Objective: Analysis of labor legislation on labor protection in the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China with the aim of constantly improving working conditions, ensuring safety and harmlessness of operations which are unsafe and harmful to health, mechanization and automation of heavy manual labor, as well as the implementation of safe and civilized production. Methods: An analysis of legislation on labor protection was applied in terms of employment, labor contracts, working hours and rest breaks, wages, labor protection, social insurance, vocational training, etc. Based on its results, negative and positive consequences of legislation on labor protection in China and Russia were identifi ed. Results: The constitutions and labor legislation of both countries contain the rights of workers to legal protection, including the right to work in conditions that meet safety requirements, there are standards for investigating accidents at work, and special attention is paid to the labor protection of women and children. It was revealed that in the Russian Federation, in contrast to China, a greater number of regulatory laws and regulations were developed, and special labor assessments were effectively regulated, therefore, the safety level in the Russian workplace is higher. Practical importance: In accordance with the legislation on labor protection, state bodies, economic departments, enterprises and their leaders at all levels must take various organizational and technical measures to create safe, hygienic and comfortable working conditions for workers which prevent and eliminate accidents, industrial poisoning and occupational diseases, protect the health and safety of workers, maintain and improve their long-term working capacity, avoid unnecessary losses of social labor and material benefi ts. Constantly improving labor legislation allows working safely and protects the legal rights of employees.

The subject. The article deals with topical issues of ensuring the realization of the employee's right to healthy and safe working conditions.The purpose of the study is to identify the main directions of improvement of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation in the field of labor protection.The methodology includes formal-legal method, the analysis of the components of the right to healthy and safe working conditions, as well as the right to information and related rights.The main results. The author formulates proposals for amending a number of articles of the Labor Code, including those containing the most important branch principles, as well as those on termination of the employment contract and ensuring the right of an employee to a workplace that meets the requirements of labor protection.Examples from judicial practice show a low level of legal awareness of Russian employers and their disdainful attitude to labor legislation. This is expressed not only in violation of labor protection rules, but also in the absence of proper registration of an employee, when a written labor contract is not concluded with him. Thus, the relationship between the norms of different labor law institutions is expressed, expressed in their protective potential. The existing approach to understanding labor protection in a broad sense to a certain extent may be in demand even now. For example, by improving the norms on the conclu-sion, modification and termination of an employment contract, it is possible to achieve in parallel a certain improvement in working conditions for workers. This is due to the fact that legal registration of employment in most cases is associated with a higher level of security, since an employee without clearance does not actually exist for the state control and supervisory bodies.Conclusions. Understanding of labor protection as all-round protection of labor capacity of the person, being so widespread in Soviet time, looks quite justified nowadays too. The Labor Code of the Russian Federation, as the central regulatory legal act, should be considered as an instrument not only of legal regulation, but also of a powerful ideological impact on domestic employers, and changes and additions to labor legislation concerning labor protection should be made according to above-mentioned conclusion.

The problem of abuse of rights in the criminal process is currently widely discussed by both researchers and practicing specialists. However, until today there has been no large-scale representative research of law enforcement practice or surveys of law enforcement employees focusing on this issue. The article analyzes some results of researching the practice of law enforcement. The study was conducted by the authors in 2016–2017 within the framework of the project «Abuse of Rights in the Criminal Process: Systemic and Non-Systemic Manifestations, their Prevention and Suppression». The authors studied archives of criminal cases, appeal and cassational proceedings, complaints filed under Art. 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, complaints from the archive of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, and published court judgments. The paper presents situations that were classified by law enforcers or could (according to expert evaluations) be classified as the abuse of rights by the criminal proceedings’ participants, the authors systematize the identified forms of the abuse of rights, evaluate the scale and character of these forms (systemic or non-systemic), determine causes and conditions that contributed to the emergence of some cases of the abuse of rights, describe measures of improving the criminal procedure legislation aimed at eliminating the causes of systemic abuse of rights, describe effective ways of preventing and suppressing some types of actual abusive behavior, argue that in some cases the abuse of legal rights is caused by the behavior of officials, and also that the state and law enforcers involved in a criminal case should show certain tolerance to the possible abuse of rights if it is not systemic in order to provide a maximally full legal protection of proceedings’ participants.

This article describes the periods of development of the legal institution of employment contract in Russia. The characteristic features for each of them are defined. The first period was the longest and was marked by develogment of the contract of personal employment as the origin of the modern institution of employment contract. In the second period, the contract of personal employment represented the institution of civil law, and later became the subject of study of the civil law science. At that time the industrial law of the country was forming. A distinctive feature of the third period was the adoption of codified acts, as well as differentiation in the legal regulation of labor relations of temporary and seasonal workers. The fourth period is characterized by changes in state-legal methods of economic management. With the adoption of the Constitution of the Russian Federation labor legislation was assigned to the joint jurisdiction of the Russian Federation and its subjects. It is concluded that the adoption of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation necessitates a more accurate study of the problems arising in the application of specific rules of law governing the peculiarities of labor of certain categories of workers (for example, labor relations with persons with disabilities are not yet perfect because of the youth of the labor law), conflict of laws issues arising in practice, contradictions that occur in a huge array of legal documents not only in labor law, but also in other branches of law.
