The paper is devoted to the study of the institution of constitutional and legal responsibility of the Government before the Parliament in Russia at the present time. In connection with the implementation of the Constitutional Reform in 2020, the author notes that the legislator has taken the path of strengthening the role and importance of the Parliament in terms of monitoring the activities of the Government. Nevertheless, the main drawback of the current legislation is still the lack of real sanctions that the Russian Parliament can apply independently in relation to the Russian Government or its individual members. Therefore, the author proposes a number of new sanctions, as well as a number of measures aimed at improving the existing mechanisms for applying sanctions of constitutional responsibility. In particular, it is proposed to introduce the right of the State Duma of the Russian Federation to present its own nominees for vacant positions in the Government, the approval of which is under the authority of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, to enable the State Duma to independently release individual members of the Government from positions approved by it. In addition, it is proposed to improve the procedure for expressing a vote of no confidence in the Government by the State Duma, namely, to introduce the obligation of the President of the Russian Federation to dismiss the Government of the Russian Federation in the event that the State Duma re-expresses no confidence in the Government within three months. It is also proposed to increase the role of the Council of Federation of the Russian Federation by introducing the power of this body not only to consult with the President of the Russian Federation, but to approve the corresponding candidacies of federal ministers proposed to this body by the President of the Russian Federation. The author notes that the proposed improvement measures will increase the effectiveness of the implementation of a number of federal laws regulating the parliamentary responsibility of the Government of the Russian Federation.


The article reveals the main features of the constitutional legal status of the President of the Russian Federation in the context of mixed parliamentary and presidential form of government. The researcher explores some directions of the President’s participation in formation of the Government such as the appointment of the Chairman of the Government by the President with the consent of the State Duma; Presidents’s approval of the governmental structure including relevant federal ministries on the proposal of the Chairman of the Government; personal appointment of the Deputy Prime Minister and the Federal Ministers by the President on the proposal of the Chairman of the Government. Special attention is paid to the fact that of legalistic and factual dominance of the President in each of these directions. Also it is proved that certain provisions of the RF Constitution and Federal constitutional law «On the Government of the Russian Federation» do not fully correlate with the norms of presidential decrees in determining the structure and composition of the Government, which increases the degree of the official discretion of the President. The author stresses the role of the President in formation of the Government as one of the conditions for recognizing his technical and actual status as the head of state and the head of the executive branch of the Russian Federation and who has strong powers against other state bodies under a weak party-parliamentary system. This is a typical feature of a transitional state.

Due to the new coronavirus pandemic, high alert regimes were introduced across the Russian Federation in spring 2020. These emergency regimes were established exclusively by the state bodies of the Russian Federation’s constituent units – federal authorities did not introduce their own emergency regimes. This decentralized strategy of fighting the pandemic was also introduced by the USA and Brazil. Their states, without the sanction of the federal government, and in the case of Brazil, ignoring its bans, set emergency restrictions similar to those in Russia. The legal regulation of emergency regimes existed before 2020, when constituent units of the federation (states) actively used their emergency powers. However, the regimes introduced during the fight against the pandemic were slightly different to previous ones. The restrictions on rights and freedoms within these regimes were so severe that not only their proportionality was questioned, but there were also doubts as to whether the regional level of the government had the authority to establish such strict restrictions. In addition, the pandemic exposed old problems and revealed new shortcomings in the legal regulation of emergency regimes: lack of control over the realization of the emergency regime by legislative (representative) authorities, and gaps in legislative regulation – notably in the establishment of possible restrictions and of a mechanism for scrutinizing their proportionality. All this raised questions about the proportionality of the established restrictions. The Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation resolved a very insignificant amount of the problems. While the United States and Brazil faced similar issues, the practice of scrutinizing implemented restrictions in these countries was more common. This article takes domestic and foreign experiences into account, while examining certain aspects of the establishment and the operation of regional emergency regimes.

Results: the paper is devoted to the existing problems of the legal regulation of digital technologies in labor relations for the expedient and empirical updating of many legal norms, from which in the future it will be possible to start, change and supplement it, adhering to a fundamental change in labor relations in order to develop non-standard and fruitful employment. Conclusions: as a result of the conducted research it is established that in the Russian Federation the labor legislation regulating the electronic legal employment relations is fragmented and does not contain all the elements of the legal regulation. There is a need for the legislation on archive business in electronic form, the widespread introduction of electronic employment contracts, which can serve as the basis for the electronic personnel records management. The labor legislation should contain the provisions on the equivalence of an electronic labor contract to a written form.

Due to the emergence of a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19), measures aimed at limiting its spread have made it impossible to administer justice in compliance with its democratic principles, implying the possibility of personal participation of all interested parties in court procedures to effectively defend their interests. In this regard, on April 8, 2020, the Presidium of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation adopted a decree recommending that the courts, among other measures, intensify the work of Internet receptions, ensure the reception, processing and registration of documents submitted to the courts in electronic form, including in the form of an electronic document, consider cases and materials of urgent nature in court hearings using the video-conferencing system and (or) the web-conference system. Despite the fact that in accordance with the program for the development of the Russian judicial system, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated December 27, 2012 № 1406, the modernization of the work of courts based on digital technologies has already begun in the country, their development in criminal proceedings lags behind other methods of administering justice. Given this circumstance, as well as the actual absence in the criminal process of electronic document management and legal regulation of the grounds and procedure for conducting a trial in the mode of a web conference, the article attempts to determine the limits of the possibilities of using new technologies in criminal proceedings, to substantiate the conclusion that that the use of digital technology in criminal proceedings is not only possible, but necessary, as well as to determine the direction of development of criminal proceedings in this direction.

Introduction: the paper discusses the study of the basic principles and methods of determining rental rates for the use of land owned by the state and municipal authorities. Despite the increasing trend of the privatization of state-owned land, its significant proportion is still under the state ownership. In this regard, a significant share of court proceedings in the Arbitration courts falls precisely on those disputes that relate to the determination of the procedure for establishing the rent of state-owned real estate in Russia. In this regard, the author set the goal – to study the problem of establishing the amount of the rent for the land held by tenants for housing after bringing into force Resolution of the Government of the Russian Government No. 582 of July 16, 2009 “On the basic principles of determining the rent for leases of land plots in the state or municipal ownership, and on the Rules for determining the amount of rent and the order of the conditions and terms of payment of rent for land in the ownership of the Russian Federation” (hereinafter – “Resolution No. 582”). Methods: the methodological framework for the study is a set of methods of scientific knowledge, among which the main one is the comparative law method, as well as the methods of systematization and analysis. Results: the author’s position grounded in the work is based on the analysis of the legislation and the opinions of the scientists expressed in the competent scientific community on the issue of establishing the basic rates for renting the state real estate. Conclusions: as a result of the study, the main principles of determining the rates for renting the state-owned real estate, as well as the procedure for determining them, were analyzed. It was established that the amount of rent for land plots that were provided to tenants for housing construction after the entry into force of Resolution No. 582 should not exceed 2 % of the cadastral value of such real estate.
