analyzes whether it is possible to impose other pre-contractual duties on aggregators such as submission of necessary information and the degree of their responsibility before consumers. In her research Kuznetsova uses such methods of research as analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, formal law method, analysis and generalization of legal materials, and legal forecasting. The author of the article gives a fuller definition of the aggregator as it is set forth by the draft law and extends the scope of the activity of aggregators so that the scope includes not only goods and services but also works and digital content.

// Legal Studies.
2018. № 3.
P. 16-23.
DOI: 10.25136/2409-7136.2018.3.25768 URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=25768
Abstract:
The article is devoted to topical issues relating to the legal stimulating of the economy innovative development in the Russian Federation. The object of the research is the theoretical and practical aspects of the legal stimulating and the subject of the research is the legal patterns of developing the mechanism of legal stimulating of the economy innovative development. The author of the article analyzes definitions of the legal stimulus and and legal stimulating. Davydova assumes that it would make a sense to apply a more general approach to studying the phenomenon of legal stimulating in terms of the economy economic development. In a wide sense, legal stimulating can be defined as the process that ensure the achievement of certain goals through making a positive influence on social relations. It is better to apply a more integral approach to developing the mechanism omf the legal stimulating of the innovative development, moreover, the development of legal stimulating is impossible without using methods and empirical material of other sciences (economics, politics, social studies, psychology, etc.). Thus, the author of this article uses the interdisciplinary approach to carrying out the research. Based on the author, the first and the main factor that makes it difficult for the Russian Federation to start the innovative development is poor activity of social institutions, in particular, the fact that there is no institution of property. Based on the analysis, the author defines structural elements of the mechanism of legal stimulating as including political, legislative, organisational and financial measures. The author also emphasizes the need to undertake measures to improve the institutional environment as it is an essential condition for innovative development, as well as to create the system of timely monitoring of the economic and legal situation in the sphere of innovations in order to discover and improve unproductive legal mechanisms.

Definition of degree of corruption risk of this norm and in general the criminal procedure decision on excitement (about refusal in excitement) criminal case has become possible thanks to a method of the statistical multidimensional analysis, namely cluster analysis.

History of Bood Vengeance of Chechens and Ingush (1870 - 1960)
// Legal Studies.
2018. № 3.
P. 42-57.
DOI: 10.25136/2409-7136.2018.3.25506 URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=25506
Abstract:
The purpose of this article is to analyze the main components of the institution of blood vengeance in Chechen and Ingush communities over the period of time since 1870 till 1960 and compare it to other nations of the North Caucasus in order to discover differences and similarities. According to the author, this approach will allow to define a number of associated legal tendencies. The object of the research is the institution of blood vengeance and how it had been developing over 100 years in the North Caucasus. The subject of the research is the main components of the aforesaid institution such as causes of conflicts, forms of revenge, subjects and objects of revenge, rules of behavior, etc. The research is based on the historical ethnographical research method that allowed the author to carry out a field research and collect ethnographical material about the existence of the institution of blood vengeance since 1870 till 1960. The field research involved interviews of old people (90 - 100 years old) who either witnessed such conflicts themselves or heard stories about them in their family. In addition, the author also used archives of the North Caucasus as the material to compare those stories to. Even though there are researches on blood vengeance in the North Caucasus, so far there have been no researches devoted to the institution of blood vengeance of the Chechens and Ingush and how it had been developing since 1870 till 1960 that would imply ethnographical data and archives of the Supreme Courts of a number of North Caucasian republics. Analysis of that institution of previous times allows to better understand modern legal processes in the North Caucasus.

Criminal Responsibility for Using Cold Weapons
// Legal Studies.
2018. № 3.
P. 58-75.
DOI: 10.25136/2409-7136.2018.3.25553 URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=25553
Abstract:
The article is devoted to criminal responsibility for using cold weapons, all kinds of knives and items that can be used as weapons. The author of the article demonstrates that the danger to the public depends not on the item that was used to commit a crime but actions committed by the guilty to the victim. The number of crimes that resulted in life and health injury were committed using general purpose items is more than that committed using cold weapons. In this research Yarovenko also pays attention to technical features of knives that are similar to cold weapons and considerably exceed admissible criteria. The methodology of the research is based on the analysis of applicable criminal laws, opinions of scientists and judicial investigative practicians regarding the definition of cold weapons and items that can be used as cold weapons. The novelty of the research is caused by the author's conclusion that since the criminal law regulating the use of cold weapons and items that can be used as cold weapons does not contain any distinctions between these, these crimes (Part 4 of Article 222 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and Part 4 of Article 223 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) can be decriminilized as if they were not causing any threat to the public.
