The article is devoted to a little-studied side of authority, in particular the authorities of the President of Russia. Exploring the constitutional scope of power, we can say that the President of Russia has a sufficiently large amount of power, backed up by the legal provisions of the Constitution. However, in practice, it has turned out that not only their influence but the power of the President has a wider scope. First of all, the article notes the subjective grounds and mechanisms of power over the chairman of the government and the terms of his appointment. In this case, the key role is played by the political party United Russia, which was created by the President, although the President is outside the party system of Russia. A substantial expansion of the power of the President occurred as a result of the creation of federal districts and the formation of an institution of plenipotentiaries. The rationale is given that the change of legal norms for the election of governors, where the President plays the main role in nominating candidacy, and the procedure for registering them is entirely determined by the United Russia political party under his control, ultimately expanded the scope of authority of the President. In disclosing the subjective grounds for expanding the power of the President of the Russian Federation, so-called “approvals” of candidacy for various senior positions of state and municipal service, as well as of the security and control bodies play a part. The rating of the President was a massive subjective basis that allowed him to expand the scope of his power. The study of public confidence in the President allowed one to see the dependence of the expansion of his power on the level of his support by citizens of the Russian Federation.

Introduction: the emergence of such freelancing as remote labor meant the beginning of the process of the flexible virtual law formation. “Cloud computing” is coming into life. There appear the concepts of “working in the cloud” only in the virtual (digital) space, so the government program “Digital economy in the Russian Federation” of July 28, 2017, No. 1632-P adopted in the framework of the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of May 9, 2017 provided the need for the formation of a comprehensive legislative regulation of relations arising in connection with the digital economy development. At the same time, it is specifically noted that the labor market should be based on its requirements in order to create productive employment. Methods: the methodological framework for this study is the methods of scientific knowledge, among which the main ones are the methods of consistency, analysis and comparative law. Results: the paper is devoted to the existing problems of the legal regulation of digital technologies in labor relations for the expedient and empirical updating of many legal norms, from which in the future it will be possible to start, change and supplement it, adhering to a fundamental change in labor relations in order to develop non-standard and fruitful employment. Conclusions: as a result of the conducted research it is established that in the Russian Federation the labor legislation regulating the electronic legal employment relations is fragmented and does not contain all the elements of the legal regulation. There is a need for the legislation on archive business in electronic form, the widespread introduction of electronic employment contracts, which can serve as the basis for the electronic personnel records management. The labor legislation should contain the provisions on the equivalence of an electronic labor contract to a written form.

The article deals with social and political interactions between the population and the authorities. Modern conditions have transferred a significant part of interactions into a virtual environment, which forms new reactive forms of communication between the authorities and the population. The innovative processes taking place in the regions should reflect not only the institutionally set priority directions of development, but also the interests and requests initiated by the local population, and this enhances the reactive nature of interaction. The purpose of the article is to analyze the reactivity of social and political interactions between the authorities and the population in the context of the innovative development of regions (federal districts) of the Russian Federation. The authors analyzed two digital platforms: the Russian Public Initiative (www.roi.ru) and Change.org (www.change.org). They highlighted the topical thematic areas of social initiatives and political petitions in the federal districts and outlined the transformation of social and political interactions in the formation of directions for the implementation of open innovations in the regions of the Russian Federation. As a result of the study, the authors came to the conclusion about the coincidence of the topics of the population's requests and the implemented purposeful state strategic project activities, expressed in national projects. In the context of digitalization, the population builds socio-political interactions in the channels and communication tools set by the authorities, and also gets the opportunity to carry out parallel network and cloud communications, which make it possible to form new spaces for interaction with authorities in the country and specific regions. Civic activism and participation in innovation processes are demonstrated by: the growth of digital presence; participation of citizens in the network and «cloud» (including self-organizing) communities; formation of a network environment for discussion and methods of digital interaction with the government institutions in the regions.

The article is devoted to one of the current areas of legal science related to the problems of interpretation the norms of General Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The interpretation of legal norms is the activity of state bodies, non-governmental organizations and individuals to clarify and explain the meaning of legal norms embedded by the legislator in them and the actual content of the legal provisions (regulations, definitions) contained in them in order to implement them correctly and improve the effectiveness of legal regulation public relations. The interpretation of legal norms is a complex volitional process aimed at establishing the exact meaning of the rule of law. This process consists of two elements: 1) the interpreter (interpreter) clarifies the content of the legal norm for himself; 2) then in order to establish its equal understanding and application it clarifies the meaning of the legal prescription to all interested parties. The first part of this activity – clarification – characterizes the epistemological nature of interpretation aimed at the knowledge of law. Understanding acts as a thought process taking place in the mind of the subject applying the rule of law. The explanation is the second part of a unified process of interpretation the law addressed to other parties to a relationship. It is carried out by the competent authorities and persons in order to eliminate ambiguities in understanding the content of the norm and thus ensure its correct application to the circumstances for which it is aimed. Subjects of interpretation may be public authorities, officials, organizations, enterprises, institutions, individuals. The objects of interpretation are laws and regulations. Legal interpretation is an activity that from a practical point of view is connected with the completion of the regulation of life relations by law. Legal norms as a result of interpretation become ready for implementation, practical implementation. The presented scientific article examines the interpretations given by the highest judicial instance, which showed that in some cases they contain contradictions that violate the legal and technical rules. Examples of the interpretation of criminal court decisions of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation are given, and author’s editions are proposed.

This article discusses the questions of application of international treaties concluded on behalf of the Russian Federation, the Government of the Russian Federation, federal executive branches, or authorized organizations. The subject of this research is the constitutional norms of the Russian Federation and other normative legal acts that regulate the procedure for concluding, executing and terminating the international treaties of the Russian Federation, legal provisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, as well as scientific works on the topic. Special attention is given to the analysis of the constitutional principle that the international treaties of the Russian Federation are part of the legal system of the country. The author reveals the gaps in the current legislation of the Russian Federation specifying the constitutional provisions on the conditions for application of international treaties in the Russian Federation. It is established that the 2020 constitutional reform has improved the mechanism for protecting state sovereignty, and led to formulation of the constitutional-legal condition for application of the decisions of intergovernmental bodies adopted based on the provisions of international treaties of the Russian Federation. The article makes recommendations for the improvement of constitutional-legal regulation of application of international treaties of the Russian Federation. The conclusion is drawn on the existence of mandatory (compliance of the international treaty with the Constitution of the Russian Federation, its formalization, enactment, and consent to its universal binding), as well as optional (publication of domestic acts for application of the international treaty) constitutional-legal conditions for application of international treaties of the Russian Federation.

In 2017, the digital revolution reached a new global milestone: every second inhabitant of our planet was connected to the Internet. The Digital Economy Program approved by the Government of the Russian Federation in July 2017 aims to address ambitious tasks dictated by new requirements to the public administration system and the organization and structure of the state apparatus of the Russian Federation. The mission of implementing digital technologies in public administration should involve improving the quality of the latter, primarily the quality of public services and management of the implementation of national projects (programs) aimed at ensuring Russia’s economic growth.Aim. The presented study aims to determine priority areas and directions of public administration in the context of the implementation of digital technologies at the federal and regional levels.Tasks. The authors rank the constituent entities and federal districts of the Russian Federation by the extent to which the potential of digital technologies is realized in all aspects of national economic activity and identify the leading constituent entities and federal districts of the Russian Federation in terms of the implementation of digital technologies in public administration.Methods. This study uses general scientific methods of cognition and the scientific sociological quantitative method for ranking the constituent entities and federal districts of the Russian Federation in terms of the implementation of digital technologies in public administration.Results. The authors conclude that regulatory and legal acts need to be specified at the federal level in matters of project implementation in the context of digital technologies. With respect to the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the study identifies factors that affect the uneven development of digitalization, particularly the under-qualified staff, lack of project funding in regions, digital divide, and problems of creating a new regulatory environment.Conclusions. The development of digital technologies requires close cooperation between public bodies across all levels of the executive branch. It should be noted that the methodology of forming a digital government itself facilitates the establishment of the necessary conditions for addressing national economic challenges, including those associated with strategic planning based on unified digital information platforms. This aspect is crucial for the development of the Russian economy. Thus, digitalization should lay the groundwork for the further implementation of results-based management by the government.

The article considers the problem of corruptibility of legal rules. The author proceeds from the fact that some legal norms stimulate illegal corrupt behavior of participants in public relations. The task is to explain how corruptibility affects the generally recognized properties of the legal rules. The author describes the distortion of such properties of a “healthy” legal norm as formal certainty, general obligatoriness, systemic interconnection and provision with the state coercion power. We analyzed the “Methodology for conducting anti-corruption expertise of regulatory legal acts and draft regulatory legal acts” approved by the Government of the Russian Federation. We established the correspondence of corruptibility factors given in the Methodology to negative modifications of the properties of a “healthy” legal norm. We specifically considered various aspects of systematicity in the context of the concept of corruptibility. We revealed the interdependence of the properties of a corruptogenic norm. It is concluded that the primary textual uncertainty creates uncertainty in the consequences, destinations and systemic relationships of the corruptogenic norm, which is eliminated in the course of interaction between the corrupt person and the corrupt official. The corruptogenic norm, while not being essentially legal, continues to be provided by the state coercion power and remains connected with other norms and institutions that are part of the legal system until it is identified as corruptogenic, distorting their meaning and adoption purpose

The present study is aimed at investigating the relations between the basic individual values of Russians and their political behavior, which based on electoral behavior and electoral attitudes. In our study we use a method based on the theory of basic human values in order to understand by which universal human values Russians are guided and driven when choosing a particular candidate for the presidency of the Russian Federation. An empirical study based on the results of a representative survey in two Federal districts of Russia, held shortly after the elections. The empirical analysis showed basic values of respondents are related to their political preferences. The study showed that, firstly, the main opposition of values associated with the results of the election, is "conservation" — "openness to change". Secondly, voting for most candidates is associated with the values of "conservation", which indicates the absence of significant differences in the values transmitted by Russian policies. This paper considers which of the values are prompted the electorate to vote for each of the candidates (Putin, Zuganov, Prokhorov, Zhirinovsy, and Mironov). The article was prepared within the framework of the Basic Research Program at the National Research Univer- sity Higher School of Economics (HSE) and supported within the framework of a subsidy granted to the HSE by the Government of the Russian Federation for the implementation of the Global Competitiveness Program.
