The article is devoted to the study of the party model of Russian parliamentarism in post-soviet period. The focus is on the issues of party representation and its correlation with the distribution of the managerial positions and introduction of collective legislation at State Duma. These issues are examined from the point of view of reaching cross-party consensus and implementation of fair parliament party representation principle. According to the author Russian parliamentarism model aims at reaching full-fledged party consensus that corresponds better to the principles of popular representation than strict parliament polarization along the line of “authority-opposition”. Understanding of those issues by the majority of the players was noted from the very start of the State Duma activities, in spite of the acute conflicts in the 1990-ies.The author draws the conclusion that the equation of party representation continues to grow at the level of managerial positions in the parliament that allows to improve cooperation of the parties and to reduce authority and opposition conflicts. Thereby the Russian parliamentarism model makes an important contribution to the stabilization of socio-political situation of the country.

The focus of the research is the concept of context, guidelines for the approach to it, and the ways by which it was regarded in the development of urban environment. The paper defines how these approaches and practices changed during the last century. During the last century, an especially dynamic and turbulent one, Lithuanian state experienced divergent and controversial periods: independence (1918-1940), World War II (1939–1945), Soviet period (1944–1990) and independence restored (1990-present). The paper discusses the Western attitudes and the evolution of approach towards context while dealing with urban environment, and peculiarities of Lithuanian practice in conformity with these attitudes during last century. The theoretic investigation is grounded by the documents formulated and declared by international organisations like CIAM, UNESCO, ICOMOS and others, as accumulations of pioneering thought. Particularly, their statements that consider the surrounding context as basis, principle, or inspiration for the creating, transforming or reconstructing the urban environment are analysed. The term context is used as a generalising term, an umbrella one, which covers several terms used in the documents or literature to define closer or wider urban environment while dealing with it. The paper focuses mostly on historical urban situations, and wide range of activities in changing the environment from architect or landscape architect’s professional point of view. The theoretic analysis is followed by the critical review of certain experiences in Lithuanian practice at that time, in characteristic redevelopment of spaces in the main cities (state capitals). The identified evolution reveals the expansion of the concept of urban context and growing regard for it both in theory and in practice. The evolution of contextual approach in Lithuanian practice follows the guidelines stated in documents of international organisations in spite of its political situation, but the research discloses its certain peculiarities.

Introduction. The article analyzes the methodology of the legal system research. The basic approaches to understanding the concept of the legal system as an autonomous, coherent and coherent set of legal phenomena, aiming to comprehend social ideals-values of justice, equality, freedom and humanism and to achieve the end result of its functioning, in particular, the state of law and order. The position of eminent scientists is supported according to which the legal system is considered from the point of view of the functions it performs, and in particular its main function - legal regulation. The legal system is a fundamental category of the theory of law and the state and law in general. Thus, according to some researchers, it includes all legal phenomena, in particular: the system of law and law, justice and legal culture, law and order, etc. In view of this, the legal system has been and is the object of much basic research. The purpose of the paper is to reveal the main approaches to understanding the concept of legal system. Results. An active study of the legal system as a phenomenon began in the 80s of the last century. Since then, several approaches to understanding the legal system have emerged in domestic jurisprudence. Proponents of the first approach include in the concept of the legal system is not an exhaustive list of elements. This position is based on understanding the legal system as a complex of all legal phenomena of a particular society. Representatives of the second approach provide a comprehensive list of elements of the legal system. However, for the most part, such scientists do not specify the criteria for selecting such elements. Today's understanding of the legal system must be free from unnecessary elements that are alien to the legal system. In this case, it is a so-called "legal" or "legal" add-on. It was this alien element that artificially burdened the construction of the legal system as a phenomenon in the Soviet period. However, this element is still included in the legal system in modern scientific literature. Conclusion. The legal system is an autonomous, coherent, coherent set of legal phenomena, the purpose of which is to comprehend the social ideals-values of justice, equality, freedom and humanism and to achieve the end result of its functioning, and in particular the state of law and order.

The article examines the results of market reforms in Kazakhstan in the post-Soviet period, comparing the past and present. For 30 years, the market economy has decided only some of the most pressing issues of the economy. The full transition to private ownership, which began in the 1990s, is already in its infancy. To get out of the current crisis in Kazakhstan, it is necessary to change the direction of economic development. The state must take responsibility for these changes. The result in the country should be a model of mixed economy, offering different forms of ownership. At the same time, the state must control the spheres that facilitate the lives of people and play a key role in the security of the country.

The article is devoted to the place of the shortened (protocol) form of criminal proceedings on misconduct cases. It says that in connection with the ongoing judicial reform in the Kyrgyz Republic, the Code of Criminal Offenses was developed and adopted. Misdemeanor offenses include offenses of minor gravity. The point of view of scientists of the post-Soviet period on the possibility of being an abbreviated form of criminal proceedings in the criminal process, as well as some of them in its denial, is given. An analysis is given of the fact that at present, such a form of criminal proceedings as abridged (protocol) in the current Code of Criminal Procedure of the Kyrgyz Republic cannot be. In substantiating this argument, the authors believe that misconduct is a crime. In this regard, they argue that it is impossible to simplify various procedural forms and institutions, eliminate certain procedural actions provided for in the current Code of Criminal Procedure of the Kyrgyz Republic, and reduce certain procedural guarantees.

This article reveals the features and main trends of the process of democratization of the statepolitical system in the North Caucasus republics in the post-Soviet period. It is noted that the state-political systems of the North Caucasus republics are characterized by both democratic and authoritarian tendencies. The author emphasizes that in recent decades, the opportunities for democratic change of the political elite in the North Caucasus region have been significantly limited, which is primarily due to changes in legislation at the Russian and regional levels, primarily related to the actual abolition of direct national elections of heads of republics and municipalities. The national republics of the North Caucasus are characterized by a high concentration of power in the hands of top officials, which is due to the poorly established work of government bodies with appeals from citizens, the inefficiency of public chambers, the underdevelopment of the middle class, the unstructured civil society, and the lack of an effective multi-party system that can form a real opposition.
