Definition Of

The paper is devoted to the study of the category “economic activity” used in modern Russian law. Theauthor notes that, despite the absence of a legal definition of this category, it is used in the current legislation of the Russian Federation (civil, criminal, administrative and other branches of legislation, including legislation regulating procedural issues). The legislative gap under consideration creates problems in law enforcement, which the judiciary draws attention to: the lack of definition of the concept under review makes it difficult to establish jurisdiction, since any activity of the participants of relations regulated under civil law has an economic basis. However, a number of documents contain a description of economic activity. In the doctrine, the category “economic activity” is mainly investigated by academic economists, lawyers pay little attention to the consideration of this concept. The few legal doctrinal statements and attempts made by the judiciary to define it are insufficient to fully understand economic activity in the context of law. The paper analyzes doctrinal and judicial approaches to the content and characteristics of economic activity, attempts to define the concept under consideration. The author considers that the concept "economic activity" refers to the commission of legal actions by the actors at various levels of management aimed at production, distribution, exchange and consumption of goods through the use of their or attracted skills and assets to meet their (or third parties) material and spiritual needs. At the same time, the characteristic of professionalism used in the doctrine should be used to differentiate economic activity carried out in active and passive forms.

To Receive

Nowadays, the state takes a close interest in the activities of self-employed citizens to receive additional revenues to the budget from tax revenues. The objective of this article is to assess the legitimacy of categorizing the self-employed as entrepreneurs, both in theory and law. An analysis of the legal nature of self-employment is undertaken. It is shown that the lack of clear qualification of this type of economic activity generates legal conflicts and problems of law enforcement. It is noted that the international practice has not developed a unified approach to the definition of "self-employment". The criteria, legal mechanisms of legitimation, and taxation system of the mentioned category of economic entities differ essentially. The article points out the position that the Russian legislation does not always justify referring the activity of self-employed citizens to a type of entrepreneurship. In several cases, the activity of self-employed people lacks the meaningful attributes of entrepreneurial activity established by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

The article discusses a new object of civil rights, which appeared as a result of the addition of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation with article 141.1 “Digital rights”. The features of the definition of digital rights in Russian civil law are revealed. Particular attention is paid to the formulation of the concept of digital rights contained in the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. The author draws attention to the fact that according to Russian civil law, digital rights include only those that are directly named as such in the law, which indicates a legislative limitation of their turnover. In addition, the adopted laws on crowdfunding and digital financial assets were reviewed, as well as utilitarian digital rights and digital rights that relate to digital financial assets were analyzed. Attention is also drawn to other problems raised in the science of civil law regarding the modernization of Russian civil legislation in the field of digital rights. The author emphasizes the positive nature of the appearance in the Russian law of norms on digital rights, as an indicator of a legislative response to the digitalization of the economy and law, and a necessary prerequisite for further regulation of civil law relations changing under its influence.

Law Regulation

The norms of Chapter 22 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation are in the overwhelmingmajority of a blanket nature. Blanketness implies the need to appeal to other, in addition to criminal,branches of law to establish the content of a criminal law prohibition. However, the criminal law containsdefinitions that are not defined not only in the normative acts of various branches of law, but also in thelegal doctrine. Of course, such a situation significantly complicates the process of understanding the true content of the criminal law norm, as a result, can lead to significant errors in law enforcement. One ofthese definitions is “accounts payable”. The term itself is directly mentioned in the disposition of one normof the criminal law — Art. 177 (malicious evasion from paying off accounts payable). However, the term“accounts payable” must be established when qualifying a number of other acts, for example, such as unlawfulactions in bankruptcy, deliberate bankruptcy, fraud associated with deliberate failure to fulfill contractualobligations (parts 4 and 5 of article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). In this article,the author, on the basis of a comprehensive analysis of the economic content, civil law regulation and thespecifics of criminal law application, proposes his own approach to establishing the content of the conceptof “accounts payable”, which can be useful both in developing a model of effective criminal law protectionof economic activity, and and in the process of law enforcement.

The article examines the etymology and prehistory of the introduction of the institution of antimonopoly compliance in Russian business practice, the relationship of this institution with the institution of general compliance. The article considers the definition of the concept of antimonopoly compliance, enshrined in the new article 91 of the Federal Law "On Protection of Competition".The authors propose their own definition of the concept of antimonopoly compliance as an activity of an economic entity aimed at ensuring compliance with antimonopoly legislation by employees of an economic entity and an economic entity as a whole by preventing and suppressing violations of the requirements of such legislation and regulatory legal and law enforcement acts based on it.The authors also substantiate the advisability of developing a special national standard GOST R "System of internal compliance with the requirements of antimonopoly legislation (antimonopoly compliance system) of an economic entity".It is noted that the effectiveness of the antimonopoly compliance system will depend not only on the ability of an economic entity to form an antimonopoly compliance system on the basis of an appropriate national standard, but also on the state's ability to determine and guarantee effective incentives to comply with antimonopoly legislation.The authors substantiate the advisability of supplementing the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation with provisions that provide for the obligation and limits to reduce the amount of punishment or replace the punishment with a softer one in the event of an anticompetitive administrative offense by a person who has implemented an effective system of antimonopoly compliance.

Having studied the opinions on this issue of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, a number of procedural scholars, the authors propose their own version of the definition of the concept of «criminal procedural costs» with its allocation in a separate paragraph of Article 5 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation.

The article raises the following topical problems currently inherent in the institution of real estate in theRussian Federation: the unsuccessful legal definition of a real estate object, enshrined in Art. 131 of the CivilCode of the Russian Federation; qualification of objects as immovable and, accordingly, delimitation of themfrom movable ones; the emergence of objects with a controversial legal regime; the need to move from themodel of “plurality” to the model of “unity” of real estate objects. Also, the authors of this article analyzea number of approaches aimed at resolving the above problems and the possible consequences (both positiveand negative) of their implementation in practice, put forward their views and offer their own solutionto these problems. A variant of the legalization of “disputable” objects is proposed by introducing the rightof construction into the civil law of the Russian Federation as a limited property right to use a land plot withthe extension of this right to everything that is being built on such a land plot. The examples of legislativeregulation of the right to build in the civil law of pre-revolutionary Russia are considered, the elements of theright to build in the current law of the Russian Federation are revealed.

Administrative Responsibility

The present article is devoted to problem aspects of administrative responsibility for illegal remuneration on behalf of the organization in the Russian Federation. In the article on the base of law-enforcement practice are analyzed suggestions for improvement of legislative mechanisms of involvement organizations to responsibility for the corruption offenses made from a name or in interests of such organizations. Carrying out researches on the designated subject is provided by the National plan of corruption counteraction for 2014—2015. In Russian law-enforcement practice there are a lot of cases when the organization actively assists in criminal prosecution of the guilty person. However, judges make the organization responsible. Considering the big sizes of sanctions provided by this article, the situation is perceived as injustice and doesn´t promote achievement of the objectives of administrative responsibility. In this regard authors developed the special bases of releasing organization from responsibility in cases when governing bodies actively promote disclosure and investigation of the criminal offence made by interested person.

Introduction: of all the instruments of protection of subjective property rights, the fundamental role belongs to the institute of indemnification, whose regulatory framework needs to be clarified. The purpose of this paper is comparative description of the important legal aspects of the main type of property liability. In accordance with the purpose, the following objectives were set: to determine the extent to which legal provisions of general regulations on obligations laid down in the Civil Code of the Russian Federation should or can be applied to claims for damages; to formulate the proposals for improving the indemnification court practice. Methods: the methodological framework of the study consists of specific scholarly (special legal, comparative legal) and general scholarly (problem-theory, teleological, and system) methods of analysis. The main trends in the development of the institute of liability and the debatable aspects reflected in the Russian and foreign documents were studied with the use of the problem-theory and system analysis methods. Results: being a summary overview of the available knowledge and comparative regulatory material, this paper allowed us to articulate the ideas aimed at improving the fundamental principles of legal regulation of relations in the sphere of protection of subjective rights, in particular indemnification. Discussion: indemnification is a developing major institute of civil law, invariably attracting the attention of scholars around the world. Lately it has taken on special significance and some of its aspects have become a focus of a separate field of scholarly discussion. Many Russian scholars have written about indemnification in a comparative aspect: О. N. Sadikov, V. V. Baibak and others [2, 15]; this paper focuses on the reform of Russian law of obligations and the new provisions of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation of March 8, 2015 and reveals the consequences of the reform for the institute of damages, discussing this topic in detail as a separate standalone issue. Conclusion: we hope that this paper will contribute to further discussion in the civil law doctrine of the ideas and conclusions presented.

Loan Commitment

In the current Russian civil law, the loan agreement is one of the central institutions of the Russian law of obligations, since if payment for the goods and its transfer are separated by a temporary interval, there is a loan from one party to another. The same applies to the payment deferment or advance payment for the works (services). A similar situation can arise in almost any contractual construction, when one participant in a commodity turnover transfers to another some goods, performs works, renders services with the condition of returning their equivalent and, as a rule, paying remuneration. Consequently, the scope of application of the norms of paragraph 1 of Chapter 42 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation is much broader than just a loan agreement. Loan and credit agreements refer to the "credit" concept in the economic sense. In civil law, the “credit” category is used in the narrow sense as an obligation from a credit agreement and does not cover all the above relations. Thus, the “credit” concept cannot be considered as a general concept in relation to all cases of the value transfer from one subject to another. From the point of view of the law, the “loan” category corresponds to the “credit” category in the economic sense. In this regard, the clarification of the place of borrowed obligation in the system of the Russian law of obligations is of great theoretical and practical importance.

The article is dedicated to the famous Russian historian and legal expert Doctor of History Dmitriy O. Serov and a brief analysis of his studies concerning the establishment and development of the Russian law enforcement authorities in the first third of the 18th century: courts, prosecutor’s office, fiscal service, investigative authorities. Having started his scientific activities from studies of history of the spiritual life of the Russian society from the 17th to the 18th century, D.O. Serov then moved on to the legal aspects of history of the 18th to the 20th century, history of the personnel of the national government machine focusing on investigative authorities and was recognized in our country and abroad as one of the best experts of the Peter the Great’s epoch, specialist in history of the Russian law enforcement and judicial systems, leading scientist studying history of the Russian investigative authorities. D.O. Serov developed new areas of historical and legal research; identified, researched and introduced into scientific discourse many earlier unknown or briefly mentioned archive files including the Instruction to Major’s Investigative Chancelleries of December 9, 1717. The educational course History of the Russian Investigative Authorities was launched based on his research; a new professional holiday, the Day of an Investigation Officer of the Russian Federation, was introduced by Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 741 of August 27, 2013 (July 25, the day of establishment of the first M.I. Volkonskiy investigative chancellery); some memorable dates of history of the national pre-trial investigation were introduced (including December 9, the Day of Establishment of Major’s Investigative Chancelleries). D.O. Serov justified that the Russian investigative authorities originated in the form of investigative chancelleries. The basis for acknowledgment of such chancelleries as investigative authorities is their characteristics as an independent permanent government authority, designated to investigate criminal cases on the pre-trial stage, being the only function of this authority. D.O. Serov’s research showed that the reason for a short life of such authorities was not their low efficiency. Quite the opposite, major’s investigative chancelleries were in advance of their time and turned out to be misfitting even for the reformed state mechanism of Russia.
