Legal procedures in a state governed by the rule of law are a kind of guarantor of legality and protection of citizens' rights, and therefore issues related to the development and improvement of the procedural mechanism are among the top priorities. The procedural mechanism is the most important structural element of the legal regulation system, which includes entire procedural branches. The article substantiates the need to develop and legislate procedures within which actions can be carried out to reconcile and make amends for harm, compensation for damage or otherwise make amends for harm (since gaps and shortcomings in the legislation associated with the lack of procedural mechanisms do not allow to fully realize the human rights potential of Articles 25, 25.1, 28 Part 1, 28.1 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation), as well as the need to classify these procedures (which has not been previously carried out). The author proposes to divide such procedures into conciliatory and restorative ones. The author's definitions of conciliation and restorative procedures in pre-trial proceedings are given.

The article is devoted to one of the current areas of legal science related to the problems of interpretation the norms of General Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The interpretation of legal norms is the activity of state bodies, non-governmental organizations and individuals to clarify and explain the meaning of legal norms embedded by the legislator in them and the actual content of the legal provisions (regulations, definitions) contained in them in order to implement them correctly and improve the effectiveness of legal regulation public relations. The interpretation of legal norms is a complex volitional process aimed at establishing the exact meaning of the rule of law. This process consists of two elements: 1) the interpreter (interpreter) clarifies the content of the legal norm for himself; 2) then in order to establish its equal understanding and application it clarifies the meaning of the legal prescription to all interested parties. The first part of this activity – clarification – characterizes the epistemological nature of interpretation aimed at the knowledge of law. Understanding acts as a thought process taking place in the mind of the subject applying the rule of law. The explanation is the second part of a unified process of interpretation the law addressed to other parties to a relationship. It is carried out by the competent authorities and persons in order to eliminate ambiguities in understanding the content of the norm and thus ensure its correct application to the circumstances for which it is aimed. Subjects of interpretation may be public authorities, officials, organizations, enterprises, institutions, individuals. The objects of interpretation are laws and regulations. Legal interpretation is an activity that from a practical point of view is connected with the completion of the regulation of life relations by law. Legal norms as a result of interpretation become ready for implementation, practical implementation. The presented scientific article examines the interpretations given by the highest judicial instance, which showed that in some cases they contain contradictions that violate the legal and technical rules. Examples of the interpretation of criminal court decisions of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation are given, and author’s editions are proposed.

AbstractThis article takes as its principal question whether the Russian protection of freedom of religion in law and practice is compatible with the model created by Strasbourg jurisprudence. Considering freedom of religion as a keystone of the Strasbourg model of democracy and in light of increasing concern and uncertainty at democratic progress in the Russian Federation, the article attempts to isolate the realities of the situation in relation to this unique right. It considers both systems in law and their operation in a broader social context and finally considers issues of compatibility between them. In its conclusion, the author argues that, although the Russian Federation's legal framework establishes a similar model of protection to that of Strasbourg, this framework has been manipulated and diminished in importance by, and because of, extralegal relationships (particularly between the state and the Russian Orthodox Church) to the point where it is impossible to say that the systems are compatible. Further, the author suggests that the fact that these extralegal relationships can play such a role shows deep fissures in the rule of law in this area. This is indicative of wider problems relating to domestic rule of law generally and is therefore indicative of problems relating to foundational democratic principles.

However, in practice, quite often there are certain difficulties that arise due to departmental and regional rulemaking.

В статье на основе решений Конституционного Суда Российской Федерации анализируются конституционная природа выборов и их роль в обеспечении народного представительства. Опираясь на сформулированные этим Судом правовые позиции, авторы исследуют конституционные стандарты выборов в демократическом правовом государстве, не оставляя без внимания наиболее «узкие» места современной российской избирательной системы. Так, авторы рассматривают проблемы реализации как активного, так и пассивного избирательного права, такие как «муниципальный фильтр» на выборах высшего должностного лица субъектов Российской Федерации, информатизация избирательного процесса, использование избирательного залога, создание избирательных блоков, судебное обжалование результатов выборов по обращениям избирателей. This article is based on the decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation; it analyzes the constitutional nature of elections and their role in en-suring popular representation. Based on the legal positions formulated by this Court, the authors examine the constitutional standards of elections in a democratic state based on the rule of law, without disregarding the most bottlenecks in the modern Russian electoral system. Thus, the authors have reviewed the problems of realizing both active and passive voting rights such as the “municipal filter” in elections of top official of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, informatization of the electoral process, the use of electoral deposit, complaints creation of electoral blocs and judicial review of election results based on voters' complaints.
