More than ten years ago, the Federal law #261 of the Russian Federation was put into effect. The said law established policies in energy savings and energy efficiency for national industries and the residential sector. In this paper, we analyze actual performance and major practical results of this law implementation which are mostly disappointing. The major goals set by the lawmakers were not achieved at this point as far as heat supply is concerned, including power generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption. Based on this conclusion, we analyze the reasons and offer some possibly effective solutions.

One of the key problems in the state of the Russian energy sector is the creation of effective energy­saving technologies for both organizations and ordinary consumers. The forecast of scientific and technological development of the Russian Federation for the period until 2030, approved by the Government of the Russian Federation, mentions low volumes of energy saving in the sphere of final consumption as one of the threats to Russia’s economic development. In 2009, the Federal Law No. 261­FZ “On Energy Saving and Increasing Energy Efficiency” was adopted. The corresponding Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 961 of September 20, 2014 prescribes the creation of a database on the most effective technologies used in apartment houses, administrative and public buildings. Federal Law No. 184­FZ of December 27, 2002 (as amended on July 29, 2017) “On Technical Regulation” establishes an imperative order, according to which technical and legal regulation in the field of application of energy efficiency requirements, requirements for lighting devices, electric lamps, used for lighting purposes, should be implemented at the level of the federal law approving the relevant normative legal act. However, as of today this federal law has not been adopted. The technical and legal regulation of lighting products is carried out fragmentarily, at the level of national standards. The adoption of a federal law that establishes a technical regulation for lighting products will effectively respond to the challenge outlined in Presidential Decree No. 208 of May 13, 2017 “On the Strategy for Economic Security of the Russian Federation for the Period until 2030” regarding the development of energy­saving technologies and reducing the material consumption.

THE PURPOSE. To analyze the materials of heat supply schemes for large cities of Russia, to consider the impact of an increase in the number of boiler houses in cities when planning the development and modernization of heat supply sources. To develop a methodology for choosing the structure of thermal generation in cities, which is distinguished by the use of an additional criterion for energy efficiency and a system of taken into account restrictions on the energy balances of the region. The weakening of attention to the overall energy efficiency of the aggregates of heat generation sources is shown, an additional reserve for increasing the energy efficiency of heat supply of cities is identified. METHODS. When solving this problem, methods of comparative analysis of the heat supply schemes of large cities of the Russian Federation over the past 7-10 years is used. RESULTS. The article describes the relevance of the topic, created a methodological base aimed at increasing the energy efficiency of heat supply systems in the city. A criterion is proposed that takes into account the different efficiency of sources and structural effects that are realized when choosing the composition of working heat sources for the prospective of urban development. The basic provisions, the relations used, the features of the developed methodology are given. A conclusion is drawn on the appropriateness and effectiveness of these proposals when testing this method. CONCLUSION. The developed method for choosing the structure of thermal generation was tested in the analysis of schemes of large cities of the Russian Federation. Efficiency on the example of the districts of Nizhny Novgorod ranged from 16.5 million to 180.0 million rubles per year.

The article is devoted to the study of modern theoretical and legal problems of ensuring biological security in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The published Draft of Federal law No. 850485-7“On biological security of the Russian Federation”provides an opportunity to take a closer look at the problem of legal provision of biological security in relation to the most vulnerable ecosystems, and, first of all, the Arctic. The article considers the most important features and potential risks of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation of critical importance from the point of view of biological hazards, the features (specificity) of biological safety problems from the point of view of organizational-legal features and, in particular, from the perspective of environmental law. It is proved that, given the special situation of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, in addition to the base Federal law“About biological safety” required a specific law on biological and ecological safety of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, which should be generated on a slightly different model than the draft Federal law «On biological safety”, to wear the most specific, applied nature.

The Law

The subject of this article is the problems of the nature, essence and purpose of prosecutorial activity. The purpose of the article is to study and justify the role of the human rights function in prosecutorial activities in the concept of a modern legal state. At the heart of prosecutorial activity is the implementation of the main function of the Prosecutor’s office – its rights and freedoms, their protection. This means that any type (branch) of Prosecutor's supervision is permeated with human rights content in relation to a citizen, society, or the state. This is confirmed by the fact that the Federal law “On the Prosecutor's office of the Russian Federation” establishes an independent type of Prosecutor's supervision-supervision over the observance of human and civil rights and freedoms. It is argued that the legislation enshrines the human rights activities of the Prosecutor's office as its most important function. It is proposed to add this to the Law “On the Prosecutor's office of the Russian Federation”.

Methodological Guidelines

Subject. The article focuses on the value added tax in case of exports from the special economic zone in the Kaliningrad Oblast. Objectives. We study methodological aspects of VAT in case of exports from the special economic zone in the Kaliningrad Oblast. Methods. We conducted the content analysis of available sources. The comparative analysis helped confirm the reasonableness, reliability and the relevance of methodological guidelines for determining economically adequate tax implications in terms of VAT in case of exports from the special economic zone in the Kaliningrad Oblast. Results. Importing foreign goods into the special economic zone of the Kaliningrad region and letting them pass the customs procedure of free economic zones, a Kaliningrad-registered legal entity was found to exempt from customs payments, including VAT as part of customs payments under the above procedure. Being transported to elsewhere in the EAEU, any goods in the free economic zone should be treated as foreign goods, unless their status as the EAEU goods is corroborated with documents. The effective tax and customs regulations provide for VAT to be paid on imports into the Russian Federation, including as part of customs payments, and subsequently VAT on the sale of goods in the Russian Federation. VAT on imports, inter alia, as part of customs payments is subject to tax deductions as per Articles 171, 172 of the Russian Tax Code. Conclusions and Relevance. The taxation mechanism herein is identical to that applying to exports from the free economic zone to elsewhere in the customs area of the EAEU if there were not tax clauses envisaged in Federal Law № 72-ФЗ. Hence, the above clauses seem reasonable to be excluded.

Based on the analysis of statistical yearbooks "state of contamination of soils and objects of the natural environment of the Russian Federation with pesticides and toxicants of industrial origin", analysis of the incidence of workers and the population from exposure to residual pesticides and heavy metals, the need to assess soil contamination for organic farming purposes in accordance with the requirements of article 9 of the Federal law of 03.08.2018 No. 280-FZ "on organic products and amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation"is justified. For evaluation, a digital technology is proposed in the management of environmental safety and labor protection in agriculture, developed by scientists of the ITOSH-branch of the FGBNU FNAC VIM. It is proposed to solve the problems of detoxification of soils contaminated with heavy metals and residual pesticides identified during the assessment using the available domestic and foreign experience by various methods: physical, physical-chemical, and biological.
