Currently, organ trafficking occupies a leading position among transnational organized criminal groups due to the high demand for illegal services and the relatively low rates of detection of illegal actions by law enforcement agencies. In this context, the purpose of the paper was to conduct a comparative analysis of the foundations of the legal regulation of criminal liability for organ trafficking and trafficking in the Russian Federation, Kazakhstan, and the European Union to form scientifically substantiated conclusions and suggestions for improving existing national legislation. To achieve this purpose, general scientific and special methods were used. The study also uncovers vectors and substantiates the feasibility of implementing EU legislation in the field of organ trafficking and trafficking in the criminal legislation of the Russian Federation and Kazakhstan, predicts the prospects for improving legal regulation on the subject matter and outlined the priority actions of legislative bodies. At the same time, promising areas of research in this matter are the issues of punishability of such acts and the appointment of the appropriate punishment. Furthermore, the creation of a highly regulated transplantation system at the national level was proposed, which is to be managed by a national transplantation authority with broad oversight powers. The creation of such a centralised competent authority will ensure the implementation of the scope of measures that would effectively reduce the risk of organ trafficking and trafficking and protect potential victims.

The article presents the author's view of the current situation with the regulation of ESG-banking in Russia and the European Union. According to the author, the ESG-banking business model is the conduct of banking business in accordance with the sustainable development standards enshrined in the UN. At the national level, ESG-banking must comply with taxonomy parameters. Taxonomy provides for the identification and classification of phenomena and processes to assess the results of ESG-banking. The author came to the following conclusions: 1) there is currently no established international practice in regulating ESG issues: the problem is not a lack of existing standards or frameworks, but the absence of a universal standard; 2) in 2020, documents regulating ESG-banking were published in Russia and the European Union: in the Russian Federation - Recommendations for the implementation of the principles of responsible investment dated 15.07.2020 and Regulation on securities issue standards No. 706-P of the Bank of Russia; as well as Methodological recommendations on "green financing" from 13.07.2020 "VEB.RF"; in the European Union - the EU Taxonomy Regulation dated 18.06.2020, as well as the ECB's Climate and Environmental Risk Guidelines dated 27.11.2020; 3) the adoption of the Federal Law “On Environmental Audit and Environmental Auditing”, developed by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian Federation, would contribute to the improvement of the implementation of “green” projects in Russia.

In the Russian Federation, bancassurance has already become a relatively common type of interactions between banks and their customers in selling insurance, with banks being the main channels for distributing insurance services in exchange for commission. Borrowers are known to be the weaker side of a contract, which leads to banks impose insurance services and commission, which the banks may capitalize on. This indicates a significant issue for the local antitrust and banking regulations. The article describes the expertise in managing these activities in the member countries of the European Union and provides recommendations for a possible legal regulation of insurance and banking activities in Russia.

Energy security is currently one of the key components of national security of any country. The object of this research is the basic documents of strategic planning of the European Union in sphere of ensuring energy security (Roadmap of the European Union “Final 10-year ETIP SNET R&I roadmap covering 2017-26”) in the context of comparative analysis of the existing approaches towards ensuring energy security of the Russian Federation (Energy Security Doctrine of the Russian Federation). The analysis is conducted from the perspective of comparison of two documents of strategic planning for the purpose of identification of threats and risks to the economic security. The subject of this research is the threats and risks to energy security of the countries, and thus, their national security. The scientific novelty consists in examination of the documents of strategic planning in the sphere of energy security using methodology of comparative analysis developed by the authors, which is based on the dynamic semantic network. In accordance with the aforementioned methodology, analysis is carried out on the structure of documents that encompasses the processes, the manifestation of which can be observed through objective and subjective methods of monitoring. The authors developed the expert analytical apparatus of comparative analysis, as well as the methodology for assessing the objectivity of comparative analysis. The developed methodology of comparative analysis is tested on the example of strategic planning documents in the sphere of energy security of the European Union and the Russian Federation. The conclusion is made on the need for further research of the methodological foundations of comparative analysis in order to detect the risks and threats to the economic security of the Russian Federation.
