The article investigates the reforms introduced by Alexander II through the prism of a comparative analysis of western and eastern civilizations. The author maintains that, having long developed as eastern civilization, Russia is characterized by oriental despotism, absence of a constructive dialogue between government and society, paternalistic social consciousness, legal nihilism. The author assesses historical data on reforms implemented by Alexander II and comes to the conclusion that the reforms signified an attempt to converge with western civilization. Alexander II‟s reforms enhanced the importance of law, highlighted the principle of everyone‟s equality before the law, encouraged a constructive dialogue between government and society, and underlined the inadmissibility of plenipotentiary autocratic power and despotism. However, since it is not easy to change public mind, western innovations remained closely associated with oriental traditions, such as the importance of community, paternalism, and legal nihilism. The author concludes that though Alexander II‟s reforms introduced some elements of western civilization, Russian society remained essentially oriental.

The article examines the ideological basis of the legal policy for the criminal sphere of Russian society. The author notes that, in spite of optimistic criminological indices found in official statistics, it is too early to conclude that the criminal situation in the country is stable. It is stressed that the situation with law and order in modern Russia is far from ideal due to, largely, a lack of a sound criminal policy. The author assesses the contemporary condition of Russian criminal policy as a crisis and stresses that this crisis is, primarily, an ideological one. The paper states that in today’s Russia the question of developing any policy, including criminal policy, is very sensitive due to the polarization of opinions as to whether this process should rely on a radical modernization of its ideological basis or it should use national foundations while taking into account the existing traditions. Within this context, the author notes that the Russian state was historically based on a system of obligations placed on a person, and it still uses the idea of obligations and (or) the system of the Gospel’s Commandments. However, today this fundamental basis is eroded by the values of uncontrolled liberalism, which not only dictates permissiveness in all spheres of life, but also imposes this ideology as the only one possible. The author believes that this path is absolutely unacceptable for Russia because, unlike the Western civilization, that has successfully replaced morals with the law, the Orthodox civilization has always given priority to the moral norms. Based on the presented material, the author concludes that, while formulating the clauses of criminal legal policy in contemporary Russia, it is necessary to rely upon its specific national features, and that the ideological basis should not contradict basic values that have been developing in the society for thousands of years. This approach will benefit the lawfulness of citizens and will reduce the level of legal nihilism, which is a serious obstacle for the effective use of law.

The article provides a comparative analysis of the influence of L.N. Tolstoy and I.I. Sergiev (John of Kronstadt) on the formation of personal worldview in Russian society. The analysis is based on the testimonies of the contemporaries and the previously not reissued publication of “Novy Put” (“New Way”) journal on the subject. In the context of the declared problematics, special attention is paid to the question of transformation of religious consciousness in the course of the personality formation in relation to the period under consideration (the beginning of the 20th century). The author reveals and analyzes the main components of the life stand of Tolstoy and Father John of Kronstadt in the context of their influence on contemporaries. The results of the study allow to reveal the following antitheses that characterize Tolstoy and John of Kronstadt, respectively: doubt - faith, search for oneself – following the once chosen path, preaching of non-resistance as part of the philosophy of not-doing (not doing evil) – preaching of active upholding of faith (doing good), “simple living” – real life with and for common people.

Important Position

The realization that the directors occupy important position in corporate governance, and as business men and women, cannot be prevented from having dealings with the company, demand a close scrutiny of corporate transactions in which they are directly or indirectly involved or have an interest to ensure that such interest is not placed above their duty to the company. One of the ways in which the law strives to achieve this balance is by imposing a duty on the director to disclose to the board any interest he has in company’s transactions. This requirement which was previously governed by the common law and the company’s articles, is presently increasingly finding a place in companies statutes in different jurisdictions. The paper examines, through a comparative analysis, the provisions on the duty of the director to disclose interest in company’s transactions in South Africa and United Kingdom with the aim of discovering the extent to which the statute in both jurisdictions upholds the common law prescriptions. The paper argues that the need for transparency in corporate governance and the preservation of the distinct legal personality of the company demand that the duty to disclose interest should be upheld even in those cases of companies run by a sole director.
