The article analyzes the changes in the legal regulation of the house arrest and the practice of its imposition. Particular attention is given to the controversial issue of the right of the accused under house arrest to leave the premises for a walk. The authors note that the Normative Transformation of House Arrest, which brought it closer to detention, set the law enforcement task to overcome the established stereotypes in the interpretation of specific provisions related to the essence of this preventive measure. First, it concerns the “regime” of isolation, specifically, the possibility of the accused to take walks. Today, when the house arrest implies ultimate isolation of the accused with the right to live in their home, the court’s permission for the accused to leave the place of residence is not based on the law. The authors conclude that the positive decision of the court is permissible only because of applying the law by analogy. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the legal positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation on the responsibility of the state to take care of the health of persons whose possibilities in this part are limited due to the election of preventive measures with isolation from society.

Analyzing the place and role of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation in the institutional system of national and supranational jurisdictions, there is the author’s approach to the study of this institution in particular through the prism of the so-called constitutional paradoxes (“godly sins”) of the constitutional justice. Among them: legal involvement of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation in the resolution of important constitutional questions at the intersection of law and policy; entering into the system of justice and at the same time transcending it as the trial of the government and the law; the legal force of the final acts, which are not laws, can be above the law; the stability of the Constitution in conjunction with socio-historical dynamism, the problems of guaranteeing its supremacy in collaboration with supranational jurisdiction, the need to ensure by the constitutional justice of the Constitutions’ supremacy in collaboration with the international-legal regulation and supranational jurisdictional practices. The article explains that the status characteristics of the national organs of constitutional justice, manifested in the contemporary world order and in relations with bodies of international jurisdiction, have a constitutional good nature and serve as a confirmation of the special role of these bodies in the justice system in modern constitutional democracies.


The Russian Prosecutor’s Offie carries out its activities in the main areas stipulated by the Federal Law «On the Prosecutor’s Offie of the Russian Federation». Despite the specifis of each of these areas, the work of the Prosecutor’s Offie here is characterized by actions of prosecutors provided by law and carried out in the manner prescribed by law. These actions can be described as legal means of the prosecutor aiming at maintenance of legality. Nevertheless, there is no defiition of legal means of the prosecutor in the Russian legislation. Academic approaches to understanding this institution vary considerably as well. The article aims to analyze the scholars’ views on the legal means of the prosecutor, to give its defiition and to classify it. The authors point out that in the Russian law and legal studies there is a lack of unity of understanding key concepts such as powers of the prosecutor, legal means of the prosecutor, and legal means of the prosecutor’s response. The article discusses the topical issues of the concept and essence of the legal means of prosecutors used in supervision over the implementation of laws and non-supervisory functions of the prosecutor’s offie; means of detecting violations of the law; legal means of prosecutorial response to identifid violations of the law; acts of prosecution response; problems of the powers of the prosecutor in exercising supervisory and non-supervisory functions, rights and opportunities of the prosecutor; principles and characteristics of the legal means of the prosecutor, including the means of identifying violations of the law and the means of the prosecutor’s response to the violations of the law, classifiation of legal means. Recommendations on improving the Russian legislation are given.

Due to the new coronavirus pandemic, high alert regimes were introduced across the Russian Federation in spring 2020. These emergency regimes were established exclusively by the state bodies of the Russian Federation’s constituent units – federal authorities did not introduce their own emergency regimes. This decentralized strategy of fighting the pandemic was also introduced by the USA and Brazil. Their states, without the sanction of the federal government, and in the case of Brazil, ignoring its bans, set emergency restrictions similar to those in Russia. The legal regulation of emergency regimes existed before 2020, when constituent units of the federation (states) actively used their emergency powers. However, the regimes introduced during the fight against the pandemic were slightly different to previous ones. The restrictions on rights and freedoms within these regimes were so severe that not only their proportionality was questioned, but there were also doubts as to whether the regional level of the government had the authority to establish such strict restrictions. In addition, the pandemic exposed old problems and revealed new shortcomings in the legal regulation of emergency regimes: lack of control over the realization of the emergency regime by legislative (representative) authorities, and gaps in legislative regulation – notably in the establishment of possible restrictions and of a mechanism for scrutinizing their proportionality. All this raised questions about the proportionality of the established restrictions. The Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation resolved a very insignificant amount of the problems. While the United States and Brazil faced similar issues, the practice of scrutinizing implemented restrictions in these countries was more common. This article takes domestic and foreign experiences into account, while examining certain aspects of the establishment and the operation of regional emergency regimes.

  The purpose of this article is to identify the features of restriction of ownership on the subjects of technology transfer regarding production of medicines and the right to run business on the import of medicines in conditions of conflict and temporary occupation. The methodological basis of the conducted research is the general methods of scientific cognitivism as well as concerning those used in legal science: methods of analysis and synthesis, formal logic, comparative law etc. When determining the legitimate purpose of restriction, it is necessary to apply the principle of proportionality, which is the concordance of measures applied to the above entities in order to limit the exercise of their rights with those public values that are protected by such restriction. On the procedural level, the State having realized the right for withdrawal has to comprehensively inform the General Secretary of the Council of Europe as for the measures taken and the reasons for them, as well as the time when those measures have ceased to apply and the provisions of the Convention are profoundly applied again. As the case law of the European Court of Human Rights shows, the derogation from the obligations under the Convention must have territorial and temporal specifications. The following features of the constitutional and legal regulation of restriction of property rights for subjects of technology transfer to the production of medicines are revealed: 1) restrictions on the implementation of these rights should be provided by the law, which must meet the following requirements: clarity, accuracy, accessibility; 2) the measure is a temporal one; 3) the range of entities in respect of which it is applied to are the subjects of technology transfer being residents of the aggressor country; 4) legitimate purpose of implementation is protection of public values (national security, life and health of persons staying on the territory of Ukraine, territorial integrity, etc.); 5) necessary in democratic society. The following features of the constitutional and legal regulation of restrictions on the right for running business activities regarding import of medicines during conflict and temporary occupation of the part of the territory of Ukraine by the Russian Federation are revealed: 1) restrictions on the exercise of these rights are provided by the Law of Ukraine “On Foreign Economic Activity” from 04.07.2017 №18.1-07/18369, which meets the following requirements: clarity, accuracy, accessibility; 2) the measure is temporal one; 3) the range of entities in respect of which it is applied to is addressed to the applicants of medicinal products, alternative and/or potential manufacturers, applicants-holders of registration certificates of which are the subjects of the Russian Federation; 4) legitimate purpose of implementation is protection of life and health of persons staying on the territory of Ukraine in connection with the impossibility of providing Ukraine with proper control over the quality of production of medicines within the Russian Federation; 5) necessary in democratic society.

The problem. The concept of «issues of reference» is used in the Constitution of the Russian Federation when listing the subjects of the law of legislative initiative in relation to the judiciary. The legislation does not disclose or define this concept, which leads to discussion about its content and, as a result, raises questions about the practical implementation of the separation of powers principle in the legislative process. Aims and objectives of the study: we determined the limitations of the law of legislative initiative of the higher courts of Russia from the point of view the legal grounds for such restrictions, their subjects and legal consequences. Methods: we use both the common scientific methods (e. g. systemic, deductive) as the special-legal methods (formal, dogmatic, state-legal modeling method, comparative legal method etc.). Results: we conclude that «issues of reference» is a special constitutional legal term used in the Constitution of the Russian Federation to describe all functions of the certain branch of power or the public authority. This term in its content is broader than the concepts of «authority», «subjects of jurisdiction» and «jurisdiction». The use of the term «issues of reference» towards the higher courts, as subjects of the right of legislative initiative, does not allow us to assert the constitutional sense of existence various types of legislative initiative right, such as general right and limited (special) right. The practice of exercising the right of legislative initiative by the higher courts, as well as the applying the Procedure Rules of the State Duma of the Russian Federation does not provide for any restrictions on the right of courts to initiate bills. Russian legislation lacks mechanisms for applying the term «issues of reference» as an instrument restricting the constitutional right of the higher courts to participate in the legislative process. Also, such mechanisms are not reflected in the regulatory framework governing the activities of the higher courts. The term «issues of reference», applied to the legislative initiative right of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, does not imply any exemptions from the right to initiate bills given by the Constitution to other entities, but this term is used in the delimitation of legislative functions between the higher courts.

In this article, we present the first generalization and analysis of decisions made by Russian courts of general jurisdiction from 2009 to 2016 for the application of provisions of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the Federal Law of November 21, 2011 No. 323-FZ ʼOn the fundamentals of protecting the health of citizens in the Russian Federationʼ, the Federal Law of July 3, 2016 No. 238-FZ ʼOn independent qualification assessmentʼ, the Federal Law of December 29, 2013 No. 273-FZ ʼOn education in the Russian Federationʼ, the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 28, 2013 No. 966 ʼOn licensing educational activitiesʼ adopted to fulfill the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of May 7, 2012 No. 599 ʼAbout measures to implement the state policy in the sphere of education and scienceʼ in the field of advanced training and (or) professional training of employed population aged from 25 to 65 years. As a result, we have made several conclusions. Firstly, if periodical advanced training is a mandatory condition for admission to work (for example, for medical workers), then courts using separate methods of protecting rights of citizens (in particular, health care), should understand the consequences of these decisions. Secondly, the imposition of administrative sanctions in accordance with Part 3 of Article 19.20 of the Code of Administrative Offences due to the non-systematic increase in the professional level of educators recommends improving the algorithm for substantiating the gross violation of license requirements. Thirdly, the legal status of a person who has concluded an agreement on advanced training differs from that of an apprenticeship contract, and the guarantees for this person are not established by Articles 203-205 but rather Article 187 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. Therefore, courts should not qualify a contract on advanced training as an apprenticeship contract. Fourthly, if advanced training is not designated for employees as additional qualification and an employer does not have the duty to pay for this training, then the resolution of a possible dispute should be based on whether the employer's interest is realized or not. Fifthly, the impossibility of an employee to work should be objective and compulsory, which is assessed by the law enforcer based on the balance of rights and interests of both parties of the corresponding employment contract. Sixthly, the legal regulation of the independent assessment of working qualification requires its improvement and alignment with norms of the labor legislation of the Russian Federation.

This article examines the legal regulation of detection of citizens’ communications on the Internet s that require a response from the government authorities. The relevance is substantiated by the increase in the number of publications on Internet that require a response, as well as by the fact that the corresponding legal relations are not regulated by the Federal Law “On the Procedure for Considering Appeals of the Citizens of the Russian Federation". Since such form of administrative activity obtained a wide circulation in 2020 and needs further research, analysis is conducted on the practice of legal regulation of the indicated questions. The author concludes that the legal acts of all constituent entities of the Russian Federation on this question are similar: they determine the procedure for detection of information that requires a response, its processing, and posting the results of consideration. Analysis is performed on the structure of the subjects engaged in this administrative activity; emphasis is placed on the involvement of nongovernmental organizations in this process. In the conditions of digitalization of administrative activity, many regions utilize the automated Incident Management System to facilitate coordination of all citizens’ communications that require a response. It is noted that the Regional Management Centers have been established for improving the process of detection of citizens’ communications that require a response. Analysis of the system of such relations between the government and the citizens allows continuing research on the problematic issues of working with the Internet resources – falsity of information, anonymous publications, need for immediate response, etc.
