Article deals with general characteristic of current state of the Russian theory of law, which is examined in the unity of such aspects as philosophy of law, sociology of law and legal dogmatics. In author’s opinion, prospects for development on each of these directions should be determined by the main social demand, inverted to the theory of law, which consists of development of criteria of distinguishing law from arbitrariness, exercised in the form of law. For the philosophy of law the main direction of efforts should be connected with development of general doctrinal type of understanding of law, which would correspond to a human-centric legal ideology, assumed as the basis of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The task of sociology of law is seen, first of all, in development on the basis of such understanding of law of theoretical-methodological basis for study of social conditionality of legislation and efficiency of its application. The proper transfer of the results of philosophical and legal and legal and sociological studies, conducted within the framework of the theory of law, at the level of law-making and law enforcement practice requires the development of an adequate legal dogmatics. The author substantiates the need for development of the human-centric dogma of the Russian law as such a system of legal-dogmatic constructions, which would specify the principle of human rights priority. Special attention is paid to disclosure of cognitive potential of libertarian juristic type of understanding of law in respect of each of the chosen directions of theoretical and legal studies.

Women comprise nearly half of world’s migration. They are particularly vulnerable, thus their rights, interests, and special needs must be protected. In the period from 2016 to 2018, the Russian Federation has become one of the active participants in the development of international acts on refugees and migrants, which contain provisions aimed at feminization of migration related issues. These acts are not legally binding; however, Russia along with other countries that have joined this initiative, conducts the activity on implementation of internationally ratified principles into the national legislation. The article provides the results of snap analysis of the federal acts adopted in the period of December 2018 – March 2021, which was performed for pilot assessment of the current state of Russian law from the perspective of gender sensitivity and presence of favorable conditions for solution of the problems pertaining to feminization of migration. It was essential to understand whether the effective normative legal acts “see” a migrant woman as a special legal phenomenon, and which specific characteristics and needs of women are reflected in these acts. The conclusion is made that the Russian legislation is currently of gender neutral nature. Other than a range of documents related to implementation of the National Strategy for Women 2017 – 2022, the gender sensitivity of federal acts is generally low. The documents included into sampling, for the most part reflect the specific biological characteristics of women, which determine their health needs, as well as the need for targeted social support due to childbirth and maternity leave. The analyzed international acts have a broader outlook upon the characteristics and needs of women in general and migrant women in particular than the Russian legislation (other than the National Strategy for Women).

Introduction. The article is devoted to the study of possibility and conditions of the foreclosure on the only housing in the citizen bankruptcy case and the need to improve Russian legislation that regulates these relations. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to analyze the current state of the problem of the foreclosure on the only housing in the citizen bankruptcy case, to identify deficiencies of the legislation that regulates these relations, taking into account the need to achieve a balance of citizens right to be provided with housing and his creditors rights, conscientiously interested in the most complete satisfaction of their requirements in bankruptcy case and suggest the improvement of these legislation. Methodology. To achieve the purpose both general and private scientific research methods were used, in particular, methods of scientific analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, functional and systemic methods, formal legal and comparative legal methods, methods of interpretation of law and legal forecasting. Results. Higher courts of the Russian Federation recognized the possibility of derogating from the maxim on the inadmissibility of the foreclosure on the only housing established by the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation. This requires introducing into Russian law a mechanism of the foreclosure on the only housing, which allows protecting the rights of creditors and, at the same time, preserving sufficient guarantees of the citizen’s right to housing. Conclusion. Despite the relevance of the foreclosure on the only housing, it should be recognized that the corresponding task is not easy to solve. However, in judicial practice (especially in bankruptcy cases) there has been a tendency to deviate from the idea of comprehensive executive immunity in relation to a single dwelling, which will inevitably be reflected in the current procedural and bankruptcy laws. At the same time, any regulation of these relations should presuppose judicial control in the sphere of issues relating to foreclosure on the only residential premises. In any case, the improvement of the legislation should not put a citizen in a difficult social situation and lead to a violation of his constitutional right to housing.

A detailed analysis of the project data showed that the structure of the projects is deformed in favor of the central regions of the Russian Federation, and a significant share in the total amount of financing falls on the transport sector. At the stage of assessing the level of development by the subjects of the Russian Federation, criteria were proposed, and index and integral indicators were used, which ensured comparability of the estimates obtained. At the end of the analysis, the regions were ranked and clustered according to the level of PPP development, which allowed to reveal the number and structure of leaders and outsiders.

The article notes that the growing popularity of healthy lifestyles contributes to the increase in consumption of fruits and berries. At the same time, the analysis of the dynamics of the gardening industry for 2000-2018 shows that the problem of providing fresh fruits and berries to the population remains one of the most important. Based on actual data, linear and logarithmic models of time series of key industry indicators for the period 2010 – 2019 have been compiled. Calculations showed that in the Russian Federation as a whole the trend of reduction of sown areas of perennial fruit plantations will continue with growth of yield and gross fees. In this regard, the issues of distribution and introduction of gardens of intensive type are updated. An overview of the views of domestic scientists-gardeners on the concept of “intensive garden” is given. It has been established that the distribution of intensive gardens is possible only if there are favorable natural and climatic conditions and a developed scientific and production base of nursery management. The current state and problems of gardening in one of the leading regions – the Republic of Dagestan - are considered. A significant technological lag of region in the further development of intensive horticulture has been identified. Various directions of intensification process in horticulture as the main and necessary condition of growth of efficient and sustainable production are summarized.
