The electric power industry is a basic sector of Russia's economy that creates necessary conditions for the activity of productive forces and life of the population. The results of electric power industry reorganization in our country are rather ambiguous. The structural changes were carried without taking the vertical integration principles in consideration, which had a significant impact on the pricing policy and investment programs. The results of studying the current state of the sector in the Russian Federation are presented, and recommendations on solving the existing problems based on the vertical integration principles are given. It is pointed out that vertically integrated companies that manage generation, distribution, transmission, and sales do not come in contradiction with the market conditions and, what is more, guarantee the power supply reliability. The relevance of this problem is stemming from the fact that the prices for electricity have a significant influence on the country economy as a whole. Under the currently existing conditions of the rapidly changing world policy, it is especially important to use vertical integration for gaining the maximum efficiency. Thus, these principles are the basis for creating an optimal market structure.

Administrative Responsibility

A thorough analysis of liability for administrative offence is not possible without clear understanding of its preconditions. The problem of preconditions for administrative responsibility is directly related to administrative delictization of offenses, effectiveness of the fight against delict, prominent state policy in the field of law enforcement and law order. In this aspect, the role of the preconditions for administrative responsibility is a lot more important because they formulate proper foundations for achieving its general objectives. Thus, they determine the effectiveness of administrative responsibility at sectoral and general social levels. The importance of the definition is due to the urgent needs of rule-making and law enforcement practice, the effectiveness of which directly depends on how reasonable and appropriate each administrative delict norm is. Unfortunately, despite all its scientific and practical significance, the issue of preconditions for administrative liability has not been resolved yet. Therefore, there is a need to form unified, consistent scientific approach to understanding the grounds for administrative liability. To this end, the article provides a critical analysis of the basic doctrinal concepts of the preconditions of administrative responsibility. A wide range of social, economic, technical and other factors that determine the effectiveness of administrative responsibility, its current state, its dynamics and prospects for its development have been studied. Discovered the role of these factors in creating a favorable socio-economic and information-technical environment for the implementation of the main tasks of administrative responsibility, in particular: offences prevention, reliable protection of public relations and education of citizens in the spirit of law. The author concluded the scientific and practical expediency of the systematic study of the preconditions for establishing administrative responsibility (preconditions for administrative delictization) and the preconditions for the effectiveness of administrative responsibility.

The presence of a stable coordinate basis, fixed on the ground by a network of geodetic points is one of the key factors in the single geospace successful formation. Current state of the Novosibirsk region network analysis has shown that a significant amount of outdoor sings points were lost due to the citizens’ economical activities and a number of other factors as well. That has caused significant difficulties in using such points. The purpose of this paper is to study state geodetic network, state levelling network and state gravimetric network points’ security regime. The scientific significance of this paper is seen as a way to determine the role of the specified security zones in the special territory usage conditions system, as well as the classification of such zones. The practical significance of the article is to forecast possible ways of improving state geodetic network, state levelling network and state gravimetric network points’ security regime. The research methodology includes the current security zone regime state analysis as well as forecasting the possible way of its improvement in the future. The main conclusions of this paper indicate that geoinformation systems play a key role in preventing damage and loss of objects which provide human activity on the Russian territory: zones with special conditions are created, which include state geodetic network, state leveling network and state gravimetric network protection zones. Timely provision of their security can guarantee the smooth operation of the entire state as a whole. To prevent of state geodetic network points’ further loss, it is necessary to create a united information resource (geoportal), which would reflect the existing and projected security zones using 3D representation.
