This article attempts to define the meaning and contents of the concept «protest» as it exists in constitutional law. The author abstains from acknowledging «the right to protest» in Russia’s constitutional law system. Instead it is studied how the opportunities to express the protest against decisions, actions (or lack thereof) by public authorities can be implemented as the modes of substantive public participation. The author considers the differences between formal and substantive public participation while emphasizing that the Constitution of the Russian Federation avoids direct usage of such terms as «protest», «criticism», or «objections» with respect to both types of such participation.

The patent system of taxation is one of special tax regimes for individual entrepreneurs. The patent system is enforced by laws of subjects of the Russian Federation. The tax code provides certain powers of public authorities of subjects of the Russian Federation on the patent system of taxation, including the right to set the size of the potential possibility to receive annual income and its differentiation according to the established criteria in the tax code. In the Orеl region in the differentiation of the potential possible annual income to receive some criteria are not used, such as vehicle capacity and number of seats in the vehicle. We propose to use these criteria of differentiation in the regional legislation.

In article the question of validity of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and some other sources of the right which can also possess the highest validity is considered. In particular the author comes to a conclusion that legal positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation possess the highest validity and in total with the constitutional provisions represent the actual Constitution. On the other hand, both laws on amendments to the Constitution, and the universally recognized norms of international law on the validity stand below constitutional precepts of law. Acts of the Constitutional Assembly of the Russian Federation may in future be qualified as having the highest judicial effect. Such acts may abolish or change any provision of the present Constitution. At the same time the universally recognized norms of international law and the laws of the Russian Federation regulating amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation as independent juridical acts and sources of constitutional law are inferior as compared with the constitutional legal norms.

Every year the Russian Federation holds thousands of elections — primary, early, occasional, runoffs, etc. This article describes a great number of early election campaigns in Russia, reflects some discrepancies in the statistics, and also reveals some problems of an election process. The author touches upon the following points: 1) proves that early elections are called due to early termination of powers of the elected authorities and officials; 2) demonstrates a variety of the RF constituent entities’ legal approaches to determining of initiators of early election calling; 3) suggests an all-in-one approach to early election calling — by election committees. In her article the author uses statistical technique, comparative juridical and legal modelling methods. As a result the author proposes some amendments to the RF Federal Law “On Basic Guarantees of Electoral Rights and the Right of Citizens of the Russian Federation to Participate in a Referendum”. The author assumes that it is the election committees that should call for early elections, and not the elected public authorities or local governments.

The level of child poverty in Russia is almost twice the national poverty rate. According to UNICEF's definition, "children living in poverty are those who are deprived of the material, spiritual and emotional resources necessary for survival, development and prosperity, which deprives them of the opportunity to enjoy their rights, to reach their full potential and to participate as full and equal members of society". One of the reasons for child poverty in Russia is the evasion of parents living separately from children from paying child support. The total alimony debt in Russia reached 156 billion rubles in 2020 and continues to grow. According to Rosstat and the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation, one in five children under the age of 16, for whom there is arrears on alimony payments appointed by the court, does not receive money. That's almost 1.5 million children. The Family Code of the Russian Federation has established the right of every child to receive maintenance from parents, and children should not experience deprivation due to their parents' irresponsibility, otherwise society and public authorities should be obliged to take special care of children, who do not have sufficient means of subsistence. This algorithm of actions is also contained in paragraph 4 of Article 67.1 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation — the State takes over the responsibilities of parents in relation to children left without care. To achieve the national goal of reducing the level of poverty, fundamentally new approaches to the system of alimony recovery are required, including creation of a State Alimony Fund in Russia, as well as improving the value of the child's quality of life in the eyes of parents and society, strengthening the moral responsibility of parents for children.

On July 4, 2020, the provisions of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, provided for in Article 1 of the Law of the Russian Federation on the amendment to the Constitution of the Russian Federation No. 1-FKZ of March 14, 2020, «On improving the regulation of certain issues of the organization and functioning of public authorities» came into force. In this regard, it is important to improve federal legislation in order to bring it in line with the Constitution of the Russian Federation. It is necessary to amend a number of legislative acts of the Russian Federation defining the status of persons holding public office, including federal constitutional laws. For example, Federal law No. 79-FZ of 27 July 2004 “On the state civil service of the Russian Federation” appears to require a number of changes. First of all, it is necessary to clarify the duties of a state civil servant related to the presence (acquisition) of citizenship of a foreign state or a residence permit or other document confirming the right to permanent residence of a citizen of the Russian Federation on the territory of a foreign state. The restrictions provided for by the new provisions of the Constitution of the Russian Federation for civil servants need to be promptly incorporated into the legislation of the Russian Federation on the civil service of the Russian Federation.
