Subject. The article discusses the organization of analytical activities in the customs authorities of the Russian Federation. Objectives. The aim is to assess the existing organization of analytical activities in the customs authorities of the Russian Federation and formulate promising directions for its development based on foreign experience in the introduction of intelligent data processing technologies. Methods. The study rests on methods of expert assessment of the analytical activities of customs authorities. Results. We disclose the content and role of analytical activities of the customs authorities of the Russian Federation, consider the organization of their analytical units from the perspective of modern theory and practice of management. Using the expert analysis methods, we evaluate the status of analytical activities of the said authorities and describe the mechanism of their development on the basis of foreign experience in the introduction of intelligent data processing technologies. The developed analysis technology can be used at all structural levels of the Russian Federal Customs Service, in assessing and analyzing the databases of customs authorities. Conclusions.

The  article is  devoted to  the  study of  the  connection between the  doctrine of  constitutional identity with the  doctrine of “counter-limits” and the doctrine of “ultra vires”. All these concepts are applied in the practice of European constitutional courts in cases related to the resolution of conventionally constitutional conflicts. Since the doctrine of “constitutional identity” in domestic theory and practice is in its infancy, in the author’s opinion, it is necessary to take into account the foreign experience of protecting national constitutional identity. And also carefully consider all related concepts, such as the doctrine of counter-limits and the doctrine of “ultra vires”, paying special attention to the topic of their relationship. The author, analyzing the doctrine of “counter-limits” and the doctrine of “ultra vires”, comes to the conclusion that these doctrines, along with other instruments for protecting national constitutional identity (the doctrine of the margin of appreciation), can be used in relation to the dispute between the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the ECHR on “the right of the last word”.

A wide spread of various illegal methods of stealing cashless funds using modern information technologies makes it necessary to search for more advanced approaches to assessing such actions. Specialists examine different approaches to determining methods of theft in the information environment and analyze the opinions of scholars presented in the doctrine of criminal law, as well as legislative and court statutes adopted during the whole period that the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation has been in force (from 1997 to 2020). The authors of the article pay special attention to the approaches of assessing the widespread methods of stealing cashless money in the theory, legislative sphere and practice. It is noted that current criminal legislation reflects a new approach to assessing theft in the information environment, developed on the basis of modern theory and practice. The authors point out that in modern criminal law theory there are three main trends in assessing the methods of stealing cashless money in the information environment. They are: criminalization of the new form of theft, new types of crimes in Ch. 21 or 28 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation; viewing this theft as a variety of traditional forms of theft and other acquisitive crimes against property; application of the existing norms of traditional crimes in Ch. 21 and 28 of the CC of the RF. The authors also note that in the period following the adoption of criminal legislation, the illegal acquisition of cashless funds in the information environment has been assessed differently: as a type of traditional theft by deceit in the form of fraud; as separate types of fraud depending on the method; as separate types of fraud depending on the method and theft. The authors conduct a detailed analysis of the contents of new criminal law norms and the developed theoretical (court) statutes, identify their positive and negative features, and present their own understanding of the effectiveness of the new approach to assessing online theft of cashless money incorporated in current criminal legislation.

The subject of the research within the framework of the article is the criminal procedure institute for the detention of a person on suspicion of committing a crime. The legal nature of this institution is analyzed, and comments are given on the normative legal acts and judicial practice regulating the issues of detention. The theoretical basis of the research is based on the publications of the last two decades on this problem, in particular, reflecting the discussion of the process scientists S. A. Shafer, S. B. Rossinsky and A. A. Tarasov, the subject of which was the issue of the legal nature of a suspect detention in a criminal case. In the paper, the authors ask the following questions: What is the detention of a person on suspicion of committing a crime in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation? From what moment does the detained person acquire the status of a suspect? Is it possible to detain a person before initiating a criminal case? The study concludes that a person acquires the actual status of a suspect from the moment of direct detention, that is, before documenting this status and, as a result, before initiating a criminal case. Amendments to the articles of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation are proposed, and the authors` versions of the definitions of the concepts «detention of a suspect», «the moment of actual detention» and «pre-trial proceedings» are given.
