Abstract. The paper is devoted to the examination of the possibility of establishing a presidential republic in Russia after 1917. The authors have investigated the legal stance of the conservative-liberal and liberal-democratic camps in relation to the applicability of the American constitutional model for the organization of the highest executive power. The main part of the study is devoted to the analysis of the draft “Constitution of the Russian State” compiled by the Czech statesman Karel Kramář. The paper has examined the rules of the “Constitution of the Russian State” devoted to the legal status and powers of the Head of State. The study methodology includes such general scientific methods as analysis, comparison, techniques of logic, etc. Private legal methods allowed the authors to reveal and explain the meaning of the “Constitution of the Russian State” (the method of legal hermeneutics), as well as to compare the legal categories and institutions Karel Kramář used to form a presidential republic in Russia (the comparative-legal method). The authors conclude that the draft “Constitution of the Russian State” became one of the specific reflections of “white” constitutionalism.

The object of the study is the implementation of equality principle before the law by fixing equal rights and obligations of prisoners in the normative legal acts of the Soviet state. The subject of research: provisions of normative legal acts of the Provisional Government, departmental normative acts of the People’s Commissariat of Justice of the RSFSR and People’s Commissariat for Internal Affairs of the RSFSR. As a methodological basis for cognition, general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, de-duction are used, which allow us to investigate aspects of legal reality directly related to the implementation of the principles of penal enforcement (correctional labor) legislation, to formulate reasonable conclusions. Private scientific methods: formal-legal and comparative-legal – allow us to identify differences in the legal regulation of the legal status of prisoners in the pre-war period. As a result of the conducted research, we make a reasonable conclusion that the principle of equality before the law, although it was not enshrined in specific norms regulating the procedure for the execution and serving of imprisonment, however, was manifested in the provisions regulating the legal status of persons deprived of liberty. The notions of equality before the law of both citizens in general and prisoners in particular were not the fundamental basis of the legislation of the Soviet State. Prisoners were differentiated on the basis of social affiliation, due to: 1) the principle of class approach proclaimed by the Constitution of the RSFSR; 2) the functioning of two systems of places of deprivation of liberty for prisoners with different social status; 3) regulating the execution (serving) of sentences in the form of deprivation of liberty by various regulatory legal acts.

The development of constitutionalism in the anti-Bolshevik state formations during the Civil Period in Russia (1918–1920) is one of the most poorly studied historical and legal issues. In this regard, the purpose of this work is determined to investigate the influence of constitutional doctrines and teachings on the constitutional development of “white” Russia. The main at-tention is paid to the study of anti-Bolshevik legislator positions regarding the question of what the constitution of the future Russia should be – written or unwritten. We analyze the state legal views and scientific works of such lawyers as P.G. Vinogradov, V.A. Maklakov, S.A. Korf, I.A. Ilyin, L.A. Schalland and others. We prove that the representatives of the liberal-democratic and conservative-liberal legal thought played the primary role in solving this issue. The research methodology includes general scientific methods, such as analysis, comparison, methods of logic, etc. Private law methods made it possible to reveal and explain the meaning of state legal doctrines (the method of legal hermeneutics) and to compare the legal categories and institutions that the jurists of the specified period operated with (comparative legal method). In conclusion, we conclude that constitutional doctrines were an important part of the legal path of development of the “white” statehood.

Исследование проведено на материале шести рождественских посланий Филиппа VI, опубликованных на официальном сайте Королевского дома Испании. В работе применяются как общенаучные методы (описание, наблюдение, обобщение и систематизация), так и методы лингвистического анализа (лингвоидеологическая интерпретация, контент-анализ, дискурсивный анализ). Результаты и обсуждение. Рождественская речь анализируется в контексте политической риторики как нацеленный на публичное воздействие акт представительской коммуникации. Описываются конститутивные характеристики и коммуникативные детерминативы рождественских посланий Филиппа VI с 2014 по 2019 г. с учетом современного политического контекста Испании. Особое внимание уделяется используемым стратегиям и тактикам речевой манипуляции, обеспечивающим акт торжественного красноречия, а также центральным образам прошлого и настоящего, адресанта и адресата (общества), определяющим концептуальное пространство рождественского обращения. Научная новизна работы заключается не только в анализе коммуникативного и образного потенциала посланий монарха, но и в описании характерных признаков данного вида публичного выступления. Заключение. Рождественское обращение монарха представляет собой типичный пример направленного на воспитание определенных качеств торжественного красноречия. При этом глава государства выступает значимой общественной фигурой, обладающей правом не только толковать факты и события действительности (с целью сохранения единства нации и стабильности государства), но и обсуждать нравственные проблемы, основываясь на общечеловеческих ценностях как духовных скрепах социума. Рождественские послания Филиппа VI полностью соответствуют требованиям торжественного публичного выступления как особого коммуникативного события и характеризуются традиционным набором образов (адресата и адресанта), транслируемых ценностей (демократических и общечеловеческих) и стратегий речевого воздействия (стратегия самопрезентации, информационно-интерпретационная стратегия, аргументативная стратегия, агитационная стратегия, стратегия формирования эмоционального настроя адресата), подчеркивающих роль монарха как единственного хранителя и гаранта коллективной идентичности, процветания и стабильности государства.Introduction.

Legal scholars draw close attention to the issue of the content of normal business activities. It is still necessary to take into account not only the already systematized explanations of the higher courts on specific issues in every insolvency case, but also the dynamics of judicial practice and certain aspects of the debtor’s bankruptcy. A topical issue is whether transactions of a bankrupt debtor made during a period of suspicion and in arrears of payment can be classified as transactions concluded in the course of the debtor’s normal business activities. Purpose: to form a judgment on the conditions under which debtor`s transactions made during a period of suspicion and delay of performance may be assimilated by the court to its normal business activities.

The correct qualification of a crime provides the basis for achieving the goals of criminal liability, including sentencing a just punishment. During qualification, law enforcement agencies (investigative bodies, inquiry bodies, and court) often face problems caused by contradictions in criminal law regulation (a gap in law, defects in law, legal conflicts, evaluation categories of law, etc.). According to the authors, it is possible to eliminate the contradictions of criminal law regulation by applying the principles of criminal law as a direct regulator of criminal law relations. Purpose of the research: to identify the problems of qualifying crimes in the modern practice of preliminary investigation bodies and courts, as well as to determine the place and role of the principles of criminal law in the process. Framework of the research. The research was carried out with general scientific methods (dialectical, statistical, comparative legal); in addition, methods of analysis, deduction, synthesis, as well as a formally legal method, were used in the research. Conclusions: the authors draw the conclusion that the principles of criminal law should be considered as an independent fundamental form of Russian law.
