The article examines the formation and development of legal regulation of operational and investigative tactics in different historical periods. It was found that the beginning of the direct formation of the legal framework (development and adoption of circulars, regulations, orders, instructions, instructions) of operational and investigative activities (organization and tactics) dates back to the beginning of the XX century. It is noted that despite the presence of some gaps (problems) in the legislation governing the search (search) activities in the pre-revolutionary period, in general, the provisions enshrined in regulations of that time became the basis (basis) for improving and developing regulatory organization and tactics of operational and investigative activities in subsequent historical periods, especially in the Soviet period. It is emphasized that in the Soviet period the first legal acts of the Soviet government (through the VNK), regulating operational and investigative activities, were far from perfect and only partially regulated the organization of covert work and tactics of operational and investigative measures, which affected unsatisfactory state of counteraction to crime. According to the results of the study of special literature, during the existence of Soviet power, more than two dozen departmental regulations were adopted, regulating the organization and tactics of operational and investigative activities in places of imprisonment. At the same time, despite such a strong legal framework governing operational and investigative activities, including in penitentiary institutions, the legal grounds for operational and investigative activities were largely ignored, and the basic principles of law enforcement – the rule of law – were leveled. The period of 1950–1960 is characterized by the beginning of the formation of operational and investigative activities as an independent academic discipline. At the same time, despite such achievements, a significant number of prominent scientists continue to consider operational and investigative activities and their theory as part of criminology. Only in the early 70’s the scientific community recognized operational and investigative activities as an independent discipline. This was directly facilitated by the scientific research of famous scientists. During the 1970s and 1980s, in the scientific developments of prominent scientists (D. V. Grebelsky, V. G. Samoilov), in addition to discussions on the object and subject of operational and investigative activities, attention was paid to compliance with the fundamental principles of human rights and freedoms. time of operative-search activity (rule of law, legality). However, the excessive secrecy of operational and investigative activities and the lack of a codified act that would regulate its implementation at the legislative level, makes it virtually impossible for the subjects of operational and investigative activities to implement these principles in practice. A thorough analysis of the scientific literature and the results of the survey of respondents shows that the current Law on OSA is currently outdated, and its provisions do not comply with the provisions of the law. The prospect of further exploration is a study of the current state of legal regulation of operational and investigative tactics and prospects for its improvement.

The paper features legislative regulation of physical education and sports in different historical periods. The research objective was to describe the legal framework of the Soviet and post-Soviet periods in order to use the experience in modern conditions. The study was based on the following scientific principles and methods. The principle of scientific research made it possible to use of a wide range of published and unpublished archival documents and scientific sources. The principle of historicism allowed the authors to identify the state of legal regulation in various historical epochs, as well as the nature of the changes they underwent. The comparative legal method helped identify the nature of the legal framework, its content in the Soviet period, and the qualitative changes that occurred after the collapse of the Soviet Union. As a result, the authors identified a number of stages in the development of the legal framework in question. The period of the Soviet legal norms lasted from the mid 1980s to early 1990s. During the transitional period of the 1990s, Russia was actively searching for legal regulation: the basic legislation was adopted in 1993, and the Law itself entered into force in 1999. The third period began when the state law on physical education and sport was adopted in 2008. Soon after that, a similar document was released in Kuzbass. In this regard, the development of sports law is a system of legal norms that regulate relations in the field of physical education and sports at the Federal and regional levels. The results of the research can be used in the development of the regulatory framework by Federal and regional legislative bodies, the scientific community, and lawyers involved in sports and physical education law.

Starting with the early examples of legal regulation by positive laws, the history of pensions in Ukraine has been studied. It has been found that the history of pension regulation, along with theory, is an integral part of social security law since it illustrates the dynamics of legal norms, which in turn allows lawmakers to avoid errors and predict their consequences during law reforms. It has been proved that the history of social security law should cover not only pensions that were established in the territory of Dnieper and Sloboda Ukraine but also pension regulation in Western Ukraine. Taking into account the fragmentation of the Ukrainian lands in the second half of the 19th century and in the first half of the 20th century, historical development stages of pensions in these territories have been classified into the following periods: (1) during the Russian Empire, which included Dnieper and Sloboda Ukraine; (2) during the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary, which included Eastern Galicia and Bukovina; (3) development of pensions in Western Ukraine that was part of the Second Polish Republic during the interwar period; (4) pensions during the Soviet period; (5) development of pensions during the modern period (from the declaration of independence of Ukraine to the present day). It has been found that pension regulation in Western Ukraine during the interwar period was one of the most advanced in Europe since it was significantly influenced by Prussian (Bismarck’s) social law. It has been concluded that one of the features of pension regulation during the Soviet period was its discrimination that evolved from non-payments of pensions to some class enemies (the White Guards and their families, the nobility, the clergy, etc.) to discrimination based on profession (workers and peasants). Also, it has been proved that for the first time in the history of social security the latter was used by the Soviet government as an instrument in order to restrain and punish its own citizens. Four development stages of pension regulation, which was established after 1991, have been distinguished. The history of pensions has been defined as part of the social security law doctrine.

1 Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia The presented research reveals an approach to the construction of a legal mechanism for the functioning of payment systems. The proposed approach is based on the application of the principles of legal regulation. The purpose of a work is to determine the existing legal mechanism for the functioning of payment systems, identify its drawbacks and propose a new approach to legal regulation to ensure the proper functioning of payment systems. The proposed approach to legal regulation takes into account the specifics of the functioning of payment systems, which consists in the presence of three elements in its activities: institutional, procedural and organizational. These elements reflect the subject structure of the payment system, the process of providing money transfer services by them, and the ways in which payment system entities interact during providing payment services. Each of the elements must be defined within the legal framework of the payment system to ensure its proper functioning. The proposed principles of legal regulation take into account the features of these elements, in particular, the principles are classified into three groups, depending on the element they affect. The paper describes ways to implement the principles in the legal mechanism: the possibility of their direct application, depending on the type of significance of the payment system, is analyzed. It is also concluded that the implementation of the principles in the legal mechanism will reduce the regulatory burden on payment systems by using an approach depending on the level of significance of the payment system. The paper defines the role of the principles, which is that the principles allow to eliminate the legal gaps in the legislation on the national payment system, and prevent the emergence of new gaps.

This article analyzes the degree of demand for works of art (films and television films and series, literary and musical works, works of monumental art) associated with the history of the Great Patriotic War among contemporary students. This research is based on the combination of two theories, which study the dynamics and statics of culture in the society — the theory of the nucleus and periphery by Yu. M. Lotman and the theory of actual culture by L. N. Kogan. The four waves of research (2005, 2010, 2015, 2020) by the Russian Society of Socio¬logists (ROS) have revealed a series of works in various genres on this topic in the core structure and on the periphery of the current student culture; this has also allowed tracing the dynamics of demand and the “movement” of these works in the sociocultural space. The authors introduce the concept of the archetype of the echo of war. The high student recognition of works of all historical periods (from wartime to the present day) is shown. A significant complex of works has been identified, forming two contours of the periphery. Attention is drawn to the artistic work of contemporary students as a way to preserve the historical memory of the Great Patriotic War. This article explains the necessity of preserving the layer of national culture in order to reproduce the national identity in the conditions of informational and ideological pluralism of the post-Soviet period. The authors note the differentiation of youth due to the conditions and specifics of socialization in the polysemantic sociocultural space.

The article will examine the challenges that the establishment of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office poses for the rule of law – a question which has been underexplored in the policy and academic debate on the establishment of the EPPO, which focused largely on questions of structure and powers of the EPPO and the battle between intergovernmental and supranational visions of European prosecution. The implications of the finally adopted legal framework on the EPPO on the rule of law will be analysed primarily from the perspective of the rule of law as related to EPPO investigations and prosecutions and their consequences for affected individuals – in terms of legal certainty and foreseeability, protection from executive arbitrariness, effective judicial protection and defence rights. The article will undertake a rule of law audit of the EPPO by focusing on three key elements of its legal architecture – the competence of the EPPO, applicable law and judicial review – and the interaction between EU and national levels of investigation and prosecution that the EPPO Regulation envisages. The analysis will aim to cast light on the current rule of law deficit in a hybrid system of European prosecution located somewhere between co-operation and integration.
