Abstract: This work explores the factors that significantly affect the security of the constituents of the Russian Federation. For considering in the mathematical model the following factors are being determined: climate factor, socioeconomic factors, level of transnational wellness, and level of integration of the regional national groups into the unified social space of the country. Security is defined through the dichotomy of the values of development and values of preservation. The parameters of the model are being evaluated considering the data on the migration of the population. The author presents calculations on the assessment of the security level in the Russian regions during the peace time and war time (not taking into account the military factors). By using the systemic and historical approaches, along with the methods of mathematical modelling, the author formulates the criterion of regional security, which reflects the values of development (socioeconomic factors) and values of preservation (complementarity of ethnoses, integration of national and regional groups into the country’s social space). The Pareto distribution is used in building of this model; the assessment of parameters is carried out via using the method of least squares. The basic model of regional security can be applied in modelling (expansion of a model): sociopolitical and socioeconomic security, demographical and environmental security, safety in circumstances of emergencies, border security, etc.

Abstract: This article examines the problem of exploitation of aerodromes and aircrafts, as well as their impact upon the environmental security and human health. The authors note that the issues with the safe exploitation of aerodromes are associated with the intense advancement of the aviation technology, accompanied by the increase of the aircraft engines capacity and by the imperfection of the normative base that regulates the use of the adjacent areas t to airports, aerodromes, and aviation companies. As a result, it created a problem of anthropoecological security of aerodromes exploitation, which became an issue of the country’s national security. The authors conduct a socio-sanitary monitoring of the adjacent zones to aerodromes, the results of which are linked to the data from the monitoring of the acoustic circumstances, as well as characteristics of medico-demographical situation and morbidity of the population. The authors believe that provision of the anthropoecological security in exploitation of aerodromes and airports requires formulization and implementation of the new normative-methodological base considering the realities and international experience, as well as permanent socio-sanitary monitoring of territories adjacent to the aerodromes, airports, and aviation companies, in the interest of timely execution of the complex of preventive measures.

Abstract: This article is dedicated to the author’s methodology of analysis of the regional food safety its approbation on the example of the Southern Federal Okrug. The goal of this research consists in the development of a comprehensive universal methodology in analyzing the regional food safety. In achieving the set task, the following measures were required: to develop a system of indexes in assessing food safety on the regional level; to determine the criteria of evaluation of food safety; to synthesize the analytical model with the evaluation of food safety in the region. The recommended indexes and criteria of assessment of the regional food safety correlate with the parameters determined by the Russian Federation Food Security Doctrine, including the requirements of the World Trade Organization. The proposed methodology is approbated on the data of the major regions in the Southern Federal Okrug, which allowed a comparison on the level of ensuring food security in the regions from the time and space perspective. A model has been developed based on the universal methodology of evaluation of the food security on the regional economic level, the distinctive features of which consist in its comprehensiveness and universality.

Abstract: This article is dedicated to the analysis of legal means in counteracting extremism (extremist activity) in the period of uncodified criminal legislation of the Soviet power. The subject of the research is the positions of legislative acts of the Soviet power that regulate to one or another extent the responsibility for actions, which in accordance with the current legislation, fall under the notion of extremist (extremist activity). The author claims that the rejection of the achievements of the former legislation is practically equal to the rejection of apprehension of the positive experience that existed in the pre-revolutionary legislation. A complex analysis of the positions of the 1917 Declaration of the Rights of the Peoples of Russia, Constitution of the Russian Soviet Federated Socialistic Republic, as well as a number of the Soviet Decrees that regulate relations in the area of functioning of the various religious confessions, is being conducted. The conclusion is made that the first legislative acts of the Soviet Power that determine the character of the state-church relations, corresponded with the international legal norms and established the conditions for the equal functioning of the various religious confessions. In addition to that, the author examined a number of the normative legal acts that codify the responsibility for the counterrevolutionary crimes. This work allows making a conclusion that under the counterrevolutionary activity we should understand any threat to the Soviet power; this notion was defined in the legislation similarly to the currently existing notion of extremism. During the first years of the Soviet government, the legislation in the area of counteracting extremism, gained a principally new form; this is explained by the change in the socio-political structure of the country, and the beginning of the process of establishing the new socialistic law and the normative legal base of the state.
