Abstract It is certainly and without fail that through a simple hovering over the present state of relations between Romania and the Russian Federation, the factual balance is not an encouraging one, the state of mind of the bilateral register being continuously dominated by the same issue: ,,history is a ballast, and the frame in which the two states perceive each other has been fixed a long time ago, clogged and jammed by momentarily political statements, and deprived of any heuristic nuances” (Dungaciu, Tănăsescu, 2013). Therefore and within such optics, based on an undeniable belief that a heuristic approach of the bilateral dimension is an imperative, the present paper aims to provide a first concrete solution likely to create the critical mass necessary to achieve a complex regeneration process of normalizing Romania's relations with its neighbor to the East. Circumscribed to such a sphere of interest, the present paper assumes the fact that beyond the overwhelming historical legacy related to the bilateral register and implicitly, beyond its problematic receipt, the complex process of normalizing the relations between Romanian and the Russian Federation is unavoidably obstructed by an entire arsenal of terms such as ,, reset”, ,,thaw”, ,,recovery”, ,,blocking”, terms which maintain and support a certain negative perception, thus certifying the fact that it prevails a ,,freeze”, a ,,cooling” and an impediment in the bilateral dimension. Starting from this undeniable and undoubted reality, the axial objective of the present paper is to fundamentally reverse this lexical hegemony, thus operating substantive changes at the level of the linguistic universe specific to the bilateral register, in such a manner as to register a major change in regards to the behavioral pattern afferent to the bilateral reports.

Cruel and inhumane acts that harm human life and health, as well as humiliate the dignity, are prohibited in most countries of the world, and Russia is no exception in this issue. The article presents an analysis of the institution of responsibility for torture in the Russian Federation. The author comes to the conclusion that the current criminal law of Russia superficially and fragmentally regulates liability for torture, in connection with which the author formulated the proposals to define such act as an independent crime. In the frame of modern globalization, the world community pays special attention to the protection of human rights, in connection with which large-scale international standards have been created a long time ago. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international acts enshrine prohibitions of cruel and inhumane acts that harm human life and health, as well as degrade the dignity.Considering the historical experience of the past, these standards focus on the prohibition of any kind of torture, regardless of the purpose of their implementation.

The article considers the problems of the content of the current Constitution of the Russian Federation of 1993 in the dynamics of its amendments and additions, taking into account the innovations of 2020. The author highlights shortcomings, both initial and formed during its development, while drawing attention to its serious shortcomings appeared during the constitutional reforms of 2014 and 2020. The author particularly refers to the deformation of the constitutional foundations of the domestic justice mechanism, which were far from ideal even in the original version of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The article mentions the fact that the Constitution of the Russian Federation began to be subjected to meaningful and constructive criticism a long time ago, especially on the 10th anniversary of its adoption. To date, there is a situation in which the presence of serious shortcomings in the content of the provisions of the Constitution of the Russian Federation does not allow us to hope for their correction by adjusting its individual articles. And the main thing is that these shortcomings are clearly manifested at the present time in chapters 1 and 2, which are immutable. The analysis of the dynamics of changes and additions to the current Constitution of the Russian Federation suggests that the need for its radical reform will be created approximately by 2025-2026, by this time the legal science should be ready, and preliminary work in this direction should begin even now.

Global warming is causing a major ice retreat from the North Pole. From now on, this retreat allows almost permanent movement between East and West off the coast of the Russian Federation along the Northern Sea Route (NSR). For a long time, navigators have been trying to use this route which significantly reduced the distance between continents. The amount of freight that currently travels on the NSR will inevitably increase in the coming years. To reduce environmental risks, one possible option is not to supply ships with heavy fuel oil. The ships could then be electrically powered and navigate in stages from one port to another along the route to refuel for energy. This electrical energy can be produced on site from renewable energy sources. In this article, a first feasibility analysis is outlined, taking into account the tonnage constraints for navigating on a possible route for the NSR, the cost of energy production and the possible location of several ports of call. Under current economic conditions, the solution would not be profitable as it stands, but should become so at a later stage, which justifies starting to think about a future full electrification of navigation on the NSR, which will also contribute to the economic development of the Russian Federation northernmost regions.

The quality of legal and technical elaboration of amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, approved by the all-Russian vote on July 1, 2020, does not correspond to the level of the Basic Law. Oddly enough, the constitutional legislator ignored a number of basic technical means, rules and methods of legal technique. Thus, the constitutional amendments were drafted without taking into account the requirements of the structural organization of the legal act, namely: many new norms were included in inappropriate articles, the transitional provision on "resetting the deadlines" was duplicated in the main text of the Constitution. The authors of the amendments abandoned criteria of efficiency and compactness of legislative norms, having included an identical set of restrictions in nine articles of the Constitution in relation to various categories of officials. The text does not meet the requirement for uniformity of legal regulation, legal structures, the unity, simplicity and brevity of terminology: the scope of constitutional restrictions for various categories of officials differs somewhat without any objective reasons; there is no uniformity in the issue of the possibility of establishing additional requirements for officials by laws, “bifurcation” of the titles for senators (who in Chapter 9 of the Constitution are still referred to as members of the Federation Council). Insufficient attention to the requirement of consistency of legal norms has led to the creation of a new contradiction between Art. 71 and 72 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. Amendments also have a number of other legal and technical defects. Such serious and numerous defects in the legal technique of amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation became a natural result of a steady decline in the quality of federal legislation that has lasted for a long time. Constitutional amendments clearly demonstrate an insufficient level of legal culture in our country, which sharply raises the question of a radical improvement in the quality of legal technology, and legislative technology in particular.

Th e most common pathologies of the respiratory organs caused by harmful production factors include dust diseases, bronchial asthma, various variants of toxic lesions and hypersensitive pneumonitis. However, there are also more rare diseases, the awareness of doctors about which is insuffi  cient. Th ese include, in addition to alveolar proteinosis, rare forms of interstitial pneumonia, including lipoid pneumonia. Lipoid pneumonia is a rare lung disease characterized by the accumulation of lipid substances in the alveoli. Cases of development of lipoid pneumonia as a result of inhalation or aspiration of various substances, including oil products are described. Th e presented clinical observation presents a case of morphologically confi rmed disease development in an employee of the petrochemical laboratory who has been in contact with oil vapors and products of its processing for a long time. Th e main approaches to the treatment of such patients are mentioned. Due to the fact that this pathology is not in the list of occupational diseases approved in the Russian Federation, it was not possible to link the patient’s disease with  the profession. Th e article discusses the features of the legal framework in the fi eld of occupational diseases in the Russian Federation and in the world, proposed harmonization of the list of occupational diseases with the list of the international labour organization as one of the main tasks to improve the legal framework in the fi eld of occupational pathology in Russia.

The aim of the research in this work is to study the features of psychological manipulation and ways to neutralize it as components of the activities of the heads of the internal affairs body of the Russian Federation. The phenomenon of "manipulation" has been studied by researchers in this field for a long time. In general terms, it means a sequence of some intentions and actions, the final result of which is not obvious to those to whom it is directed. The development of the global information and communication environment makes various theoretical and applied knowledge of a specific property available to a wide range of people and creates favorable conditions for the use of this knowledge for the purpose of manipulation and manipulative influence on certain social groups, entire social systems and their individual representatives. By the nature of their activities, the heads of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation often have to deal with psychological manipulation, the involvement in which is related to official necessity. A study (survey) was carried out with the participation of 50 students of the management faculty of the Academy of Management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia aged 30 to 55 years, the purpose of which was to study the features of psychological manipulation in the activities of the head of the internal affairs body of the Russian Federation. The results of the study showed that there is a need to develop the manager's competence in the field of manipulative influence. Today in psychological science and practice there are many technologies for the use, recognition and protection from psychological manipulations, which can be successfully used by the heads of the internal affairs bodies of the Russian Federation in managerial activities, but this requires special training from them.

The purpose of the article is to consider the content of the main changes provided for by amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation proposed by the President of the Russian Federation in January 202, regarding regulation of the legal status of the Federation Council. Attention, in particular, is focused on expanding the personnel powers of the upper house of the Russian parliament, as well as changing the formation of the Fe­deration Council. It is substantiated that the amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation contribute to the improvement of the system of checks and balances, including by strengthening the role of parliament. This goal is also served by securing directly in the Constitution of the Russian Federation the control powers of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, which for a long time was regulated solely in sectoral legislation. The article also proposes a solution to the issue of a different approach to the establishment of the term of office of senators from subjects and senators — representatives of the Russian Federation. The conclusion is made that the proposed amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation contribute to strengthening the role of the Federation Council in the political life of the country. Within the framework of this research, we used formal logical (analysis) and comparative legal methods.

The right to free work and choice of activity is enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation. At the same time, ensuring and protecting the labor rights of citizens is one of the main categories of the rule of law. The legislation of the Russian Federation regulating labor relations is aimed at encouraging a conscientious attitude to work for a long time, and one of these types of encouragement is the title Veteran of labor. However, in practice, quite often there are certain difficulties that arise due to departmental and regional rulemaking. The article attempts to analyze the current situation based on judicial practice.
