After part of the territory of Donetsk and Lugansk regions in 2014 came under the control of separatist entities supported by the Russian Federation, the situation with respect for human rights and freedoms, including the right to freedom of conscience, became much more complicated. First of all, it can be noted that the beginning of repressions on a religious basis laid a wide and intensive use of religious rhetoric in mobilizing supporters of “L / DPR”, in connection with which believers of confessions and denominations considered harmful by Orthodox fundamentalists were systematic persecution and spontaneous acts of aggression.

The subject of this article is the problems of the nature, essence and purpose of prosecutorial activity. The purpose of the article is to study and justify the role of the human rights function in prosecutorial activities in the concept of a modern legal state. At the heart of prosecutorial activity is the implementation of the main function of the Prosecutor’s office – its rights and freedoms, their protection. This means that any type (branch) of Prosecutor's supervision is permeated with human rights content in relation to a citizen, society, or the state. This is confirmed by the fact that the Federal law “On the Prosecutor's office of the Russian Federation” establishes an independent type of Prosecutor's supervision-supervision over the observance of human and civil rights and freedoms. It is argued that the legislation enshrines the human rights activities of the Prosecutor's office as its most important function. It is proposed to add this to the Law “On the Prosecutor's office of the Russian Federation”.

A series of protests across Russia, triggered by procedural violations during the 2011 parliamentary elections and results of the 2012 presidential elections, culminated on 6 May 2012 with a demonstration at Bolotnaia Square in Moscow. That demonstration led to violent clashes between protesters and the police. The dispersal of this demonstration and the subsequent criminal and administrative trials conducted against some of the protesters, as well as the controversy regarding the severity of some of the penalties imposed by the courts, became known as the Bolotnoe Affair. The Bolotnoe Affair is analyzed from the perspective of implementing the right to freedom of assembly in Russia. The main goal is to conduct a contextual legal analysis clarifying whether the right to freedom of assembly is adequately implemented in the legal order of the Russian Federation, in order to illustrate whether the protesters in the Bolotnoe Affair were able to express their opinions with regard to the procedure and results of the elections. The leading court cases relevant to the participatory rights of the protesters as exemplified by the appellate decisions of the Moscow City Court will also be examined. In particular, twelve decisions of the Moscow City Court during the period 2012–2014 (full texts of which are reproduced in publicly available legal databases) are reviewed, as well as two recent judgments in European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) cases closely related to these earlier cases. Analyzing the Moscow City Court decisions vis-à-vis the judgments of the ECtHR, the author concludes that the Moscow City Court’s rulings did not conform with the provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights (echr) regarding the right to freedom of assembly and the right to liberty.

The Individual

The 1993 Constitution of the Russian Federation as one of the principles of the legal status of an individual establishes the possibility of restricting human and civil rights and freedoms, while also providing for the necessary conditions for imposing such restrictions (the existence of a constitutional goal of restriction; setting restrictions only by federal law; proportionality; compliance with international standards of restrictions; prohibition restrictions on rights based on social, racial, national, linguistic or religious affiliation). The need for the existence of restrictions on the rights and freedoms of the individual is due to various reasons: the protection of the foundations of the constitutional order, the rights and freedoms of other persons, and the interests of the state. However, certain human rights and freedoms cannot be restricted under any circumstances; this so-called absolute rights and freedoms. But neither national legislation nor international law contain a precisely defined list of absolute rights and freedoms. The aim of the article is to identify in the Constitution of the Russian Federation of 1993 and in international acts unrestricted (absolute) rights and freedoms of a person and citizen. The relevance of the research topic for the Russian constitutional legal science is due to the fact that certainty in the understanding of the list of unrestricted rights and freedoms is necessary for the improvement of lawmaking and law enforcement activities. The article examines the provisions of the Constitution of Russia, the main international legal acts on human rights, the legal positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation.

This article discusses the features of the implementation of non-jurisdictional forms of protection of civil rights (self-defense, claims, mediation) in relation to patent infringements in the Russian Federation. It is noted that the self-defense of patent rights by classical means in non-contractual legal relations is limited due to the peculiarities of the legal nature of the objects of patent rights, namely because of their intangible nature, the general availability of information about them, the presence of state registration, but it is possible to use special means of self-defense: software and hardware, introduction trade secrets, optimization of patenting and legal protection strategies as know-how. It is concluded that it is necessary to specify the provisions of Articles 1252 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and Articles 14.1. - 14.3. Federal Law on the Protection of Competition regarding the assessment of good faith / unfairness of the distribution by the patent holder of warnings about the alleged violation of his rights and apply the approach according to which: the patent holder has the right to protect his exclusive right, and also in case of threat of negative consequences from third parties, to disseminate information about the alleged , in his opinion, a violation of his rights, including against the alleged offender, as well as other persons, including buyers / p purchasers of goods, works, services of the patent holder or the alleged infringer, which in itself is not an act of unfair competition.

The modern society of the Russian Federation is faced with the massive incompetence of specialists in various fields of activity and branches of knowledge. The situation reached such a climax that a person and a citizen began to be openly afraid to get sick, to turn to law enforcement or human rights bodies, to delve into the essence or content of laws in the event of any kind of tort. Setting ourselves the goal of understanding such destructive processes for the state, as well as the ways of their counteraction, we came to the conclusion that these phenomena of objective reality are associated with both external and internal causes, and one of the ways to eliminate them may be recognition and the development of the right of active citizens and civil society to legal initiative. Considering that the sphere of research interests was in the plane of law, it became possible to conduct a study in the field of legal awareness and legal education, which does not exclude the possibility of using the identified positive and negative aspects for other spheres of human and citizen's life.

Через призму обязанности государства соблюдать и защищать права и свободы человека и гражданина в Российской Федерации в статье рассматриваются правовые основы возможности образования нового суда – российского суда по правам человека. Рассмотрены существующие нормативные правовые акты, устанавливающие порядок осуществления защиты органами судебной власти прав и законных интересов граждан страны и иных лиц, проживающих в России. Использованы мнения членов Совета при Президенте Российской Федерации по развитию гражданского общества и правам человека, а также участников «круглого стола», проведенного в Общественной палате Российской Федерации и посвященного вопросам создания российского суда по правам человека. По итогам проведенного анализа сделан вывод, из которого следует, что вместо создания очередного государственного органа судебной власти следует наладить эффективную работу существующей судебной системы, для чего сформулированы конкретные предложения. Through the prism of the state's obligation to respect and protect human and civil rights and freedoms in the Russian Federation, the article examines the legal basis for the possibility of forming a new court – the Russian Court of Human Rights. The existing normative legal acts establishing the procedure for the protection of the rights and legitimate interests of citizens of the country and other persons residing in Russia by the judicial authorities are considered. The opinions of the members of the Presidential Council for the Development of Civil Society and Human Rights, as well as the participants of the "round table" held in the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation on the establishment of the Russian Court of Human Rights were used. Based on the results of the analysis, it is concluded that instead of creating another state body of judicial power, it is necessary to establish the effective functioning of the existing judicial system, for which specific proposals are formulated.

Constitutional Identity

The  article is  devoted to  the  study of  the  connection between the  doctrine of  constitutional identity with the  doctrine of “counter-limits” and the doctrine of “ultra vires”. All these concepts are applied in the practice of European constitutional courts in cases related to the resolution of conventionally constitutional conflicts. Since the doctrine of “constitutional identity” in domestic theory and practice is in its infancy, in the author’s opinion, it is necessary to take into account the foreign experience of protecting national constitutional identity. And also carefully consider all related concepts, such as the doctrine of counter-limits and the doctrine of “ultra vires”, paying special attention to the topic of their relationship. The author, analyzing the doctrine of “counter-limits” and the doctrine of “ultra vires”, comes to the conclusion that these doctrines, along with other instruments for protecting national constitutional identity (the doctrine of the margin of appreciation), can be used in relation to the dispute between the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the ECHR on “the right of the last word”.
