The paper is devoted to the analysis of the issue of arbitrability of disputes involving consumers, which does not find an unambiguous solution either in law or in judicial practice. The author examines the positions of the highest judicial instances, as well as courts of general jurisdiction and arbitration courts on this issue, which are contradictory in nature. Having conducted a systematic analysis of legislation, legal science and judicial practice, given the special legal situation of the consumer, the author concludes that it is possible to have an arbitration agreement between the consumer and a person engaged in entrepreneurial activity, subject to certain conditions, in particular, the presence of the free will of the consumer to consider the dispute in the arbitration court and the absence of infringement of his rights in arbitration proceedings in comparison with the consideration of the dispute in the state court. The question is raised about the need for the administration of this category of disputes by permanent arbitration institutions. According to the results of the scientific research, changes in the norms of the legislation of the Russian Federation regulating the relations under consideration are proposed. Thus, it is proposed to word paragraph 1 of Article 17 of the Law of the Russian Federation “On Consumer Rights Protection” as follows: “Consumer rights protection is carried out by a court or an arbitration court”. It is also proposed to supplement Article 17 of this Law with paragraph 4: “Disputes involving consumers can be submitted to an arbitration court if all guarantees provided by law for the arbitration party are met for the consumer, provided that the following conditions are met: 1) the dispute must be considered during the administration of a permanent arbitration institution; 2) the consumer must be exempt from paying the costs associated with resolving the dispute in arbitration; 3) the place of arbitration must be determined within the subject of the Russian Federation in which the consumer resides.”

Rossinsky and A. A. Tarasov, the subject of which was the issue of the legal nature of a suspect detention in a criminal case. In the paper, the authors ask the following questions: What is the detention of a person on suspicion of committing a crime in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation? From what moment does the detained person acquire the status of a suspect? Is it possible to detain a person before initiating a criminal case? The study concludes that a person acquires the actual status of a suspect from the moment of direct detention, that is, before documenting this status and, as a result, before initiating a criminal case. Amendments to the articles of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation are proposed, and the authors` versions of the definitions of the concepts «detention of a suspect», «the moment of actual detention» and «pre-trial proceedings» are given.

The article analyzes various forms of protecting the right to a favorable environment, examines the concept of a form of protecting rights as a legal category. Based on the analysis of regulatory and scientific sources, the author has classified the forms of protection of the right to a favorable environment provided for in the law. Depending on the endowment of the subject carrying out the defense with the authority to use state coercion, the author identifies two large independent forms of protection: state and non-state. The author notes the legal uncertainty regarding the content of the right to a healthy environment, which complicates its protection. The positions of scientists who consider the right to a favorable environment in a narrow and broad sense are analyzed. Attention is drawn to the fact that the mechanism for protecting the right and the content of the right to a favorable environment are in organic unity and thus in the aggregate affect the formation of forms and methods of protecting the right to a favorable environment by a person. In conclusion, the author formulates the conclusions of the study, relying not only on the current legislation of the Russian Federation, but also on the established judicial practice, as well as on the scientific dogmas of Russian scientists in the field under study.

The purpose of Russian criminal proceedings, which is very important among the modern social and legal institutions, is nevertheless deficient in its legal and regulatory form. It is noted that in the modern situation, some formulations of the purpose of criminal proceedings have come into conflict with the real social and legal reality. Purpose: to resolve contradictions between the formulations of the purpose of criminal proceedings and the actual social and legal reality. Methods: the author uses the methods of dialectical and formal logic, comparison, description, observation, interviewing, experiment, analysis, interpretation. Results: a theoretical basis has been developed for the choice, in the event of a conflict between the formulations of the purpose of criminal proceedings and the actual social and legal situation, of whether to change the normative formulation of the purpose of criminal proceedings or whether to change the procedure itself. In choosing the subject of reform, preference is given to traditional Russian values. Modern trends in Russian criminal proceedings do not fully reflect the needs of civil society in the Russian Federation. It is more accurate to assume that this is the result of a system of departmental and bureaucratic measures to distribute influence and burden. From a humanitarian standpoint, it would be more correct to return the criminal justice system to a state where it will again reflect the lost purpose, in particular, protecting individuals from unlawful accusations. The first step should be to remove from law enforcement officials the obligation to be unilateral in the examination of evidence and to represent only one party – the accusation (Chapter 6 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation), as well as to remove the normative prohibition for the preliminary investigation and inquiry bodies to gather evidence defending the accused (Part 2 article 15 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation).

Raiding, along with corruption, has long been one of the most pressing problems for domestic business. For incomprehensible reasons, in contrast to the corruption crimes, which received due attention from the legislator and legal scholars, crimes committed in the stock market, after their reckless introduction, have been deprived of attention for almost a decade. At the same time, the most dangerous methods of raider seizures currently do not fall under criminal law prohibitions at all, and the existing prohibitions, in turn, have such a low legal potential that leaving this problem without atten-tion raises serious concerns. We consider the design and application of Article 185.4 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation – Obstruction or illegal restriction of the rights of securities holders, intended to become the “flagship” of anti-raiding legislation. Through a systematic analysis of the prescriptions of the criminal law and a few judicial practice, we identify the low quality of criminal law prohibitions included in Article 185.4 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, we establish and substantiate the impossibility of causing damage in the required amount, we prove the lack of practical need for the relevant norm, we formulate a proposal for its exclusion from the text of the criminal law in full.

To the question of the concept of the subject of corruption crimes related to receiving and giving bribes and other types of illegal remuneration Currently, the legal science has not yet developed a unified approach to understanding the subject of corruption crimes related to receiving and giving bribes and other types of illegal remuneration. The legal content of the subject of corruption crimes related to receiving and giving bribes and other types of illegal remuneration is disclosed in the dispositions articles 184, 290, 204, 2005, 2007 of the criminal code of the Russian Federation, which include money, securities, other property, property services and other property rights. At the same time, it remains an open question whether old-style banknotes and coins withdrawn from circulation, but subject to exchange, counterfeit money, or other property seized or restricted in circulation can be classified as such. Based on the study and analysis of judicial practice, the article presents the author’s approach to solving this problem and suggests measures to improve the current legislation.
