The article is devoted to the problem of changing the model of participation of public legal entities in civil relations. This change is to be made by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation on the example of non-contractual obligations between the state and individuals. For this purpose there was made a study of legislative model of state participation in private relations, as stipulated in Articles 2 and 125 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, and legal positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, enlisted in the Resolutions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation No. 16-P dated 22.06.2017 and No. 39-P dated 08.12.2017. As a result, the author concludes that the current legal model of participation of public legal entities in civil relations does not provide any exceptions for non-contractual obligations between the state and individuals. On the contrary, the legislators are consistent in addressing the issue of which state bodies are able to ensure the civil legal capacity of the individuals and under what conditions. Amendment of the above model by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation via expanding the list of bodies capable of creating legal consequences for public entities, without taking into account the scope of their competence, as well as differences between federal bodies and bodies of state power of the subjects of the Russian Federation, is considered untimely, since the matter requires further thorough study and elaboration

Every citizen of the Russian Federation in everyday life directly or indirectly becomes a participant in tax relations, which are regulated by the Tax code. Since legal acts and laws are quite ambiguous, and the activities of the state are associated with the seizure of property from individuals and legal entities, the emergence of tax conflicts is inevitable. Compromise forms of pre-trial settlement of conflicts are particularly relevant in modern tax relations. They contribute to the emergence and development of trust and fruitful relations between citizens and representatives of tax authorities on the basis of cooperation. The introduction of such procedures as direct negotiations between the parties, mediation and arbitration allow not only to resolve tax disputes promptly, minimize the costs of the parties, reduce the periods of consideration, but also contributes to the unloading of arbitration courts. This article discusses all forms of pre-trial settlement of tax disputes, examines their strengths and weaknesses, the synergetic effect of these forms with preventive and Advisory methods, as well as the introduction of new procedures for the settlement of tax disputes.

The presented study is devoted to the study of the practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation in relation to issues of local self-government in the context of the municipal reform of 2014-2015. and its legal consequences. The aim of this work is to carry out a comprehensive assessment of the practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation on the identified problems of the work of local authorities in the period following the start of municipal reform. The research methodology is built by combining descriptive analysis elements and a case study. It is concluded that the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation has consistently maintained its position on the constitutional nature of the reform of local authorities. The provisions of the relevant regulatory legal acts are limited only partially and only in relation to first-level municipalities - municipal authorities of settlements. Given the deprivation of the latter a significant part of the powers and the observed transition to a singlelevel system of local self-government, the adoption of these restrictions does not significantly affect the implementation of the reform. Of fundamental importance is the position of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation regarding the new powers of regional authorities in relation to municipalities. The increase in the arsenal of legal instruments of the influence of the leadership of the constituent entities of the federation on the heads of local self-government was not interpreted as a violation of the constitutional principle of the independence of municipalities. The latter opens up the possibility for further legalization of the process of embedding municipal bodies in the structure of the informal “power vertical”.

The article raises the issue of state sovereignty in a federal state and reveals its legal nature. The authors draw attention to the diversity of approaches to the concept and essence of sovereignty, reveal its correlation with related categories, describe the concepts of unity and divisibility of state sovereignty. The paper proves that sovereignty is not a quantitative, but a qualitative characteristic of a state, which is either present or not. The authors substantiate the exclusive possession of state sovereignty by the Russian Federation. Based on the analysis of the doctrinal, regulatory sources and the practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, the authors show that the Russian constitutional model explicitly outlines the principle of solid and indivisible state sovereignty spreading throughout the whole territory of the Russian Federation. Recognition of the principle of state sovereignty of Russia presupposes a clear definition of the scope of rights that the Federation should possess in order for its sovereignty to be ensured. The article examines the main features of the state sovereignty of Russia enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation, among which are the supremacy of federal law over the law of the subjects of the Federation, the inviolability of borders and territorial integrity, the unity of the economic space, fiscal, banking and monetary systems, common army (Armed Forces), the right of the state to protect its sovereignty and rights of citizens. Despite the unequivocal decision on the integrity of state sovereignty of the Russian Federation expressed the Constitution of the Russian Federation and by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, this fundamental principle is not completely ensured since the idea of the sovereignty of the republics as components of Russia continues to retain its potential threat to Russian federalism, taking into account the provisions of Art. 73 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation that provide for the full state power of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation

The relevance of the research topic is due to the uncertainty of the provision of constitutional responsibility in the system of legal responsibility types. The study purpose is to the legal nature analysis of constitutional and legal responsibility, allowing it to be viewed as a form of legal responsibility. The conducted research is based on general scientific analysis methods, deduction, and also private law – the formal legal method. So, on the basis of the analysis of the current legislation and law-enforcement practice, we conclude that the political and legal nature of constitutional responsibility is special. On the one hand, it is a form of legal responsibility and is applied to subjects of constitutional responsibility in cases provided for by constitutional norms. On the other hand, it helps to regulate relations that arise in the sphere of public administration, ensure the stability of the functioning of the state apparatus. It is established that this feature explains also the fact that constitutional responsibility can occur not only in case of an offense, but also in case of lawful behavior. It is determined that for consideration of the constitutional responsibility as a special kind of legal responsibility it is necessary to introduce a special procedural order of calling to account, including in particular the procedure for appealing the dissolution of the State Duma, giving the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation the powers to consider such cases. And it is also necessary to fix a list of circumstances that may form the basis for a decision on mistrust in the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The conclusion is made that these legislative changes will underline the specificity of constitutional and legal responsibility and leave no doubt about its status as a kind of legal responsibility.

The work is devoted to topical problems of the civil theory of civil legal liability measures. The authors propose their classification of the measures of civil legal liability, give a brief description of some types of these measures, make reasoned proposals for further development of legislation in the field under studies. The authors of the proposed article refer compensation (recovery) of damages, recovery of penalties (fines, penalties), interests, loss of deposit, payment of deposit in double size, compensation to the measures of civil liability:. There are legitimate, contractual, preclusive, compensation-restorative, and punitive measures of civil legal liability. Civil legal liability measures can be differentiated into the following measures: a) delictual; b) contractual and c) conditional liability; taking into account the subjects of liability they can be classified into: a) measures of liability of individuals; b) measures of liability of legal entities; c) measures of liability of public legal entities, the state. The authors of the article assert that in civil legal there are compensatory payments for: 1) causing moral harm (see, for example, Articles 151, 1099 - 1101 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation); ) diminishing business reputation of legal entities (Article 152 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation); 3) violation of the property rights of consumers (Article 145 of the Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights); 4) violation of exclusive rights to the results of intellectual activity, means of individualization (Article 1252 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation); 5) causing anthropogenic, natural or terrorist harm; 6) infliction of damage by lawful actions of state and municipal bodies (Article 6.1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation); 7) violation of reasonable time limits for judicial proceedings and enforcement of judicial acts. Professor Yu. .N. Andreev and post-graduate student A.P. Zolotarev also refer measures of corporate liability of the members of the corporation to the corporate organization, and, conversely, liability of the corporations to its members to civil legal measures of liability. At the same time, many measures of civil legal liability are simultaneously measures of civil protection. The authors of the article suggest renaming the ‘compensation of damages’ as a way of protecting civil rights, stipulated in Article 12 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, to ‘recover damages’ or ‘compensation for property damage’, clarify Article 15 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation indicating that compensation for damages is applied with a view to recovering property damage for tortious destruction, damage, diminution, restriction of material benefits, non-performance (improper performance) of contractual obligations, non-compliance with unjust enrichment obligation.

Constitutional Identity

Today we are witnesses and participants in a historic event that is very important for Russia – preparation and adoption of amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, reflecting both a legal identity and a vast long-term experience of the constitutional development of the Russian state with due consideration to the opinion of various strata of the population and extensive public discussion. Goal of the research is to show a special role of the Constitution of the Russian Federation from the position of its supremacy in combination with the doctrine of constitutional identity, which is essentially a trend of modern globalization processes, based on the analysis of doctrinal and practical issues, laws and regulations, decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, the European Court of Human Rights, and statistical data. The methodological basis of the research consists in the application of both general scientific and special methods developed in jurisprudence. During the research, the following methods of scientific knowledge played a special role: dialectical, historical, comparative law, statistical, logical, etc. A number of conclusions were drawn concerning, on the one hand, the development of a legal potential of the Constitution of the Russian Federation being a determining vector in preventing socio-political destabilization, and on the other hand, constitutional identity, in the broadest sense shown in the desire to know and formulate the own national, religious and other identities, to follow traditional family values, etc., and at the state level – prevention of violation of territorial integrity, state sovereignty, acknowledgement of constitutional and legal identity of the state.

The Russian Federation

The analysis of the RF Federal Law of 6 October 2003 No 131-FZ, which enshrines the general principles of the organization of local self-government in the Russian Federation, demonstrates the consistent introduction of amendments aimed at restricting the autonomy of local self-government, which clearly contradicts the constitutional provisions on local self-government. In this regard, it seems necessary to determine the presence of the lower level of public authority (local self-government), for which it is necessary to reveal the conformity of the modern realities of local self-government with constitutional provisions and normative legal acts adopted for their development, that is, correlate de jure and de facto. The Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, the highest constitutional justice body, has a great influence on the formation of local self-government in the Russian state. It forms the legal position on the organizational, legal, competence, territorial, financial and economic foundations of local self-government. In this regard, researchers are interested in the legal positions of the RF Constitutional Court regarding the autonomy of local self-government and its relations with state authorities, which have undergone significant changes throughout the entire period of reforming local self-government. Based on the analysis of changes in the legislation on local self-government and the legal positions of the RF Constitutional Court, this article shows the inconsistency of local self-government at the present stage of its development. Thus, the author proves that there are no working mechanisms for the implementation of local self-government by the population. This article concludes that the current situation requires special attention and attitude from the state, since without purposeful changes in the state policy in the sphere of local self-government it is impossible to preserve such postulates enshrined in the Russian Constitution, as democracy and local government.

The article reviews new rules on allotment of land plots to citizens and legal persons. The State Duma included these rules into the Land Code of the Russian Federation in summer 2014. Now they have come into force. The article focuses on the following issues. 1. How do these rules affect the land legislation in general? 2. What are the changes in the powers of public authorities of subjects of the Russian Federation and bodies of local self-government in regulating the order of land plots’ allotment and in implementation of such allotment? 3. How justified is the fact that now auctions are the only possible form of a land tender? The author believes that it is necessary to preserve competitive bidding for cases when same agricultural land plots are allotted to citizens and legal entities. Also there remains a problem associated with the transfer of power on allotment of lands from local governments of municipal areas to the level of rural settlements.

The subject of the study is the constitutional concept of federal territories in Russia. The purpose of the article is to confirm or disprove hypothesis that constitutional status of federal territories in Russia consists of system of elements and identify such elements. The authors use the method of formal legal interpretation of Russian Constitution, the methods of comparative constitutional law, complex analysis, systemic interpretation of Russian laws and drafts of laws. The main results of research, scope of application. When making an amendment to part 1 of Article 67 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the content of this innovation was not disclosed. Therefore the federal law on federal territories will be of decisive importance. The authors define the constitutional characteristics of the federal territories based on the literal content of the constitutional norm and the conclusion of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation. The federal territory is an element of the state territory that is not a subject of the federal structure and has a status different from the status of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. There are specific features of the organization of public power in federal territory. The authors’ vision of the content of each of the elements of the federal territories is presented. It is noted that the defining element of the status of federal territories will be the purpose of their creation. The authors propose a conceptual division of federal territories in Russia into two types: inhabited and uninhabited. It is stated that at the moment, the status elements can be clearly defined only in relation to uninhabited federal territories. The formation of the concept of inhabited federal territories will depend on definition of the purpose of their creation. Conclusions. It is proposed to consider the elements of the status of federal territories in Russia, based on the elements of the status of the subject of the Russian Federation, and in comparison with them. Such elements are: territory, population, subjects of jurisdiction, responsibilities, state power organization, property and budget, system of taxes and fees, names and symbols, population’s role in the state affairs management.

The subject. The enforcement of civil-legal institutions, such as liability for damage and unjustenrichment in tax disputes.The purpose of the paper is to identify how the civil-legal institutions may help in interpretationand enforcement of tax legal rules.The methodology. The methods of analysis and synthesis are used. The focus of the scientificanalysis concerns the decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation,the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and the courts of general jurisdiction.Results and scope of application. Damage (harm) caused to the state by tax arrears is fundamentallydifferent from the harm (damage) caused to the civil order, responsibility forwhich is provided by Art. 1064 of the Russian Civil Code. Concerning the damages to stateby tax arrears, these arrears don’t affect the initial assets of the state and couldn’t be reimbursedusing to the civil order (Art. 1064 of the Russian Civil Code).Concerning property deduction on personal income tax, it can't be equaled to tax (arrears)by using the legal fiction. Because the underestimation of the tax base for personal incometax leads to property losses of the budget, this situation is subject to the application of civillaw institutions.Conclusions. Today the law enforcement practice creates a situation of substitution of legalityby expediency. The essence of this situation is that, if it is not possible to solve a situationby using tax legal rules, the situations is solved by civil law, although the applicationof the civil law to these situations is not possible on the merits.
