The processes of development of government institutions in the Russian Federation have required the introduction of new mechanisms of legal responsibility of subjects of power relations in legislation. In recent times, the most significant practical interest is the problem of the early termination of the exercise of power of elected officials in legislative positions. The objective of the article is therefore to analyze the legal and political responsibility of the officials of the democratically elected state before their voters. In the process on the subject of the study, the formal-legal and comparative-legal methods were used, which allowed to formulate the following conclusions. The subjects of the above responsibility may be elected officials of the legislative (representative) bodies of state power. The constitutional status of elected persons exercising public authority on behalf of individuals suggests the possibility of terminating their powers as sanctions only on the basis of the rules of law enshrined in the relevant acts and establishing clear reasons and procedures for liability. The current legislation of the Russian Federation provides for various types of constitutional and legal sanctions. They consist of depriving elected officials of their powers.

The article analyzes various forms of protecting the right to a favorable environment, examines the concept of a form of protecting rights as a legal category. Based on the analysis of regulatory and scientific sources, the author has classified the forms of protection of the right to a favorable environment provided for in the law. Depending on the endowment of the subject carrying out the defense with the authority to use state coercion, the author identifies two large independent forms of protection: state and non-state. The author notes the legal uncertainty regarding the content of the right to a healthy environment, which complicates its protection. The positions of scientists who consider the right to a favorable environment in a narrow and broad sense are analyzed. Attention is drawn to the fact that the mechanism for protecting the right and the content of the right to a favorable environment are in organic unity and thus in the aggregate affect the formation of forms and methods of protecting the right to a favorable environment by a person. In conclusion, the author formulates the conclusions of the study, relying not only on the current legislation of the Russian Federation, but also on the established judicial practice, as well as on the scientific dogmas of Russian scientists in the field under study.

The article deals with the relatively new rules of Art. 434.1 the Civil Code of the Russian Federation on the conduct of negotiations. Taking into account the current wording of the said rule and the experience of foreign legislation on pre-contractual liability, the article argues for different theories justifying the nature of pre-contractual legal relations and liability and gives different positions of the authors on this issue. Proceeding from the doctrinal concept of obligation and characteristics of pre-contractual relations themselves the conclusion is made that these relations, firstly, are regulated by law and, secondly, they are not simply a legal relation but an obligation. It is based on certain actions of the negotiating partners that give rise to such an obliga-tion. As such, any action that is sufficiently certain (in some cases it may be required by law) and expresses the intention of the person to regard himself as negotiating with the addressee, who will in return perform the same sufficiently certain action, can be regarded as such. The specified characteristics of an action allow us to conclude that, from the point of view of classification of legal facts, this action is an act (because it is performed with a certain in-tention evident to other participants of civil turnover) and, moreover, it is also a transaction. Special rules of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation stipulate that the actions performed to enter into negotiations (for example, if the conclusion of a contract is binding on one party) or the actions of both partners entail legal consequences - the obligation to negotiate in good faith. The analysis of these legal relationships identifies three stages in their development, charac-terises them and attempts to answer more precisely the question of who can be a participant in the negotiation process depending on the stage of the negotiation process. The subject matter of an obligation arising during pre-contractual contacts will be actions aimed at negotiating and concluding a contract. The content of the obligation arising in the course of pre-contractual contacts, based on Art. 434.1 of the Civil Code will be the obligation to negotiate in good faith (paragraph 2 of the above rule). Assuming that the legislator provides an indicative list of actions that should fall within the scope of bad faith conduct, an indicative list of the "standard" of good faith conduct at the negotiation stage is given. This includes the obligation to provide full and truthful information to a party, including the reporting of circumstances that, due to the nature of the contract, must be brought to the attention of the other party (e.g. in a sale, all encumbrances on the subject of the contract must be reported). In addition, persons are obliged to negotiate only if they intend to conclude a contract, not to terminate negotiations suddenly and unjustifiably, and to take into account the rights and legitimate interests of the other party to the negotiation. The obligation under this obligation may also include a requirement not to disclose infor-mation obtained during the negotiation of the contract.

The Constitution of the Russian Federation assigns to the President a leading role in the system of higher federal bodies of state power, which requires clear grounds and precise procedure for temporary exercise of presidential powers. The Constitution assigns the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation as the subject authorized to temporarily replace the President in all cases when he is unable to fulfill his duties. At the same time, the constitutional norms do not regulate the situation when the duties of the President cannot be performed either by himself or the Chairman of the Government. The article discusses the issues of subjects that in the above case are authorized to legitimately assume the temporary exercise of powers of the head of state, and concludes that it is necessary to improve the norms of the Constitution of the Russian Federation in terms of expanding the list of subjects for temporary exercise of duties of the President and introducing constitutional control over the transfer of presidential powers, and to improve the legislation norms and their implementation practice in terms of regulating the procedure for the temporary fulfillment of duties of the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation.

This article is devoted to constitutional analysis of the most important principle of organization and activity of executive authorities in the Russian Federation - separation of powers.  The authors developed and justified the concept of an expanded understanding of the principle of separation of powers, with its reduction not only to the functional separation of state power between various levels of government (including within the executive branch), but with the development of a mechanism of checks and balances and the need to change the constitutional balance of priorities of the branches of government.

Settlement agreements in civil and arbitration proceedings are one of the most convenient and effective ways to resolve disputes arising between participants in civil legal relations. At the same time, within the framework of some civil disputes, the content of settlement agreements has significant specificity, and sometimes – due to the peculiarities of the subject composition and the merits of the case – they cannot be applied at all for the purpose of reconciling the parties. An example of such disputes are cases related to the recognition of the transaction as invalid and the application of the consequences of the invalidity of the transaction, the legal regulation of which is unique. The economic reasons for the invalidity of transactions predetermine the peculiarities of the content of settlement agreements in the relevant category of cases, limiting it exclusively to the procedure for fulfilling restorative obligations and obligations to compensate for losses. This circumstance is due to the fact that, from the point of view of the dynamics of civil legal relations, an invalid transaction introduces uncertainty in the ownership of property and the distribution of rights and obligations of the participants in legal relations, which can be eliminated only by restoring the situation that existed before the conclusion and execution of the transaction with a defect. The current civil law regulation in this part (Article 4311 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation), which allows the conclusion of analogues of amicable agreements in cases of invalidity of transactions involving other, in addition to restitution, the consequences of the invalidity of transactions, in this regard, cannot be recognized as satisfactory. Contestation of the transaction by “another person specified in the law” (Article 166 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation), as well as in the interests of third parties by specially authorized entities (procedural plaintiffs), the possibility of participation in a completed and executed transaction of public law entities determine the raising of questions about the possibility of concluding amicable agreements by these entities. It is noted that these subjects, as follows from the analysis of domestic civil, civil procedural, administrative and family legislation, being interested in resolving the case on recognizing the transaction as invalid and on the application of the consequences of its invalidity, do not participate in its execution, and therefore cannot determine the procedure for the fulfillment of obligations arising from it.
