The subject of this research is the normative gaps that have been an intrinsic part of petty crime for many years. Among most discussible within the academic community problems related to such legal violation, the author selected the following: absence of legal definition of the concept of obscenities in the national legislation; complexity of delimitation of petty crime from the adjacent administrative and criminal offences; disaccord in interpretation of the concept of “public place”. Particular attention is paid to the prospects of optimization of administrative-legal norms established in the Article 20.1 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation. The main conclusion of the conducted research lies in the statement that from the perspective of legal technique, the article 20.1 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation is in a permanent motion. However, this motion is chaotic and inconsequential. The introduced amendments to the text of codified law did not enhanced the protection of public order, as well as created the additional difficulties for the law enforcer. This article makes an attempt of systemic analysis of provisions of the Federal Law No.28-FZ of 03.18.2019 that complemented the article 20.1 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation with the Sections 3-5.

We point out some trends observed in the development of Russian justice. We note the features of the historical development of the state that have influenced the legislative consolidation of administrative legal proceedings. Exploring the main approaches to the definition of administrative legal proceedings, we conditionally combine them into three large groups and characterize each of them. The various positions of legal scholars on the legal nature of administrative legal proceedings are illustrated. It is indicated that with the adoption of the Code of Administrative Judicial Procedure, there was a separation of administrative proceedings from other types, the result of which is the creation of administrative and legal means to ensure and protect public interests as well as the practical implementation of constitutional legal norms on administrative legal proceedings. We specify that the independent nature of administrative legal proceedings is determined by the specifics of this process. The features characteristic for this type of legal proceedings are analyzed. We express an opinion on the need for a more clear and unambiguous formulation of the subject of regulation of the Code of Administrative Judicial Procedure of the Russian Federation and its normative consolidation. Despite the fact that more than four years have passed since the adoption of the Code, the controversy surrounding the subject of regulation of the Code of Administrative Judicial Procedure of the Russian Federation continues to this day. In addition, we reveal the most important results of the adoption of the Code of Administrative Judicial Procedure.

The goal of this article is to verify the presented hypothesis and to research the prospects of improving the existing legal norms in order to increase the effectiveness of crime counteraction in the sphere of overcoming corruption barriers in building an innovative economy in Russia. The problems that remain urgent are: the state of economy as a cause of different types and forms of crime and the inadequate legal regulation of innovative activities. Poor legal regulation in this sphere stimulates the corruption processes. This brings about the necessity to conduct interdisciplinary economic-legal research that would stimulate further development of legal support for innovative activities with an anti-criminogenic potential. The working hypothesis of this research is that the existing legal norms make it impossible to achieve high efficiency in overcoming corruption barriers to building an innovative economy in Russia. The authors analyze the existing normative legislative support of building an innovative economy in Russia through the prism of four key spheres of state management of building an innovative economy: support of innovative small business, stimulation of innovative entrepreneurship, support of the creation and development of innovative territorial clusters and the registration of intellectual property. In order to bridge the gaps in the existing legislative support of this sphere, the authors recommend the adoption of a federal law «On State Management of Building an Innovative Economy in the Russian Federation» that would include a definition of innovative activities in a formalized format, i.e. it should be confirmed by facts. The authors present a definition of innovative activities for different businesses and recommendations for their stimulation in the Russian Federation that could be included in the suggested draft law. They predict that the federal law «On State Management of Building an Innovative Economy in the Russian Federation» could have a positive impact on the dynamics of crime and unlawfulness in the innovative sphere of modern Russia. The reduction of the share of subjectivism in the process of state management of building an innovative economy will reduce opportunities for corruption activities in the innovative sphere.

The subject of this article is the problems of the nature, essence and purpose of prosecutorial activity. The purpose of the article is to study and justify the role of the human rights function in prosecutorial activities in the concept of a modern legal state. At the heart of prosecutorial activity is the implementation of the main function of the Prosecutor’s office – its rights and freedoms, their protection. This means that any type (branch) of Prosecutor's supervision is permeated with human rights content in relation to a citizen, society, or the state. This is confirmed by the fact that the Federal law “On the Prosecutor's office of the Russian Federation” establishes an independent type of Prosecutor's supervision-supervision over the observance of human and civil rights and freedoms. It is argued that the legislation enshrines the human rights activities of the Prosecutor's office as its most important function. It is proposed to add this to the Law “On the Prosecutor's office of the Russian Federation”.

In the current legislation of the Russian Federation, there is no concept of a land dispute, which causes difficulties in determining the competence of an arbitration court in cases in which the object of the dispute is land. The article analyzes the general legal concept of a dispute and the sectoral concept of a land dispute developed by scientists. The author identified the characteristic features of a land dispute and its structural elements. The work reveals the influence of the structural elements of the land dispute on the type of production in which the dispute will be considered. In addition, the author concludes that the correct definition of the structural elements of the land dispute enables the arbitration court to determine the appropriate persons participating in the case, the subject of proof, the relevance and admissibility of evidence, and ultimately make a lawful and wellgrounded court decision.

This article is dedicated to examination of the traditional structure of the Russian institute of mediation and its possible transformations in light of the provisions of the new draft law “On Settlement of the Disputes Trough Mediation in the Russian Federation". Based on the principle of historicism and systemic analysis, the authors consider the established structure of the Institute, and highlight the three stages in development: latent, euphoria and stagnation. It is assumed that such peculiarities of development are substantiated by its implementation “from the top”. The current state of the institute of mediation, despite the fact that it remains at the “initial” level of development, can be characterizes as a years-long stagnation. Therefore, the draft of the new Federal Law on Mediation, developed by the Ministry of Justice, which in case of enactment significantly changes the structure and functional concept of mediation, became the subject of intense discussion within the professional community, since the intended radical reform is planned to be implemented “from the top”, without consideration of the opinion of professional community and interested stakeholders. Having analyzed separate elements of the institute of mediation and changes therein, the authors came to the following conclusions. One of the three key reasons for the established situation in the area of mediation is the low level of professional qualifications of mediators; incompetence of mediators impedes conducting mass mediation and further development of the institute of mediation. The second reason consists in incompetence and disunity of the professional community of mediators, absence of an authoritative body nationwide. The third reason lies in discrepancy of the development of two vectors of mediation — traditional and academic as a special trend in reconstructive approach. The presented analysis allows reassessing the current state and potential of the Russian Institute of mediation, as well as forecasting further ways of its development.

The relevance of the article stems from the adoption by the constituent entities of the Russian Federation of rules on administrative liability for failure to implement decisions of the anti-terrorist bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in situations of conflict with federal law regulations, caused by adoption of the Federal Law No. 82-FZ of 18 April 2018. This contradiction calls into question the conformity of the adopted norms of the laws on administrative liability of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation with the principle of legality, as one of the basic principles of the State’s legal system construction. The purpose of the article is to develop a position on legal conduct in a situation of con-flict with the legal norms of federal legislation in establishing administrative liability by the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The possibility of establishing administrative liability at the level of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation is enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation After the adoption of the Federal Law No 82-FZ of 18 April 2018 «On Amendments to the articles 5 and 5.1 of the Federal Law «On Counteracting Terrorism» legal conflict in the regulation of these powers has arisen. These changes affected not only the regulation of the above-mentioned powers of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, but also the system of sources of administrative liability, since Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation states: administrative liability source system refers only to the Code and the laws of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The article contains an analysis of possible interpretations of the provisions of federal laws on the powers of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation to establish adminis-trative liability for failure to implement decisions of the anti-terrorist bodies of the constituent entities of the Federation. Possible interpretations of the term «decisions of an anti-terrorist body» are analyzed from the point of view of the goals and tasks of formation of these bodies, their powers and organizational-steam form. The study concludes that it is necessary to comply with the provisions of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation when determining responsibility for failure to implement decisions of the anti-terrorist bodies of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. It is recommended that the legislatures of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation refrain from adopting such norms. It is recommended that the judicial authorities should take into account the provisions of the Decision of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of 24 March 2005 No 5 « On certain issues raised by the courts in the application of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation».
