The article analyzes the mechanism of consolidation the principle of redistribution of social powers in the Russian legislation, problems and ways to solve some of them. The author pays attention to the fact that some of social powers are referred to the joint jurisdiction of the Federation and the subjects under the Federation Treaty; later legislation continued this trend. However, when transferring the powers at the legislative level, the difference in the social and economic situation of regions and municipalities was not taken into account; subjects were not provided with funding of powers. Tax reform 2005 made municipalities dependent on the regions financially, for which the criteria for the aid amount to municipalities wasn’t indicated. Transfer of the regional tax to local budgets does not eliminate the differentiation, as it is done by the same standards. To resolve problems at the local level some amendments to the 131th Federal Law were adopted in 2014: the powers of the Federation must be transferred to the municipality only with the finances for their implementation, the decision to transfer must be valid for the entire term of the regional parliament, the law on the transfer of it must come into force only from the beginning of the fiscal year.

Profound changes in the social and labor sphere are followed by both emergence of the new opportunities associated with the development of flexible forms of employment, expansion of opportunities for employment, humanization and digitization of work, and the emergence of new threats: the occurrence of such phenomena as employment preсarization, growth of the informal components in the labor relations, distribution of practice of bringing the labor relations to the civil legal area, and so on. As a result, controversies between the main participants of the social and labor relations grow. An effective and worldwide recognized mechanism of resolving them is the social partnership which has the deep historical roots going back to outstanding thinkers of antiquity. During later historical periods the ideas of social partnership gained development in the works of domestic and foreign scientists, public and statesmen. In the Russian Federation social partnership has the specific trajectory of development which has developed under the influence of both historical and modern factors. The carried-out analysis allowed to reveal the following problems of formation and development of the social partnership system in the Russian Federation: sociocultural features, weakness of the trade-union movement, development of non-standard forms of employment, differentiation of the income of the population, low interest of the government. The designated problems which are slowing down the process of transition of the social and labor relations to partner type are manifested both on federal, and on regional levels. To research the extent of development of collective contract regulation and identification of the problems which take place in the system of social partnership at the local level sociological survey of workers of a number of the Russian organizations was performed. As a result, it was found that collective contract regulation of the social and labor relations in the Russian Federation at the local level demands improvement. The main problems of system of social partnership at the local level are: weak knowledge of trade-union members concerning the activity of those organizations, especially at the sectoral, regional, and territorial levels; unwillingness to resolve the issues of social and labor regulation at the organizational level without governmental support and lack of the developed practice of conducting collective negotiations; passivity and weak motivation of trade-union members in protection of their labor rights; weak feasibility of practical implementation of the collective agreement provisions. The results of the theoretical and empirical researches allow to predict the trajectory of further development of social partnership consisting in strengthening of the social component due to the extension of the database concerning the problems of the social partners.

The subject. The article characterizes the role of Russian Constitution, federal laws and bylaws in ensuring tax security.The purpose of the article is to identify legal norms that ensure the tax security of the state, and to confirm the hypothesis that such norms hat such norms are effective in systemic interaction.The methodology. The author uses methods of system analysis of scientific papers devoted to the provision of various types of security. Formal logical and legal interpretation of Russian regulatory legal acts is used also.The main results. Regulatory documents in the field of tax security can be classified into: the Constitution of the Russian Federation at the highest level; program documents (conventions, strategies, charters, concepts, programs, doctrines, standards, directives) as acts of the first level, the legislation of the Russian Federation and its constituent entities is at the second level; departmental regulatory legal acts are at the third level. The law on security should be an act of direct action that determines the content of the management activities of public authorities to ensure security by fixing its goals, principles, the most general forms and means of implementation. The basis of legal provision of tax security at the legislative level should be defined in the federal law on security as well as in the federal law "On Tax Authorities of the Russian Federation" (in intra-governmental relations context because tax authorities are the main subjects of tax administration) and in the Russian Tax Code (concerning relations between public administration bodies and private entities). Any draft legislative acts affecting issues of tax relations and economic management should be examined for compliance with national interests in the field of tax security and the effectiveness of minimizing threats. Each legislative act should take into account the implementation of the goals and principles of ensuring tax security (as well as other types of security) enshrined in the concept document. Such expertise is possible in the process of approving draft laws by the Russian Government as well as when registering relevant bylaws by the Russian Ministry of JusticeConclusions. The Russian Constitution should consolidate a unified approach to the essence of security as a whole. Legislative acts (first of all, the laws on security, on tax authorities, the Tax Code of the Russian Federation) should provide for the main directions of countering threats to tax security arising in the relevant areas of regulation. By-laws and regulations are designed to fix specific managerial ways of dealing with such threats.

Every year the Russian Federation holds thousands of elections — primary, early, occasional, runoffs, etc. This article describes a great number of early election campaigns in Russia, reflects some discrepancies in the statistics, and also reveals some problems of an election process. The author touches upon the following points: 1) proves that early elections are called due to early termination of powers of the elected authorities and officials; 2) demonstrates a variety of the RF constituent entities’ legal approaches to determining of initiators of early election calling; 3) suggests an all-in-one approach to early election calling — by election committees. In her article the author uses statistical technique, comparative juridical and legal modelling methods. As a result the author proposes some amendments to the RF Federal Law “On Basic Guarantees of Electoral Rights and the Right of Citizens of the Russian Federation to Participate in a Referendum”. The author assumes that it is the election committees that should call for early elections, and not the elected public authorities or local governments.

When the concepts «bribery» and «corruption» are used interchangeably it blurs, voluntarily or involuntarily, the borders between these related phenomena. Corruption is a consequence of bribery, but it also has its own distinctive features. The legal definition of corruption, found in the federal law of the Russian Federation, does not include essential qualities of this phenomenon. As a consequence, the Criminal Code norms prescribing liability for bribery still remain the normative basis of liability for corruption. Thus, these two phenomena are counteracted by the same measures of criminological and criminal law prevention, and, as a consequence, such measures lose their relevance and effectiveness, at least against one of the described offences. It is necessary to determine the essential feature of corruption in order to align its public danger with liability measures aimed at fighting it. This essential feature is the self-interested abuse of authority by an official with the purpose of aiding and abetting other persons in committing crimes. On the basis of such an understanding, the author concludes that it is necessary to criminalize corruption. It is suggested that the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation should be supplemented by an Article «Complicity in Corruption». Complicity in corruption is a complex crime that encompasses the situations when officials take bribes for using their authority to assist another person of persons in committing a crime. The proposed Article should determine liability for two types of complicity in corruption that differ in their degree of public danger: aiding and abetting corruption, when an official receives bribes and uses his authority to provide assistance to another person or people in committing a crime, and corrupt collusion, when an official receives bribes and uses his authority to provide assistance to an organized group or a criminal community in committing crimes on a permanent basis. The author analyzes the advantages of this Article in comparison with the Articles used today for qualifying corruption and shows the difference between the crime of complicity in corruption and similar crimes, specifically, those included in Part 3 of Art. 210 («Participation in a Criminal Community»).

Corrupt activities in the Russian Federation have reached the point where national security is under threat. Corruption creates obstacles to the economic growth of the state, slows down various transformations not only in the economic, but also in the social sphere of society, worsens the standard of living in the Russian Federation, undermines public confidence in public authorities, and reduces authority in the eyes of other countries. Theoretically, broad corrupt activities are able to destroy the norms, constitutional foundations that have developed in society and neutralize the operation of any legal system. One should not lose sight of the fact that corruption activity, due to its illegal origin, intersects with other variants of socially destructive phenomena, such as sanctioned crime, shadow economy and terrorist attacks. As a result, it can be said that corruption is a combination of various factors, a continuously growing system that threatens the state and financial security of the country, and is not an independent unit, which is an exceptional precedent of bribery of a certain person among civil servants.
