This article discusses the possibility of applying the provisionsof the Federal Law On Insolvency (Bankruptcy) to the Chinese nationals registered asindividual entrepreneurs in Russia.

Existing Russian legislation allows to recognize the foreignnationals as bankrupts. The provisions on the cross-border insolvency also apply to them.The bankruptcy in China is not applied currently to the individuals, although theoretically itmay affect their property sphere during the bankruptcy of an individual private enterprise.Conclusions. The cross-border insolvency of the Chinese nationals encounters obstacles on threelevels. Firstly, the awards of the Russian arbitration courts have not been practically enforced inPRC due to inadequate notification of the Chinese party in the case. Secondly, Chinese courts inprinciple are extremely reluctant in recognizing foreign judgments on bankruptcy, such cases areexceptional. Thirdly, there is no personal bankruptcy institution in the PRC, while similar procedureslike bankruptcy of individual private enterprises are not applied in reality, and there are nolegislative prospects for the personal bankruptcy in the nearest future. Therefore, when conductingthe bankruptcy procedure for the Chinese nationals on the Russian territory, one can onlycount on their property located on this side of the border.

The purpose of the article is to typologize terminological definitions of security, to find out the general, to identify the originality of their interpretations depending on the subject of legal regulation. The methodological basis of the study is the methods that made it possible to obtain valid conclusions, in particular, the method of comparison, through which it became possible to correlate different interpretations of the term "security"; method of hermeneutics, which allowed to elaborate texts of normative legal acts of Ukraine, method of typologization, which made it possible to create typologization groups of variants of understanding of the term "security". Scientific novelty. The article analyzes the understanding of the term "security" in various regulatory acts in force in Ukraine. Typological groups were understood to understand the term "security". Conclusions. The analysis of the legal material makes it possible to confirm that the issues of security are within the scope of both legislative regulation and various specialized by-laws. However, today there is no single conception on how to interpret security terminology. This is due both to the wide range of social relations that are the subject of legal regulation and to the relativity of the notion of security itself and the lack of coherence of views on its definition in legal acts and in the scientific literature. The multiplicity of definitions is explained by combinations of material and procedural understanding, static - dynamic, and conditioned by the peculiarities of a particular branch of legal regulation, limited ability to use methods of one or another branch, the inter-branch nature of some variations of security, etc. Separation, common and different in the definition of "security" can be used to further standardize, in fact, the regulatory legal understanding of security to more effectively implement the legal regulation of the security direction.

The subject of this article is the regulations adopted on 21 June 2016 State Duma of the Russian Federation and entered into force on 3 July 2016 the Federal law No. 230-FZ “On Protection of Rights and Legitimate Interests of Individuals with the Implementation of Overdue Debts and on Amendments to the Federal Law “On Microfinance Performance and Microfinance Organizations”. The author analyzes the effectiveness of the existing regulatory framework governing the activities of organizations to collect overdue debts of individuals. It should be stated that the existing rules do not ensure protection of the rights and interests of individuals in arrears on consumer loans from illegal actions of collectors and at the same time do not regulate the legal framework within which collectors must perform. The current regulatory framework does not provide the balance of the interests of debtors and collection agencies. All these led to the need for a special law to regulate the activities of collection agencies. The adopted Law sets the mandatory state registration of organizations whose primary activity is the collection of debts. It defines the requirements both to the organization (in terms of charter capital and the order of formation) and to its employees when they undertake activities on debt collection. The law has a number of controversial provisions, which are considered by the author of the article; however, in whole a positive evaluation is given.

Introduction: this article reviews the cross-border tax disputes resolution practice in Russia and evaluates the prospects for the development of new mechanisms for the resolution of tax disputes arising from cross-border relations, including tax arbitration. In recent years, the development of international instruments for eliminating double taxation and resolving tax disputes within OECD and G20 multilateral formats as well as bilateral agreements on avoidance of double taxation have led to the growing interest in this paper’s topic. The purpose of this paper is to determine / identify an optimal mechanism for the cross-border tax disputes resolution in Russia, taking into account the current domestic legal regulation and international commitments in the field of cross-border taxation. Methods: given the nature of this research, we have used the general scientific and individual scientific research methods. We have also used legal research methods such as comparative legal and formal legal methods, logical, systemic, and functional interpretation. The recent academic literature on the particular aspects of this research has been investigated too. Analysis: the practice in the application of international tax agreements in Russia demonstrates that the cross-border tax disputes are mainly resolved within the framework of domestic judicial procedures. Mutual agreement procedures and tax arbitration are not common mechanisms for resolving cross-border tax disputes in Russia. Meanwhile, the international investment disputes affecting particular aspects of taxation are often dealt through international arbitration institutions. Results: as a part of the commitments made under the Multilateral Instrument (MLI), Russian Federation considers arbitration and mutual agreement procedures only as possible alternative ways to settle cross-border tax disputes arising from international tax agreements. Based on the well-known cross-border tax disputes resolution practice, we conclude that none of the states could completely isolate itself from the international arbitration procedures in the current circumstances. This is true even if such state did not include the arbitration clause in its tax agreements and did not make the commitments on tax arbitration under the Multilateral Instrument (MLI).

In this article, the author examines the issues of the criminal legal status of digital currency as an objectand as a means of committing a crime. In 2020, a special Federal law was adopted defining the legal status ofdigital assets, as well as amendments were made to the Civil Code of the Russian Federation concerning theestablishment of the legal status of cryptocurrency or digital currency in the terminology of these regulationsas an object of civil rights. Significant changes in the civil legal regulation of cryptocurrencies have led to achange in approaches to assessing the criminal legal status of virtual money. In particular, the recognitionof digital currency by other property has allowed solving a number of qualification issues, but until now,criminal law is very cautious about the official recognition of cryptocurrency as the subject of a crime. Theauthor of the work offers options for the qualification of crimes committed using digital currency, in theabsence of changes in the criminal law and explanations of the Highest Court.

Bobrova) to the present time is analyzed.The purpose is to clarify its role in establishment and maintaining the regime of constitutionallegality.The results, scope of application. Doubts about the legal nature of positive constitutionalresponsibility up to its complete denial are identical with doubts about the legal nature ofmany constitutional norms, the denial of their direct action. These disputes will last forever.Direct service of constitutional and legal responsibility to the quality of governance is a featureof this type of legal responsibility along with its pronounced political character, as wellas the specific guilt of the subject of constitutional tort (liability not only for their acts butfor the acts of their subordinates).The emphasis on positive moral aspect to the detriment of "sanction" (retrospective) aspectof the constitutional responsibility does not meet the challenges of the new time.Proponents of affirmative responsibility had good purpose to build its high creative andeducational role from the positive side of the legal liability. However, this good purpose inpractice has not led to optimistic results.The authors come to the conclusion the legal regulation of mechanisms of responsibilityenforcement in Russia is necessary.

The subject of the research is the current Russian legislation regulating lending activities in the context of the implementation of the national project “Digital Economy”. The purpose of the article is to establish functioning legal opportunities to reduce debt load and to identify directions for optimizing national legislation governing the provision of credit products. To effectively impact digital transformation on lending, the focus should be on developing a new mindset to make the best use of technology, motivate people and streamline processes. It is financial institutions that create a collaborative and innovative culture to drive change that can deliver real returns on their technology investments in banking. Conclusions are formulated that there is a need for regulatory regulation of online lending, the introduction of digital credit platforms, and the development of credit and digital culture of the population. First of all, this concerns amendments to the law “On banks and banking activities” on the provision of digital credit. In addition, with the adoption in 2020 of the Federal Law “On Digital Financial Assets, Digital Currency and Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation”, it is required to bring the regulations of the Bank of Russia on the possibility of lending against digital financial assets and digital currency in line with the current legislation.

The subject. The system of state control and supervision in the Russian Federation was chosen as the subject of research. The relevance of the article is due to the need to find a balance between improving the level of law and security in various areas of business and reducing administrative pressure on business entities during control and supervisory activities. The purpose of the article is the goal is to substantiate the scientific hypothesis that the existing system of state control and supervision in Russia needs further improvement despite the performing legislative reform. The methodological basis for the study: general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, comparison, description) as well as legal interpretation of legislative acts and drafts. Results, scope of application. The correlation of the terms "control" and "supervision" is defined, the stages of development of these institutions are highlighted, and he directions for improving the control and supervision activities of the state are outlined. Analysis of the features of legislative regulation of state control and supervision allowed us to identify three stages of its formation. Currently, the third stage of the control and supervision reform is being implemented in Russia. Analysis of the new Federal law "On state control (supervision) and municipal control in the Russian Federation" made it possible to note that this act has some obvious advantages in comparison to Law No. 294-FZ: the extension of the scope of the risk-based approach, clear regulation of all control activities, avoiding monopoly inspections as the main tool of control and supervision, use of preventive approach rather than punitive approach. Conclusions. It is concluded that the new Federal law "On state control (supervision) and municipal control in the Russian Federation" provides for the development of a risk-based approach in the implementation of control and supervision activities, as well as a number of other innovations that can, if being properly implemented, reduce the administrative burden on economic entities, change the punitive direction of the control activities to a preventive one. At the same time, the problem of unification of the conceptual apparatus in this area remains unresolved.
