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.

Objectives. The aim of this study is the formation of a concept of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) in the Russian Federation in the context of ensuring and protecting reproductive freedom of the individual. Material. The regulatory legal acts, the doctrinal sources of the Russian Federation are examined to identify key problems that impede the formation of the desired concept. Methods used: general philosophical, general scientific, private scientific, special (structural-legal, formal-legal). Results. The basic postulates of the concept of legal regulation of PGD in the Russian Federation are substantiated. As part of the analysis of domestic legislation, key problems are identified that impede the formation of the desired concept that meets the level of development of medical science and the needs of consumers of medical services. The conclusion is justified that it is necessary to fix at the legislative level the place of pre-plantation genetic tests in the assisted reproductive technologies system, thus giving PGD independent significance outside the context of the problems of infertility treatment. It has been argued that, in addition to the norms of the basic law on protecting the health of citizens, a separate sub-legislative normative legal act of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation should be developed in the system of legal regulation of PGD in Russia, forming a set of mandatory requirements for the PGD procedure, depending on diagnostic goals, as well as determining which methods are preferable depending on the goal and what results the consumer can count on. Conclusions. It is noted that in the system of norms on genetic research, special attention should be paid to genetic counseling, establishing mandatory requirements for the content of the consultation - in relation to PGD, this should include explanations regarding the algorithm and method of the study, the possibilities and limitations of this type of diagnosis for each a particular case, the features of its application to solve a single genetic problem.

The subject of this research is the relevant issues pertaining to popularization of science in the Russian Federation. The goal of this article lies in determination of the currently existing key issues of popularization of science in the Russian Federation: 1) the absence of effective response to the transformation of the traditional field of scientific promotion activity (distribution of new forms and methods of such activity); 2) imperfection of the new legal regulation of educational and scientific promotion activity, which may implicitly lead to negative consequences. The conducted research involves in theoretical conceptualization of scientific promotion activity in the digital age the novelties of legislative regulation of educational activity adopted in April 2021 (the so-called Law on Educational Activity). Unlike other works dedicated to the analysis of this law, this article assesses its basic provisions from the perspective of the effectiveness of achieving the goals set in the context of its impact upon the state of popularization of science in the Russian society. It is established that the model for preventing deterioration of the quality of educational content proposed in the Law on Educational Activity is not effective enough and may further reduce the quality of scientific promotion activity. Therefore, the purpose of imposed restrictions may fail to be achieved. The author believes that the more effective way would lie in intensification of the activity of traditional actors of popularization of science, rather than restriction of the activity of nontraditional actors of popularization of science.

Therefore, an important part of Russia's integration into the international economy is the synchronization of financial regulation in national systems.

The purpose of this study is to conduct a selective analysis of the legislation of the Kingdom of Denmark that regulates public relations regarding medical secrecy in comparison with the legislation of the Russian Federation regulating similar relations. The relevance of the topic is determined by the need to study the specific features of the legal regulation of the social relations selected, as well as the possibility of extracting positive experience of legal regulation of the legal forms chosen – legal relations, legal forms, etc. The object of the study is the public relations that arise over the medical secrecy in the Kingdom of Denmark and in the Russian Federation. The subject of the study is the comparison of a legal institution of medical secrecy and a similar institution in the Russian Federation. The methodological basis of the research consists of general scientific methods of research – analysis and synthesis, systemstructural, formal-logical and analogies, as well as special methods – historical, comparative analysis, descriptive and other methods. The legal regulation of public relations regarding the medical secrecy of a citizen in the Kingdom of Denmark – in comparison with a similar category in the Russian Federation – has significant differences, which can be explained by the specific features of legal systems of both states belonging to different legal families. Despite the fact that in Denmark the legal regulation of relations regarding medical secrecy refers to the powers of bodies other than the legislature and the executive (competence of the Ministry of Health of the Kingdom of Denmark). It is characterized by perfect legal techniques and a wide and comprehensive coverage of regulated relations that are relevant and worthy to pay attention for the purpose of research and discussion. At the international level the Kingdom of Denmark, in fact, is not a party to international legal acts regulating social relations arising from medical secrecy (with the exception of several international legal acts). To a large extent, these issues are in the competence of national legislation.
