Due to the introduction of the digital economy on the territory of the Russian Federation and the urgency of the problem of implementing the distributed registry system (Blockchain) in various financial spheres, including the system of accounting for pension rights and obligations in the state and non-state pension systems, an attempt was made to assess the principles of implementing the Blockchain mechanism in the system of accounting for pension rights, insurance premiums and pension payments. The current system of centralized registries is based on the full confidence of its participants-clients. In particular, persons insured in the pension system. The non-transparency of the non-state pension component and the periodic changes in the state pension system seriously undermine this trust of citizens. Thus, the system of distributed registries that will solve this problem operates on the principles of transparency, availability for verification, reliability (security of transactions), economy, and trust on the part of customers. The article also considers the problem of formation and distribution of the accumulative pension component. The analysis of its losses and features of transfer to different pension organizations - participants of the state pension insurance system is carried out. It is proposed to solve the problems associated with these processes by implementing a system of distributed registries and smart contracts. In conclusion, the advantages and disadvantages of the distributed registry system are presented, as well as the difficulties of its implementation in the near future in the pension system of the Russian Federation are analyzed.

The present paper defines that the changes made to the pension legislation in the process of the ongoing pension reform have seriously modernized the mechanism for the formation of pension rights of persons insured in the compulsory pension insurance system, and have tightened the conditions for assigning old-age pensions. The analysis made it possible to identify the features of the formation of pension rights in terms of insurance and funded pensions for various categories of insured persons. Assessment of the pension rights for 2017 of 27,015 thousand employees of medium and large organizations and individual entrepreneurs insured in the compulsory pension insurance system (CPS), made it possible to conclude that under the current rules for the formation of pension rights to persons insured in the compulsory pension insurance system, in the conditions of the economic crisis prevailing in the Russian Federation, after the end of the transition period in 2024, a significant category of employees will need more than 15 years of insurance experience to be eligible to assign an old-age insurance pension. Starting from 2024, the number of people who have not received the right to an old-age insurance pension and who can expect to receive a social old-age pension only after five years will significantly increase among those who have reached retirement age. Among those retiring, the number of persons who have formed the minimum retirement points will increase; accordingly, in the future, the number of pensioners receiving the minimum pension, the size of which is lower than the pensioner's subsistence minimum, will increase. The authors concluded that to improve the situation with the formation of pension rights, first of all, it is necessary to stabilize the economic situation in the country, to ensure the development of the economy, to increase the income of the insured in the compulsory pension insurance system. In addition, it is necessary to activate the state policy in the field of legalization of labor relations, make changes to the mechanism for the formation of pension rights, linking this mechanism with the real contribution of the employee throughout his labor activity, thereby increasing his interest in the formation of pensions, and for categories of employees with traditional low incomes and those employed in socially significant spheres of activity (for example, education, health care, science) to make the transition to the state pension system.

The pension system of the Russian Federation has undergone three fundamental reforms. In 1992, the first law on pensions began to operate in Russia, which significantly differed from the Union legislation. In 2002, insurance principles were introduced into the pension system, which led to a change in the entire system of pension coverage for persons working under an employment contract, including new types of pension coverage. In 2015, there was a significant reform of the existing insurance pension system, which in its significance is no less significant than all the previous changes in the pension legislation. Each pension reform changed the procedure for calculating pensions, legislatively establishing a new pension formula for determining the amount of a pension. Along with this, the structural elements of pensions also changed. At the same time, it is possible to identify similar features in the structural elements of pensions assigned in different periods, but at the functional level. The totality of similar functions of pension elements allows us to talk about certain patterns in the development of the pension provision of the Russian Federation. So, despite the change in the nature of pensions from state to insurance, the essence of pensions, in general, remained the same. Moreover, the essence and functions of the elements of state and insurance pensions are largely the same. The pension is a social security payment with a complex structure. The presence of a structure, the presence of elements and connections between them, indicates a complex function performed by a pension. This function cannot be reduced to a compensatory function, a function of assistance or a function of substitution of earnings. There is an element in the pension structure that reflects past employment. In pensions of different nature, this happens in different ways: wages are taken into account (in state pensions) or insurance contributions (in compulsory pension insurance pensions). In addition, the pension should include an element that increases the amount of the pension in the presence of special circumstances of a subjective nature: disabled dependents, the need for constant outside care. In pensions for state pension provision, such an element is supplements to pensions; in compulsory pension insurance, this function is performed by a fixed payment. Social pensions and funded pension are one-component payments, which raises questions not only about the nature of these pensions, but also about their essence.

The formation of a pension system that has integrity, safety, efficiency and meets the needs of citizens is a socially significant and scientific task. To solve such problems, it is necessary not only to focus on the priorities of strategic planning, but also to constantly search for methodological tools, new regulatory levers and management methods, especially in the face of increasing all kinds of social risks. The purpose of the study is to show the need to address issues related to the identification of social risks, assessment of their impact on the citizens’ pension provision, which will ensure a clear understanding of the effectiveness of the applied mechanisms of state pension insurance in the Russian Federation. The author’s research was carried out on the basis of statistical, regulatory, expert, balance methods, as well as the stress testing method, which made it possible to assess the level of social risks of one of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The main results of the study are as follows: the current statistics of the state of pension provision of Russian citizens is presented; a method of stress testing for identification and assessment of the level of social risks was proposed and tested; the key factors of the emergence of the latter are identified. The article reflects scientific results that demonstrate the normal level of social risks and the adequacy of reserves in the event of their strengthening on the example of a specific subject. The main conclusions of the authors prove the need for social risk management and the formation of an effective pension system for Russian citizens, taking the implementation of preventive measures into account. Reducing social risks for the population will make it possible to successfully pursue state policy and have civil confidence in the future.

The author considers the concept of «pensionary good» and the specifics of its production at the state and non-state levels. The purpose of the study is to analyze the actions aimed at creating a «pensionary good» under the influence of incentives and coercion. Drawing on the theory of goods, the author comes to conclusion that the elements of pensionary good can be produced in the form of public goods, merit goods, club goods and private goods. The author identifies the specifics of pensionary good structure at the analyzed levels and shows that national pension in the Russian Federation is based on coercion, with stimulation being of secondary importance. Non-state-funded retirement also uses the coercion and incentives. It has been established that coercion and incentives provide contradictory results as mechanisms used in the process of producing a pensionary good. While preparing the article, the author used the data from the Federal Statistic Service, the Pension Fund of Russia and various sociological surveys and scientific works on pensions and insurance. The conclusions of the study may be useful for further research on the development of Russian pension system.

Introduction: the paper is devoted to a new phenomenon in business activity in the conditions of IT development that contribute to the creation of secure contractual relations on the Internet on the basis of transactions executed through smart contracts. The author notes that the need for amendments that could fill the loopholes in the current legislation is obvious. And, first of all, it concerns Blockchain technology – the algorithm that mediates the safe development, conclusion and execution of smart contracts. Blockchain technology is considered in the paper as one of the safest means for concluding and executing smart contracts. The author argues that the study of the concept, legal nature and essence of smart contracts is relevant in the light of spreading their share in the total array of transactions in the world economy in conjunction with the changing domestic legislation governing the relevant sphere, as well as the international integration processes affecting the intensification of foreign economic activity of the Russian Federation. The smart contract concepts formulated by the Russian legislator in the process of upgrading the array of statutory regulation under conditions of economy digitalization are studied and compared. The features of conclusion and protection of the smart contract in the civil legislation of the Russian Federation are analyzed. In order to fully articulate the concept of the smart contract, reflecting its essence, functional purpose and legal nature, it is proposed to create a special law that would focus on the conclusion and implementation of “the smart contract” and the specification of the general norms of the civil code. At the same time, the norms of other special laws would supplement and correct the provisions fixed by this act depending on the sphere of managing and the legal regulation branch. The concept of the smart contract is formulated; its value for economic and contractual activity, and also the advantages and disadvantages of its application are established. The possible classifications of smart contracts are given.

The article is devoted to the necessary defense as a circumstance that precludes the criminality of an act in the criminal legislation of the Russian Federation. The significance and importance of the existence of this norm is proclaimed both in the criminal law and in the Basic law of the state – the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The existence of a rule on necessary defense in the state emphasizes the development of its legal system, allowing citizens to defend their own interests and protect the interests of others, in ways not prohibited by law, thereby preventing exceeding the limits of necessary defense. A number of issues related to the application of the norms provided for in article 37 of the Criminal code of Russia, as well as the norms of the Special part of the Criminal code of Russia, which provide for liability for crimes committed when exceeding the limits of necessary defense, were raised. The study of the relevant norms makes it possible to identify the advantages and disadvantages of legal regulation of circumstances that exclude the criminality of an act, including the shortcomings of judicial and investigative practice. The author criticizes the existing approach and suggests ways to resolve these problems, including by correcting the resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated September 27, 2012, № 19 «About application by courts of legislation on necessary defense and causing harm when detaining a person who has committed a crime». Because of the ambiguous and often inconsistent application of norms of the criminal legislation on necessary defense, the authors give the recommendations (in further reconstruction of the relevant provisions of article 37 of the Criminal Code) to use an enumeration approach of presenting the legal formulation of these rules that allow the defender to cause any harm to an attacker. At the same time, it creates the most understandable, for citizens, formulation of the norm that allows lawfully causing harm to public relations protected by criminal law.
