The diagnosis of HIV-infection conditions reconsidering by majority of HIV-infected individuals their identity and specificity of establishment of relationships in society considering new realities. The data related to social attitudes of mind of Russians to HIV-infected individuals obtained within the framework of original study, permitted to construct general concept about main characteristics attributed to representatives of this social group. The features of course of disease and its incurable character at the moment induce multitude of misgivings both in individuals with diagnosis of HIV-infection and healthy people that conditions wide-spread prevalence of negative and stigmatizing attitudes to HIV-infected people in modern Russian society. Nowadays, in Russians dominating attitude of mind to HIV-infected people still is intolerance against the background of inadequate awareness about problem of HIV-infection/AIDS.

The article analyses the present state of Russian society in the context of overcoming economic stagnation and activating the mechanism of economic growth. The author examines the possibility of mobilizing human capital; social attitudes and their dynamics; the institutional structure of Russian society, implicating the principles of solidarity and coordination of interests within the framework of various voluntary unions and associations.  The analysis allows the author to define the social conditions for the activation of economic growth as complex, ambiguous and requiring a significant adjustment of social policy. At the same time, there are certain manifestations of Russian society’s interest in self-development, consolidation, and more active socio-economic transformations. The social demand for progressive sustainable economic development being obvious, the government will be able to launch economic growth by shifting from a policy of social protection to a policy of social development, with adequate goodwill and flexibility.

В статье представлены результаты анализа наказуемости за одно из наиболее распространенных в последнее время в Российской Федерации преступление, предусмотренное ст. 282 УК РФ - возбуждение ненависти либо вражды, а равно унижение человеческого достоинства. В последние годы имеет место резкий рост количества осуждений лиц по ст. 282 УК РФ. Данная практика крайне репрессивна, не поддерживает одобрения в обществе, существенно критикуется и негативно оценивается даже властью, которая в последнее время предприняла действия по изменению сложившейся ситуации. Изменение структуры привлечения и осуждения лиц по ч. 1 и ч. 2 ст. 282 УК РФ - исчезновение квалификации действий лиц по ч. 2 - свидетельствует об изменении характера данных преступлений, способа их совершения, а самое главное - подходов к привлечению лиц к ответственности за совершение преступлений экстремистской направленности. Работа правоохранительных органов полностью переключилась с выявления, пресечения и наказания экстремистских деяний, совершаемых в реальной жизни, и на данный момент абсолютное большинство лиц, привлеченных по ст. 282 УК РФ, - это лица, допустившие те или иные высказывания» в социальных сетях. Ч. 2 ст. 282 УК РФ (квалифицирующие признаки, ее составляющие) на данный момент потеряли свою актуальность и не отвечают современным реалиям. Наказуемость за преступления, предусмотренные ст. 282 УК РФ, атипична по отношению к общей структуре применения наказаний в РФ за преступления в целом: за данное преступление осуждается к условному лишению свободы 61 % лиц, 11 % - к реальному лишению свободы. Данное положение вещей отражает ситуацию, когда дефиниция преступления по своему существу не отвечает ожиданиям современного российского общества, при этом внутреннее убеждение судейского корпуса также находится в определенном диссонансе. Современные российские реалии не позволяют судам выносить оправдательные приговоры в достаточном количестве, и судам приходится применять к лицам, по сути невиновным, наказания крайне незначительные или условно. По ст. 282 УК РФ данная тенденция явно прослеживается. Results of the analysis of punishability for one of the most widespread in the Russian Federation the crime provided by Art. 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation are presented recently in article there is an arousing hatred or hostility, and humiliation of human dignity is equal. In recent years the sharp growth of number of condemnations of persons according to Art. 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation takes place. This practice is extremely repressive, does not support approval in society, is significantly criticized and negatively estimated even by the power which took actions for change of a situation to the sphere recently. Change of structure of attraction and condemnation of persons according to Pt. 1 and Pt. 2 of Art. 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - disappearance of qualification of actions of persons according to Pt. 2 - demonstrates to change of nature of these crimes, a way of their commission, and the most important - approaches to involvement of persons to responsibility for commission of crimes of extremist orientation. Work of law enforcement agencies completely switched from identification, suppression and punishment of the extremist acts made in real life, and at the moment the vast majority of the persons involved according to Art. 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation are faces the allowed these or those statements on social networks. Pt. 2 of Art. 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (the qualifying signs, it making) at the moment lost the relevance and do not answer modern realities. The punishability for the crimes provided by Art. 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is atypical in relation to the general structure of application of punishments in the Russian Federation for crimes in general: for this crime it is condemned to conditional imprisonment 61 % of persons, 11 % - to real imprisonment. This state of affairs reflects a situation when the crime definition on the being does not answer expectations of modern Russian society, at the same time the internal belief of judiciary also is in a certain dissonance. Modern Russian realities do not allow vessels to pronounce justificatory sentences in enough, and vessels should apply to persons, in fact the innocent, punishments extremely insignificant or is conditional. According to Art. 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation this trend is obviously traced.

Relevance. According to US scientists, the percentage of people who do not know about their positive status is 20% of all people living with HIV. Moreover, this group provides 49% of new infections. Therefore, it can be assumed that information about HIV status has a significant epidemiological effect. Aim. To assess the change in risk behavior of HIV-infected persons after informing about the diagnosis and the frequency of occurrence of nonspecific symptoms of HIV infection. Materials and methods. For information on changing the behavior profile was developed, consisting of three sections. The first and third sections are aimed at elucidating the characteristics of sexual and drug behavior from the moment of probable infection to the moment of diagnosis, in comparison with the time period from the moment of reporting the diagnosis to the present. The second section of questions is aimed at determining the frequency of occurrence of nonspecific symptoms of early HIV infection. In the survey agreed to participate in 79 HIV-infected patients. The reliability of the results obtained was determined using the Wilcoxon Sign Test. Results. The message of the diagnosis of HIV infection contributed to the desire to abandon the systematic use of intravenous drugs. The proportion of people who denied drug use increased from 13 to 65% (p < 0.05). The number of people infected intensively (30 and more doses / month) using drugs has more than halved – from 38 to 17% (p < 0.05). The number of people denying drug use in groups increased from 10 to 45% (p < 0.05). From 55 to 12% (p < 0.05), the proportion of people who pass their syringe (needle) to another person to inject drugs has decreased. The number of persons who noted the presence of more than 5 partners per year after diagnosis decreased three times (p < 0.05). Only 23% of the respondents did not present any complaints in the period preceding the detection of HIV infection. Symptoms of acute respiratory disease marked 48%, 37% had fever, and other non-specific clinical manifestations of HIV infection. Conclusion. Communicating a positive HIV status to a patient reduces the likelihood of HIV transmission by drugs by 3–4 times and sexually by 2–3 times by changing risky behavior. Nonspecific symptoms of an acute viral disease before the detection of HIV infection were recorded in 48% of cases.

The paper dwells on the results obtained via examining dependence between HIV-infection spread and factors related to social environmental and social structure of population in RF regions. These factors are considered to be potential health risk ones. The authors tested a hypothesis about influence exerted by demographic, economic, cultural and behavioral de- terminants and public healthcare availability on differences in territorial spread of the disease within social-epidemiologic approach. To solve the set task, data that characterized 85 RF regions were taken from official statistical reports. Descriptive statistic analysis was performed and regression models were built up; it allowed testing whether the analyzed factors had their influence in RF regions and selecting the most significant ones to be included into the overall regression model. The research revealed significant contextual differences in HIV-infection spread. Regression analysis showed that 22.0 % differences in a number of HIV-infected people detected in RF regions occurred due to differences in urban popu- lation numbers, provision with ambulatories and polyclinics, and unemployment rate. Moreover, a number of registered crimes committed by minors determined 32.5 % difference in a number of patients with the first diagnosed HIV-infection between the examined regions. These results allow assuming that the greatest influence on spread of the disease in RF regions is exerted by conse- quences of urbanization; this process is usually accompanied with a growth in a share of urban population in a given region, instability on the labor market there as well as related migration processes within the country and wider opportunities to pursue individual behavioral strategies including those that involve law violations and/or are destructive for people’s health.

Study of crimes connected with implementation of extremist activity as negative social and legal phenomenon is especially significant now. Firstly it is connected with aggravation of the social conflicts in the Russian society in general, violence tendency and different illegal ways of their solution. At present stage of criminogenic situation development the number of crimes connected with extremist activity, terrorism and also with arousing hatred and hostility on the bases of sex, races, nationalities, the relations to religion, belonging to this or that social group grows in our country. Such crimes are most often committed by speech. This speech becomes proof of criminal cases connected with implementation of extremist activity. Acts provided by Art. 280, 282 2822 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation [4] belong to crimes of extremist orientation committed by means of speech. It is necessary to have special linguistic knowledge to ascertain the truth on specified cases. Such crimes are committed by means of speech - oral or written. Conclusions of experts’ researches are important not only for making decision on excitement or on refusal in initiation of legal proceedings, but also for correct qualification of criminal action. Analysis of law-enforcement practice of such crimes investigation shows that there are some problems connected with conducting linguistic examination at a stage of legal proceedings initiation. Inopportuneness of the investigator who sends material for carrying out a research which contains extremism can significantly increase time of legal proceedings initiation.

This article is devoted to a conceptual analysis of the impact of global constitutionalism as the dominant interpretation of the definition of social reality on the formation and development of social concepts in the Russian Federation. The object of research is the phenomenon of globalization on the socio-political, state-legal and financial-economic development of national societies and states highlighted in the social concept of global constitutionalism. The diversity of social concepts in Russia, although generally consistent with the Western interpretations of social reality, has a number of legal, ideological, political peculiarities. The formation of social concepts in Russia is greatly influenced by the Western dominant interpretation of social reality - global constitutionalism. And the attitude to the globalization of the socio-political, state-legal and financial-economic life of Russian society and the state is one of the signs by which it is possible to classify both modern Russian social concepts and political parties, movements, religious and public organizations at the federal, regional and local level.

Considering the question of the reaction of the value complexes of the modern Russian legal consciousness to the challenges and threats that modern Russian society has already encountered or will face in the foreseeable and not too distant future, the author starts from Arnold Toynbee's Challenges and Answers theory. Further, analyzing the Russian legal conscience itself, he is concluded that its structure can be objectively distinguished as the traditional (pre-revolutionary) component, Soviet and post-Soviet components too. They correspond to specific value complexes. With their domination in the minds of an individual, group or stratum, they determine their perception of major legal phenomena, the assessment of socio-legal processes and, naturally, one or another type of lawful or illegal behavior. Based on this, it is they who, obviously, will determine the social and legal perception of the challenges and threats that modern Russian society will have to face in the near future, and, naturally, the reaction to them. The article can be used to improve the state social and legal policy of the Russian Federation. Also, the materials presented can provide the interest of students, graduate students, teachers, researchers and other people who are interested in the current social, political and legal development of Russia.

В настоящее время эпидемиологическая ситуация распространения ВИЧ-инфекции остается осложненной за счет постоянного роста числа новых случаев заражения и высокого риска смерти от заболеваний, ассоциированных с ВИЧ-инфекцией, и СПИДа. Также остается напряженной обстановка распространения ВИЧ-инфекции среди особо уязвимых к заражению групп населения, к которым в соответствии со стратегией противодействия распространению ВИЧ-инфекции в Российской Федерации на период до 2020 г. относятся осужденные и лица, содержащиеся в местах принудительной изоляции от общества. При этом положения данной стратегии указывают на несоответствие современным требованиям обеспечения населения мерами по профилактике, оказанию медицинской помощи, социальной адаптации и реабилитации, а также социальной поддержке при ВИЧ-инфекции. Поэтому существует необходимость решения данных проблем путем внесения изменений в законодательство Российской Федерации для реализации прав и законных интересов ВИЧ-инфицированных, а также защиты человека, общества и государства от распространения данного заболевания. Одной из задач государства в сфере профилактики распространения ВИЧ-инфекции, в том числе в местах лишения свободы, является увеличение охвата ВИЧ-инфицированных лиц антиретровирусной терапией. Согласно результатам нашего исследования лишь около 30 % осужденных ВИЧ-инфицированных осужденных доверительно относятся к применению антиретровирусной терапии. При этом в уголовно-исполнительном законодательстве отсутствуют диспозитивные нормы, стимулирующие прохождение лечения, что в рамках государственной политики в сфере противодействия распространения ВИЧ-инфекции является упущением. С целью решения обозначенных проблемных вопросов автором предложены меры по стимулированию прохождения лечения осужденными к лишению свободы как в период отбывания наказания, так и после освобождения. Currently, the epidemiological situation of the spread of HIV infection remains complicated due to the constant increase in the number of new infections and the high risk of death from diseases associated with HIV infection and AIDS. The situation of the spread of HIV infection among particularly vulnerable groups of the population remains tense, which, in accordance with the strategy for counteracting the spread of HIV infection in the Russian Federation for the period until 2020, include convicts and people held in places of forced isolation from society. At the same time, the provisions of this strategy indicate that the modern requirements for providing the population with measures for prevention, medical care, social adaptation and rehabilitation, as well as social support for HIV infection are not in line. Therefore, there is a need to solve these problems by amending the legislation of the Russian Federation in order to realize the rights and legitimate interests of both HIV-infected people and protect people, society and the state from the spread of this disease. One of the tasks of the state in the field of preventing the spread of HIV infection, including in prisons, is to increase the coverage of HIV-infected people with antiretroviral therapy. Considering the attitude of HIV-infected prisoners to treatment, the results of our study allow us to conclude that only about 30 % of prisoners in this category trust the use of antiretroviral therapy. At the same time, there are no dispositive norms in the penal legislation that stimulate the passage of treatment, which is an omission in the framework of state policy in the field of combating the spread of HIV infection. Therefore, this article proposes measures to stimulate the passage of treatment by prisoners sentenced to imprisonment both during the period of serving the sentence and after release.
