The article deals with the issues of observance of the rights of the Bulgarian national minority in Ukraine as an element of forming a positive image of Ukraine in Bulgaria. The issue of the rights and freedoms of ethnic Bulgarians in Bessarabia first arose in the bilateral relations between the Ukrainian people’s Republic and the Kingdom of Bulgaria after the establishment of diplomatic relations in accordance with the Ukraine-Bulgaria Supplementary Treaty of 12 February 1918. The informational explanation of the UNR’s open policy on national minorities immediately became an integral part of the activities of the first Ukrainian diplomatic mission in Sofia. Ethnic Bulgarians won the right to revive the study of their native language, history, and identity only after the restoration of Ukraine’s independence in 1991. In particular, the non-governmental sector has played a significant role in shaping Bulgaria’s state policy towards foreign Bulgarians. The article analyses the existing Ukraine-Bulgaria agreements that regulate relations between Ukraine and Bulgaria in the issue of the rights of Bulgarian and Ukrainian citizens of Ukrainian origin, as well as the legislative framework of Bulgaria in the field of state policy towards foreign Bulgarians. Despite the sensitivity of the Bulgarian society to the topic of foreign Bulgarians in Ukraine, which was and still is their largest and oldest historical Diaspora, the guarantee of the rights of ethnic, linguistic, cultural and religious identity of persons of Bulgarian nationality and Ukrainian nationality is enshrined in the Ukrainian-Bulgarian international treaties. The article highlights the impact of the issue of the Bulgarian national minority on the political dialogue between Ukraine and Bulgaria. Special attention is paid to the issues of ensuring the language rights of Ukrainian ethnic Bulgarians in the context of recent changes in Ukrainian legislation. Keywords: Ukraine, Bulgaria, Ukraine-Bulgaria relations, rights of the national Bulgarian minority, positive image of Ukraine.

In the USSR, the dual citizenship was expressly prohibited by the Soviet law. After Perestroika, a new stage of Russian statehood began: on 12 December 1993, the Constitution of the modern Russian Federation was adopted, which granted Russian citizens the right to have dual citizenship. Over the past twenty-five years, a new legislation has been adopted on the Russian citizenship, migration, and the state policy regarding compatriots living abroad. During these years, millions of Russian citizens have obtained second (multiple) citizenship, and with it came to questions, disputes and problems that required mediation of the Russian judiciary. In this regard, the main purpose of this article is to analyze the existing domestic legislation and international treaties of Russia on dual citizenship, to determine the dual citizenship regime in Russia - to examine the existing restrictions on the rights and freedom of persons with dual citizenship, and also to study the disputes on dual citizenship in the Russian Federation, in particular to scrutinize the judicial practice (leading cases) of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation. Based on an analysis performed in the article, the author draws conclusions regarding the further development of dual citizenship within the framework of the Union State of Belarus and Russia, and also investigates prospects of the Eurasian citizenship in the framework of the Eurasian Union. In addition, the author makes a proposal to Russian authorities to make information on registered Russian citizens with dual (multiple) citizenship more accessible and transparent, and also to adopt at the federal level a document on the Russian state policy regarding dual citizenship.

The category of «civil society» is at the intersection of several scientific fields and is explored by philosophy, political, legal, and other sciences. Today, both among Western and domestic researchers, there is a rather large variety of opinions and assessments regarding the interpretation of the complex, multidimensional issues of civil society. And the achievements of various scientific fields should be involved in the reform of the system of public administration and local self-government, as well as to find an effective model of public administration with effective mechanisms of interaction between government and society. To this end, a brief theoretical analysis of the concept of civil society has been made since the ancient times, when in the history of civil society and state relations two tendencies, called liberal and conservative, have emerged and began to emerge.The first is the division of civil society and state, in opposition to man and political power; is based on recognition of the indivisibility of the individual as a subject of law, guaranteeing his freedom of life and the limited political power. The second (conservative trend) - in the merger of man and power, politics and law, within a single statehood. With the consistent development of this trend, state policy rests on the notion that private interests are insignificant, irrelevant. Activation of state policy and recognition of the right of state dominance over society are put forward.The author draws attention to the fact that civil society in the West (where liberalism prevails) has evolved over a long historical period, and therefore differs from those in the countries that have become independent after the collapse of the USSR. Therefore, one should not be attracted to the borrowing experience of other countries. In the author’s opinion, one must find his own, possibly unique, model that is relevant to our national traditions, which should be oriented towards the principle of individualism, and not collectivism. At the present stage of development, the role of the state and the authorities is to improve the system of public administration, to develop effective mechanisms that should promote the development of civil society in Ukraine.

The aim: The purpose of this article is to analyze the state policy of several states in creating an effective mechanism in which persons entering into marriage will be able to obtain the necessary information about the state of each other’s health and thereby make an informed decision about registering a marriage, protecting the health of each other and future offspring. Materials and methods: In the course of the study, a comparative analysis of the legal means used by some states in the field of biological protection of marriage was carried out. First of all, a study was carried out of the family legislation of states with different approaches to the system of premarital medical examination of persons entering into marriage. In addition, the scientific works of scientists from different countries were used, the object of study of which was the problems associated with the biological protection of marriage. The work also used the results of surveys that were conducted in some countries and highlighted in published scientific works. Conclusions: Health information is essential when deciding whether to marry. Hiding such information can seriously harm the partner’s health and children born in such a union. The task of the state is to find a middle ground, in which the balance of interests of the person, whose medical examination revealed health problems (the right to medical secrecy), on the one hand, and the person with whom it is planned to register a marriage (the right to health protection; the right on the voluntariness of marriage).At the same time, the emphasis in state policy on the biological protection of the family should be placed on preventive measures, including non-legal means of information.

In spite of the presence of intersectionality as a concept in feminist literature for over twenty-five years, the State Policy, across the world, has been ignorant towards the interplay of identities and its role in the discrimination law jurisprudence. This article claims that a legitimate accommodation of a multi-ground claim under the Right to Equality regime, present in various legal systems, shall be a purposive step towards substantive equality. The article also highlights certain frailties associated with Intersectionality and introduces the age-old dilemma surrounding the formulation of State Policy, as to whether it should be ―identity-neutral‖ like anti-classification principle, or ―identity-sensitive‖ like intersectionality itself. The article also introduces the vulnerability theory proposed by Martha Fineman, as a post identity approach. The final analysis, explains how the two theories can coexist so that the State Policy can move towards substantive equality, and thus, mitigate the horrors of discrimination.
