The article explores the legal nature of law principles from the perspective of philosophical and legal analysis. The purpose of the article is to form scientifically based knowledge on the philosophical and legal nature of the category law principle using postclassical methodological tools. Research Methods: The methodology of the article is based on the postclassical scientific rationality. The authors use an integrative approach to the study of legal reality in combination with a phenomenological and synergetic methodology, thereby using a number of general scientific and special scientific methods in a particular logical system, which makes it possible to study law principles both ontologically, in terms of their role in law in general, and epistemologically as well as axiologically. Moreover, the content, functioning and development of law principles are considered phenomenologically, as well as in the context of law communication. Results: The law principle in the ontological aspect is a fundamental form of law, reflecting the most significant ideas concerning regulation of public relations; the law principle is used as a direct regulator along with the rule of law. The epistemological law principle can be interpreted as a generalizing category, reflecting interpretation and assessment of legal reality from the standpoint of postclassical methodology. From an axiological point of view, the law principle embodies the law and social values and traditions that are dominant within the framework of a given socio-cultural chronotope, and is also used as one of the fundamental tools for constructing legal reality and its development. Conclusions: the law nature of law principles is determined with the account of postclassical methodology onto-logically, epistemologically and axiologically, in terms of their dual role in formation, development and construction of legal reality at all of its levels, in the context of both objective and subjective factors. The findings can be applied in drawing up concepts of legal and judicial reforms in terms of targeted construction of legal reality, as well as in the process of predicting the development of the Russian legal system.

The category of criminal law impact is currently being actively studied in the domestic legal science for the relationship with the content of the categories of criminal punishment, other measures of a criminal law nature, criminal liability. In the presented study, the problem of determining the types of criminal law influence and the peculiarities of their implementation, depending on the presence or absence of certain legally significant features, is posed. Given the stated problems, the subject of the study is determined in the form of criminal law norms that enshrine deprivation and legal restrictions that apply to persons who have committed a socially dangerous act prohibited by criminal law. The application in the process of research of a combination of general scientific and private scientific methods allowed us to formulate the final conclusion that the criminal legal effect is realized as a result of the application of criminal liability measures and other measures of a criminal legal nature. Criminal liability is realized on general and preferential terms. The basis for the use of the latter is the fact of positive post-criminal behavior, which significantly reduces the social danger of the perpetrator.

Introduction: claims for recognition of a registered contract as terminated and the right of obligation as absent combine the following features: (1) they are declaratory; (2) belong to the category of negative ones; (3) are not explicitly stated in the law; (4) are recognized by judicial practice; (5) are aimed solely at eliminating legal uncertainty. The unity of features determines the need to analyze these types of claims within a single study. Purpose: to establish the reasons for the occurrence in practice of claims for recognition of a registered contract as terminated and the right of obligation as absent. Methods: general scientific (dialectical) method of cognition of scientific concepts of private law; special scientific methods of cognition: formal-legal method, historical-legal method, method of comparative legal studies, forecasting. Results: the transition of the claim for recognition of the right of obligation as absent to the category of remedies directly referred to in acts of official interpretation of law entails great risks. As soon as the emerging practice is recorded in an act of interpretation, the following will happen. Firstly, the number of cases of its use in practice will be likely to increase, which will entail an increased burden on courts. Secondly, there will appear the prerequisites for the full formal legalization of the phenomenon, as has already happened with the recognition of a contract as not concluded and the recognition of the right to a thing as absent. Should there be no registration actions in the Russian legal system, there would not be so many claims of a negative legal nature recognized by practice, including the claim for the recognition of a registered contract as terminated. Protective legal rules aimed at regulating claim-based relations that have the purpose of ensuring a more stable existence of regulatory relations are often formalized in the law, being widely applied in practice by the time changes are introduced into the law.

Объектом представленного в статье исследования являются общественные правоотношения в области уголовно-исполнительного законодательства, которые заключаются в реализации равных прав и обязанностей, а также в их защите государством. Предметом выступают нормы уголовно-исполнительного права, регламентирующие взаимоотношения субъектов правоотношений по поводу исполнения и отбывания всех видов уголовных наказаний, одним из которых выступает осужденный в качестве лица со специальным правовым статусом. В качестве методологической основы познания в работе были использованы общенаучные методы - анализ, сравнение, дедукция, индукция, и частнонаучные - формально-юридический и метод анализа. Принцип равенства осужденных перед законом предусматривает равные права и обязанности осужденных в уголовно-исполнительным праве, а также единую возможность для реализации этих права и исполнения возложенных законом обязанностей. При этом гарантии их соблюдения, а равно и защита, устанавливаются государством. The object of this study is public relations in the field of criminal-executive legislation, which consist in the implementation of equal rights and duties, as well as in their protection by the state, which is one of the most pressing issues. The subject of the research is the norms of criminal-executive law governing the relationship between the subjects of legal relations regarding the execution and serving of all types of criminal penalties, which the convicted person, on the one hand, acts as a person with special legal status. As a methodological basis of knowledge, general scientific methods were used in the work: analysis, comparison, deduction, induction and private science: formal-legal and method of analysis. The principle of equality of convicted persons before the law provides for equal rights and obligations of convicted persons in criminal-executive law, as well as a single opportunity for the exercise of these rights and the fulfillment of obligations imposed by law. At the same time, guarantees of their observance, as well as protection, are established by the state.

The current article presents a comparative legal analysis of existing constitutions and acts of constitutional meaning of Asian States, which allowed the author to disclose universal and individual approaches of understanding of legal nature and concept of notion of crime and punishment as applied to constitutional legal regulation. Examples of identical statement of the main elements of crime and punishment in the constitutional acts of Asian countries (crime and punishment established by a law; punishment is determined by the court for act, which is an offence by the law at the moment of its commission; nobody can be subject to sentence more than is provided by the law at the moment of the crime; punishment has individual character) and the original national regulation of protection of separate public relations from criminal infringements (inviolability of state authority, public order and security, individuals’ rights and freedoms, right of ownership, historical and cultural heritage) are provided. The author made a conclusion that universal and individual approaches of understanding of legal nature and content of notion of crime and punishment are not strongly differentiable in constitutions of Asian countries. They are closely bound and are in constant cooperation. This is particularly evident when questions connected to deprivation of passive and (or) active electoral right as well as dismissal of heads of states and disqualification of officials of public authorities.

The purpose of the study is to conduct a general theoretical analysis of scientific approaches to the definition of the concept and essence of the legal regime in order to overcome its narrow industrial understanding and identify the role and significance in the process of legal regulation. General scientific and private scientific methods of knowledge including formal legal and comparative legal methods have been chosen as research methods of this paper. Logical techniques allowing to reveal the essence of legal regimes and formulate the author's definition of them have also been applied. The analysis of scientific works expressing various opinions indicates that at present an instrumental approach to the definition of the concept and essence of the legal regime prevails directly (or indirectly through the procedure of legal regulation) as a set of legal means (instruments). The following are mentioned as signs of the legal regime: mandatory normative legal consolidation (formal legal nature), specific target, special regulatory order based on a combination of legal means and methods of legal regulation, in relation to subjects of law, i.e., in a subjective sense, creating of favorable (or unfavorable) conditions to achieve certain interests, systemic and integrated character of a regime and its special structure. As a result, the author's definition of the legal regime is presented as a special procedure for the legal regulation of public relations, based on a certain combination of legal means and methods of legal regulation (permits, prohibitions, and positive obligations) aimed at achieving the relevant legal goals and planned optimal socially significant result.

The object of the study is the implementation of equality principle before the law by fixing equal rights and obligations of prisoners in the normative legal acts of the Soviet state. The subject of research: provisions of normative legal acts of the Provisional Government, departmental normative acts of the People’s Commissariat of Justice of the RSFSR and People’s Commissariat for Internal Affairs of the RSFSR. As a methodological basis for cognition, general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, de-duction are used, which allow us to investigate aspects of legal reality directly related to the implementation of the principles of penal enforcement (correctional labor) legislation, to formulate reasonable conclusions. Private scientific methods: formal-legal and comparative-legal – allow us to identify differences in the legal regulation of the legal status of prisoners in the pre-war period. As a result of the conducted research, we make a reasonable conclusion that the principle of equality before the law, although it was not enshrined in specific norms regulating the procedure for the execution and serving of imprisonment, however, was manifested in the provisions regulating the legal status of persons deprived of liberty. The notions of equality before the law of both citizens in general and prisoners in particular were not the fundamental basis of the legislation of the Soviet State. Prisoners were differentiated on the basis of social affiliation, due to: 1) the principle of class approach proclaimed by the Constitution of the RSFSR; 2) the functioning of two systems of places of deprivation of liberty for prisoners with different social status; 3) regulating the execution (serving) of sentences in the form of deprivation of liberty by various regulatory legal acts.

The study reveals some of the phenomenon of legal force features, which is an integral element of regulatory legal acts, as well as contracts, electronic documents that act as regulators of public relations. The purpose is to determine the methodological approaches with the help of which it is pos-sible to study this phenomenon more fully, as well as to identify the short-comings of the existing approaches. The dialectical-materialistic method, general scientific methods, special legal methods are used as methods. In the course of the research, we turn to such methodological approaches as histori-cal, logical, hermeneutic, comparative, systemic, synergistic, humanistic, cy-bernetic, structural, functional. A brief description of them is given (the fea-tures are determined, the views of legal scholars on these methodological ap-proaches and the applicability of such approaches in relation to the study of the phenomenon of legal force are reflected). We come to the conclusion about the insufficiency of the currently existing research methodological ap-proaches in relation to the category of “legal force” and determine some prospects for the development of this topic. We prove that methodological approaches allow us to study not only the features of the category of “legal force” (classification, purpose, etc.), but also the specifics of acts, documents, the process of their adoption, application.

The article covers the question of the enforcement of acts of “soft” law — unformal sources of regulation of public relations. It is pointed in the article, that though acts of “soft” law are not the sources of law in traditional understanding, such acts are important practical regulators of private-law relations. The author gives the common characteristic of acts of “soft” law, makes comparative analyses with legal acts. Although the most attention in the article is paid to the legal effect of the enforcement of acts of “soft” law, first of all, from the view of regulation of private-law relations. While preparing the article the complex of methods was used, which lay on the basis of systematical and dialectical concepts. The main conclusion of the issue is the acknowledgement of the fact of the exercising of influence by the acts of “soft” law on regulation of private-law relations. This article is based on a combination of methods of cognition, which amounted to a systematic and dialectical approach. The author appeals to the general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction) and to the specially-legal methods of learning: formal-legal, comparative legal, structural and functional.
