The topic of the article is very relevant, first of all, due to the fact that today the development of the information and telecommunication services market involves almost all areas of people’s life in the field of e-commerce. Until April 2020, it was not possible to purchase a medicinal product online on the territory of the Russian Federation due to the lack of a regulatory legal framework regulating such a mechanism. However, at the moment, the relevant legislation has entered into force, regulating in detail the sale of medicines in a remote format. Taking into account the presented circumstances, it seems to us that the issue of studying new legislative acts in the field of remote sale of medicines on the territory of the Russian Federation is largely being updated. The subject of the article is the mechanism of legal regulation of remote sale of medicines in Russia. The purpose of the study is to identify the problems of legal regulation of the process of remote sale of medicines in the Russian Federation at the present stage. This research is based on a combination of groups of classical general scientific methods (induction, deduction, analysis, synthesis) and a number of special methods of scientific cognition applied directly within the framework of legal science (formal legal, comparative legal and others). Within the framework of the presented article, the authors carried out a conceptual analysis of the features of the legal regulation of the sale of medicines using remote technologies, taking into account the latest changes in legislation. The specifics of remote trade in prescription and over-the-counter drugs, as well as the peculiarities of labeling of medicines on the territory of the Russian Federation, are analyzed. As a result of a comprehensive study of current trends in regulatory regulation and justification of possible methods for improving the systems for issuing electronic prescriptions, as well as mandatory labeling of medicines, a conclusion is made about the possibility of further development of remote trade in medicines in the Russian Federation.

We consider the features of model terminology. The purpose of the study is to comprehend and initially describe the specifics of the basic model legislative terms and definitions, aspects and trends of their formulation and use. To achieve this goal, we analyze 157 model acts (13 codes and 144 laws) adopted by the Interparliamentary Assembly of the CIS member states in the period from 2012 to 2021; more than 2000 model terms and definitions. We note that the model term formation is carried out taking into account the established traditions of creating legal acts, the peculiarities of the hierarchical and subject-branch correlation of legislative terms and con-cepts, as well as understanding the functions, means and methods of formulating legal definitions. Model definitions of terms reflect the typical phenomena of legal discourse of unification, trans-formation, homonymy, polysemy, synonymy, antonymy of legal concepts, variability of their legal definitions. The methodological basis is formed by general scientific methods and approaches used in modern Russian studies and legal linguistics (analysis, comparison, analogy, modeling, contextual, interpretive, systemic, interdisciplinary and other approaches). The work can be useful to those whose activities are related to the official business sphere of communication, who creates, analyzes and systematizes legal acts, examines the development of legal terminology, the Russian language as the state language of the Russian Federation.

The subject of this research is the criminal law provisions on notes as a component of legislative technique and their importance for achieving such goals. The author explores the existing approaches towards the definition of the concept and essence of notes, as well as their classification. Special attention is given to the only note from the General Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation – note to Article 73, which pertains to the institution of conviction record. The goal of this work is to determine the essence and importance of the note for the development of criminal law norms dedicated to the institution of conviction record. The methodological framework of this research is comprised on the general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, comparison), formal-legal and systematic methods, as well as the relevant case law. As a result, the author formulates the definition of the concept of notes, indicates its correlation with the criminal law norm, lists the basic types of notes used in criminal law, and describes their role. The analysis of the provisions of the Article 73 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and the notes to the Article 73 revealed the new problems in legislative regulation of suspended sentence and conviction records, which prompted the author to explore these issues and offer solutions. Clarification is given to the definition of “convicts” provided in the Paragraphs “a” and “a.1” of the Part 1 of the Article 73 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Substantiation is given to the role of convict record as a separate circumstance that prevents imposition of suspended sentence. The author indicates the fact of various interpretation of the concept of “crimes against sexual integrity of minors” mentioned in the note to the Article 73 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and in the construct of the qualifying element for a number of offences of the Article 18 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, as well as substantiates inexpediency of unification of this definition. The scientific novelty consists in proposing the new wording for the purposes of the Article 18 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which the author believes should be enshrined in the new note to the Article 131 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Taking into consideration the legal nature of evidence, we analyze the main procedural features of evidence widely used by persons participating in the case when resolving civil cases related to the protection of intellectual rights, such as screenshots of materials posted on Internet sites, electronic messages. We define the general features that characterize the indicated sources of evidence in this category of disputes. We point out, in particular, the objective influence of the procedural rules governing the rules of jurisdiction over intellectual disputes, as well as the substantive rules of Part 4 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, on the features of the development and provide evidence for the protection of intellectual rights in court, sources of evidence. We describe the relationship between the concepts of electronic documents, written evidence, and evidence generated through the use of the Internet. When applying general scientific methods of comparative analysis (in relation to certain sources of evidence) and deduction (in relation to the analysis of special norms through the prism of general, basic, main procedural institutions that regulate relations in terms of the legal nature and characteristics of the evidence presentation in the category of cases under consideration), we form the main conclusions in terms of possible options for the development of these procedural institutions. We prove the necessity of the proposed changes for the purpose of the subsequent optimal functioning, action and application of the norms governing the evidence process in this category of cases, the concept of “electronic text evidence” is introduced.
