It is emphasized that in the conditions of natural loss of the Russian population and reduction of migration growth, the role and importance of the State program to assist the voluntary resettlement of compatriots living abroad to the Russian Federation are increasing. In order to meet the challenges of replenishing the permanent population and labor resources of Russia, migration legislation is being improved. recently, a Federal law and three presidential Decreeshave been adopted that simplify the procedure for acquiring Russian citizenship for compatriots. The article analyzes the law enforcement practice of regional authorities of the Russian Federation in relation to participants of the State program to assist in the voluntary relocation of compatriots living abroad to the Russian Federation. The author emphasizes the need to change the law enforcement practice of local administrative and law enforcement agencies in the field of migration, to eliminate unjustified rigidity and bureaucratic red tape in relation to displaced compatriots. A number of proposals have been developed to improve Russia’s migration policy in order to increase the attractiveness for compatriots of the State program to assist in the voluntary relocation of compatriots living abroad to the Russian Federation, as well as to increase the importance and priority for local administrative and law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation of assisting displaced compatriots in solving problems of their settlement.

We analyze the law enforcement practice of judicial authorities on taxes and fees, since the Tax Code of the Russian Federation is a rather controversial regulatory legal act. Tax disputes arise both at the initiative of tax authorities and at the initiative of taxpayers. Purpose: to determine the main directions of law enforcement practice of courts in tax disputes. We use general scientific and specially legal methods as research methods. The focus is on the method of analysis. In the course of the research, we analyze the con-sideration of cases by judicial authorities on tax disputes, their quantitative and qualitative characteristics. We conclude that the emergence of disagree-ments between taxpayers and the state body when resolving the issue of the legality of their actions (inaction), as well as the legality of a non-normative legal act is the main reason for the formation of law enforcement practice in tax disputes. During the passage of all stages of the application of the law, it is also necessary to establish the existence of a cause-and-effect relationship between the actions of the taxpayer and the resulting consequences. The main points of this process go through several stages. We define the main directions of the law enforcement practice of courts in tax disputes.

The police as a law enforcement body of a specific state was created to perform a variety of tasks in order to maintain the law and order in society, to ensure the security of the state, its citizens. In accordance with the role of the police in the legal doctrine of different countries (Germany, France, England, etc.), in due time, there were even separate schools to study this institution. The police are also one of the subjects of anti-corruption. Nevertheless, this does not mean that corruption cannot exist in the ranks of the police. Despite the general increase in confidence in the police and their employees, noted by the All-Russia centre of studying of public opinion over the last few years in the Russian Federation, today the efforts to combat corruption need to be undertaken not only outside, but also within the police departments themselves. It is obvious that corrupt law enforcement bodies are not able to perform effectively and qualitatively their tasks, and this fast poses a real threat to the state, society and the individual. Thus, the task of improving the complex of anti-corruption measures in the police bodies is becoming more urgent. The article presents a comparative legal analysis of anti-corruption in the police bodies of Russia and Germany in modern conditions. The measures of influence are defined, as well as the forms of interaction of law enforcement agencies in the fight against this negative social phenomenon. The authors come to conclusion that the effective system of anti-corruption in police facilitates not only by the system of legislative sanctions adopted in the state, but also by the qualitative implementation of the state’s social policy with regard to civil servants.

This article analyzes the relevant legislation, identifies the basic criteria for defining the concept of the civil service of other types in the Russian Federation, and describes the current state of its legal regulation. The service of other types is carried out in the federal-state bodies and organizations subordinate to them; such organizations perform special functions to ensure security, law and order, combat crime and protect citizens’ rights and freedoms. The author identifies the reasons for the abolition of such a concept as “law enforcement service” in the civil service systems and considers the process of its transformation into a new segment within this system. Based on the conducted comparative analysis of legislative and subordinate legal acts containing relevant regulatory provisions, the analysis shows that today the civil service of other types is carried out in state bodies defined as law enforcement agencies. To reflect the current state of legal regulation for the civil service of other types, the author notes an increase in the corresponding legislative framework in recent years. The issues of legal regulation of work in the field of civil service of other types are worked out in special laws regarding employees of customs authorities, internal affairs bodies, the federal fire service, the criminal justice system, and enforcement bodies. In addition, the article outlines the key priorities for further improvement of legal regulation.

The problematic issues of ensuring cybersecurity in the Russian Federation are investigated in the article. Based on the analysis of legal literature and normative legal acts on crimes in the field of computer information in the criminal legislation of the Russian Federation and countering them, several judgments are made. The state of crime in the field of computer information is largely determined by the level of economic development of any state, including the Russian Federation as a subject of international law. Computer information, as social interaction, is protected by the criminal legislation of the Russian Federation. Counteraction in the field of computer information involves the formation of special units in a number of law enforcement agencies (first of all, in the state security bodies and in the internal affairs bodies) staffed with employees with additional competencies in the field of computer technology.

In the article the author examines the issues related to the improvement of legislation in the functioning of law enforcement agencies, in particular that on their counteraction to organized drug crime. We are talking about the amendment to Article 146 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, according to which criminal proceedings on crimes under Articles 228.1 and 228.4 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation on the fact of illegal drugs dealing cannot be initiated in the absence of data on the type, weight and name of drugs, as well as sufficient evidence indicating their transfer to other persons. The law-in-draft is aimed, on the one hand, at protecting citizens, on the other – at increasing the exactingness to law enforcement agencies at the initial stage of criminal – proceedings related to drug crime. The grounds for instituting a criminal proceeding for illegal drug dealing should be the facts of drug transfer to another person, as well as an expert opinion determining their mass, type and name.
