The growth and dissemination of Russia’s propaganda have become a serious threat in recent years. But these efforts of Russia are not new, they have a basis in the past – known as “active measures.” Therefore, the problem of detecting and counteracting these “active measures,” first and foremost, is that there is no commonly accepted definition of the term. Therefore, the authors addressed the specific problem of the definition of “active measures.” The authors found that all “active measures” were subordinated to a single political strategic idea, and this idea was carried out by various methods. The authors are convinced that any classification of current “active measures” should be based on the methods detected. In order to identify these methods, the scheme of “active measures,” suggested by S. K. Whittle, is used. At the same time, his scheme has been supplemented, and the relevant cases for the application of different methods of “active measures” are given. An attempt is made to compare the methods of applying “active measures” with current aspects of the hybrid war of the Russian Federation, in particular in Ukraine.

Annotation. The widespread introduction of laser products in various fields of science, technology and medicine, as well as the possibility of serious damage to the organ of vision and skin during their operation, put forward new and increasingly complex tasks for laser hygiene. An analysis of the hygienic normative and methodological documents currently in force on the territory of the Russian Federation showed that they cannot fully ensure laser safety. Differences in the approaches to the hygienic standardization of laser radiation (LR), adopted in the Russian Federation and the USA and the European Union, have been established. The LR hygienic standards in GOST R IEC 60825-1-2013 are practically identical to foreign IEC 60825 standards, that is, in most spectral ranges they exceed the MPL by an order of magnitude or more (SanPiN 1.2.3685-21). The necessity of correcting the hygienic standards of LR, harmonizing the classification of lasers according to the degree of hazard, and developing effective means of control and protection was revealed. Draft documents have been developed: "Hygienic standards for laser radiation" and "Sanitary and epidemiological requirements for working conditions during the operation of laser products", the introduction of which into the practice of sanitary and epidemiological supervision will ensure the preservation of the health of workers. Key words: lasers, correction of hygienic standards, classification, methods and means of control and protection, laser safety.

The article provides a new classification of evaluative concepts enshrined in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, indicates the purpose of its existence in the doctrine of criminal law. The article describes the definition of constitutive evaluative concepts that are determined as legislatively vague evaluative concepts that, by their normative-essential and functionally-substantive characteristics, are absolute, necessarily alternative, or accompanying structural features of a crime. Through the prism of the features of constitutive evaluative concepts, their varieties, essential features and functions are distinguished; interpretation (including cognitive) meaning is revealed. Moreover, the interpretation features of these evaluative concepts are considered in two interdependent aspects: the structurally-essential (associated with the types, attributes and functions of constitutive evaluative concepts) and the procedural-substantive (associated with the informative and informative activities of the interpreter). It is indicated that the interpretation features of an structurally-essential nature are, firstly, in the composition and criminogenic properties of constitutive evaluative concepts, and secondly, in the semantic structural composition, indicating a meaningful dependence of the evaluative concept on the accompanying structural features of a crime, and thirdly, legally significant functional features. At the same time, interpretative features of a procedural-substantive order are also highlighted, which include, firstly, the need for a paramount definition of the criminogenic determinant, designed to establish the structural features of a crime in a perfect act, and secondly, in an increased degree of normative casuistic derivative of these evaluative concepts. The author comes to the conclusion that constitutive evaluative concepts are interpreted according to the same logical-linguistic and legal laws, but with some marked structurally meaningful features.

В статье рассматриваются основания смягчения уголовного наказания в уголовном законодательстве Российской Федерации. Основания смягчения уголовного наказания направлены на снижение бремени уголовного наказания, что в свою очередь опосредованно влияет на процесс реализации уголовной политики. Проводится различие терминов «смягчение» и «освобождение» от уголовной ответственности и ее «исключение». Исследуются межотраслевое содержание системы оснований смягчения уголовного наказания, а также признаки системы оснований смягчения уголовного наказания и классификация оснований смягчения уголовного наказания. Дается доктринальное определение системы оснований смягчения уголовного наказания. The article discusses the grounds for mitigating criminal punishment in the criminal legislation of the Russian Federation. The grounds for mitigation of criminal punishment are aimed at reducing the burden of criminal punishment, and that, in turn, indirectly affects the process of implementation of criminal policy. A distinction is made between the terms “mitigation” and “exemption” from criminal responsibility and its “exclusion”. The intersectoral content of the system of grounds for mitigation of criminal punishment, as well as signs of the system of bases for mitigation of criminal punishment and the classification of the grounds for mitigation of criminal punishment are investigated. A doctrinal definition of the basis for the mitigation of criminal punishment is given.

Over the past ten years, Russia has been building a system of effective state financial management. Particularly, it is implemented by reforming the Federal Executive bodies that are currently transforming the digital economy. The realities of the present time dictate the need to improve the methodology, forms, and technology of the process of financial management. Moreover, development of the concept of “financial management” is necessary. Note that this concept is not determined in the normative legal acts of the Russian Federation at the legislative level. This leads to multiple discussions and the formation of different points of view on its definition. In this article, the authors analyze the concept of “financial management” in the Russian and foreign literature and provide their own definition of this term.

Abstract The concepts of ‘gray zone conflict’, as one of the new phenomena in the theory of international relations, are given considerable attention in modern strategic researches of analysts, in particular American ones (Hel Brands, Adam Elkus, etc.). The definition of ‘gray zone conflict’ by American political scientists coincides with the definitions of domestic scholars in outlining the hybrid war in general, and Russian Federation’s war against Ukraine in particular. At the same time, qualifying the aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine and the war in Eastern Ukraine as the sole concept of ‘gray zone’ shall be considered not to be entirely correct, since the scales tend to favor the definition of civil war, which is so advantageous to Vladimir Putin. On the other hand, the war in Eastern Ukraine has many shades of gray, which gives grounds to the use of the concept of ‘gray zone conflict’ on specific examples of the existence of real and imaginary gray zones (realities of existence and zones of silence) and to investigate their quantitative and qualitative characteristics, to determine the degree of the viral use of the gray zone of conflict by the state (as an object of aggression), which complicates its establishment. The possibilities/unacceptability of solving gray zone conflicts by “gray” methods are being outlined as well.

The paper is devoted to determining the moment of criminal responsibility and its content. The positions existing in science and practice are analyzed. The point of view on the occurrence of criminal responsibility at the moment when a person is being charged with a crime is substantiated. This opinion is supported by an analysis of Art. 299 and 305 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The relationship between the characteristics of the subjective side of the crime and the emergence of criminal responsibility is demonstrated. The content of criminal responsibility has been examined both in the criminal law and in the criminal procedure aspect. The emergence and termination of criminal responsibility, as well as its content, are examined, inter alia, through the prism of the grounds for relief from it provided for in Sec. 11 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Other measures of a criminal legal nature have been studied as constituting criminal responsibility. The issue of the possibility or impossibility of including them in the content of criminal responsibility has been resolved. The classification of the components forming the content of criminal responsibility is proposed. The definition of criminal responsibility is formulated, which, according to the author, should be enshrined in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Control Work

The tax legislation does not contain a clear definition of the term "tax risks". Setting up and expanding a private business is not an easy task. Apart from the idea and a great desire to do business, financial resources are necessary, the investment of which does not always bring benefits. Risks in doing business are on the watch for any entrepreneur, not only a beginner, but that who has been running his business for more than a year as well. When finances are invested in any business, the risk is always present. The causes for tax risks uprising may be: frequently changing tax legislation, in connection with which the business does not have time to master the changing rules of the game in time; failure (late) execution of fiscal liabilities in the manner and time limits provided for by the Tax Code of the Russian Federation; work with unscrupulous partners; transactions between related parties (violation of pricing rules for these transactions); minimizing taxes by applying optimization methods not provided for by the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. Tax risks exist not only for taxpayers, but for the state as well, which is associated with a possible decrease in tax revenues, which are the financial component of the budget. The article provides a classification of risks, factors that cause tax risks in an organization. The level of risk remains high when working with counterparties, and therefore, despite the adoption of Article 54.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, which replaced the concept of obtaining unjustified tax benefits, the importance of caution and prudence in choosing a counterparty does not become weaker. The author presents the key performance indicators of the control work carried out by the tax authorities for 2016–2019.
