The institute of the deferral of punishment is one of the steadily developing institutes of contemporary criminal law in the Russian Federation that reflects a trend for the humanization of punishment, the economy of repressive criminal law measures, and for widening the list of measures and sanctions alternative to punishment. The relevance of the key aspects of research presented in the article is connected with the fact that the evolution of the institute of deferral of punishment in the doctrine of criminal law gives rise to a number of discussions both about the legal nature of this institute, its role and place among other criminal law measures, and the specific features of its application in the practice of law enforcement. Deferral of punishment is a socially relevant institute in Russian criminal law aimed at the correction of convicts without severing their socially relevant links. The impact of the requirements of international legislation on reducing the number of persons isolated from society and a wide use of alternative punishments in Russia have lead to a wider application of the deferral of punishment. The authors analyze specific aspects of the legal regulation of the deferral of punishment, study the criminologically relevant characteristics of persons to whom this criminal law measure is applied, as well as the law enforcement practice of appointing and enforcing the deferral of punishment. They present the results of surveying 250 convicts, and also of interviewing 300 employees of the penitentiary system, who ensure compliance with the requirements of law on the deferral of punishment in a number of regions of the Russian Federation, such as the Udmurt Republic, the Bashkortostan Republic, Kurgan Region, Kirov Region, Sverdlovsk Region, Chelyabinsk Region and Perm Region. The research also includes the analysis of departmental and court statistics, federal legislation and departmental normative acts. The conducted research allowed the authors to present their suggestions on improving the current legislation of the Russian Federation that regulates the penitentiary sphere.

Research background. Despite the enormous attention of the scientific community, legislators, and law enforcement officials to the development and implementation of measures to combat cybercrime, the sphere of blockchain functioning and cryptocurrency circulation remains outside the scope of most criminal law research. This causes perplexity in the context of the desire of state bodies to introduce blockchain technology in many significant areas of society, as well as to introduce a regulatory framework dedicated to the issues of private and public legal regulation of digital financial assets. Concerns are also caused by the increase in the number of cybercrimes and the increasing involvement in them of the blockchain technology and virtual currencies, the circulation of which is carried out based on blockchain. The need to study the prospects for criminal law regulation of the blockchain functioning spheres in the territory of the Russian Federation becomes more and more obvious in such conditions. Study objective: to identify and to study the main challenges (problems) for modern criminal law regulation of the blockchain functioning sphere, possible barriers (obstacles) that reduce the effectiveness of such regulation, as well as potential directions for responding to these challenges and overcoming such barriers. Methods: formal legal and comparative legal research methods are widely used in conjunction with systemic, logical, and philological methods of interpreting the norms of law. The empirical part of the study is based on the investigation of judicial and other law enforcement practices, as well as transcripts of meetings of the State Duma of the Russian Federation and information from the media about criminal offenses that have become widespread in the sphere of blockchain functioning. The analysis of modern foreign and Russian scientific literature relevant to the selected research topic is carried out. Results and novelty: it is the first time that comprehensive analysis of the challenges of the current stage of the blockchain functioning sphere development, as well as legislative, law enforcement, doctrinal, and social barriers for creating a system of effective and comprehensive criminal law regulation of the named sphere, is carried out. The author’s concept of the directions of responding to the analyzed challenges and overcoming the corresponding barriers is presented.

The research issue is to identify the shortcomings of legal management of tax responsibility of banks in case of their non-execution of tax authorities’ decisions, as well as to define the possible directions of improvement of legislation and law enforcement practice in this sphere. The aims and objectives of the research are as follows: (1) to analyze the provisions of Article 134 and Article 135 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, which establish the responsibility of banking organizations as participants of the fiscal relations and to analyze the application of provisions of these articles by judicial and tax authorities; (2) to identify the problems of bringing to responsibility credit banking organizations for their non-execution of tax authorities’ decisions; (3) to develop recommendations for improvement of legal regulation. The methods of the research include analysis, analogy, legalistic method and integrated interpretation. The results of the research are as follows. It has been justified that the sum of debt of a taxpayer, established to bring banks to legal responsibility under Article 134 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, shall not include the sums of fines and penalties, as the bank is not a real participant of legal relations ‘tax authority – taxpayer’ and is deprived of the right to appeal the sum, which serves as the basis for establishing the sum of fine.

This article discusses the problems of environmental safety in the sphere of disposing of domestic and industrial wastes in the environment as one of the most important aspects of sustainable development of society. At present, this problem is one of the top priorities and is being solved at the world level. With the emergence of the consumer nature of society, the issue of waste disposal becomes more acute, requiring immediate solutions on a global scale. At present, the quantity and variety of solid household waste (MSW) in the countries is rapidly increasing. This is typical not only for industry, agriculture, megacities, but also for individual residents. At the beginning of 2014, the Russian Federation accumulated more than 35 billion tons of waste. The problem of garbage is not just a difficulty, but a global environmental challenge. One of the main reasons is that there are no mechanisms for regulating the market for collection and processing of solid domestic waste in Russia. We can also say that there is a shortage of specialists in this field, competent managers capable of establishing the entire chain of waste utilization. In the Russian Federation, this problem is as acute as it is throughout the world. Unauthorized landfills are one of the components of this problem. The state should pay more attention to legal regulation of this issue, engage in environmental and legal culture of citizens in order to prevent the emergence of unauthorized landfills, their prompt liquidation, and protect the constitutional rights of citizens to an environmentally safe environment.

The Institute of mitigating and aggravating circumstances is presented not only in the norms of the General part of the criminal legislation of the Russian Federation. The application of these circumstances in the construction of individual elements of a crime allows the legislator to differentiate the orientation of the criminal law influence in relation to a specific crime element or in qualifying the fact of life reality. In law enforcement practice, proving the subjective side of a crime often causes significant problems. At the same time, motivation and achievement of a specific goal of committing a crime can have both a mitigating and an aggravating effect. The subjective side has a significant impact not only on the design of the offenses of the Special Part of the Criminal Law, but also on the process of sentencing through legal regulation of circumstances mitigating or aggravating criminal punishment. In this regard, both general and mandatory features of the subject of the crime also affect the procedure for establishing guilt and determining punishment in accordance with the norms of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Of scientific interest is the study of the influence of the process of legal regulation of mitigating and aggravating circumstances in terms of the impact on this process of subjective signs of criminal behavior.

The relevance of the study is based, on the one hand, on high public danger of crimes in the sphere of labor relations and, on the other hand, on a very low interest of law enforcement, control and supervision bodies in these crimes. The authors show that modern criminal legislation in the sphere of protecting labor rights has a high potential in comparison with both Soviet and foreign criminal law norms. At the same time, this potential, primarily expressed in Chapter 19 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, remains untapped. Many norms, including Art. 136 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation «Violating the Equality of Rights and Freedoms of Man and Citizen», are virtually never used against discrimination in the labor sphere, although such discrimination is quite common. No such cases have been found in court statistical data, thus it is impossible to provide a comprehensive criminological description of these crimes. The norm of Art. 136 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is seldom used by law enforcers because it is legally ambiguous. In this connection the authors suggest complementing the disposition of Art. 136 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation with such factors of discrimination as «age» and «marital status». The latter factor will make it possible to provide extra protection to pregnant women and women with children under three years old against unmotivated refusal of employment and firing. The authors argue that such actions of the employer should constitute an aggregate of crimes and should be punished simultaneously under Art. 136 and 145 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. At the same time, the authors think that it is not appropriate to make the disposition of Art. 136 a blanket one due to vague grounds for discrimination in special legislation, including labor legislation. The obtained results could be used for the improvement of Russian legislation based on theoretical research and the practice of law enforcement.
