The 1993 Constitution of the Russian Federation as one of the principles of the legal status of an individual establishes the possibility of restricting human and civil rights and freedoms, while also providing for the necessary conditions for imposing such restrictions (the existence of a constitutional goal of restriction; setting restrictions only by federal law; proportionality; compliance with international standards of restrictions; prohibition restrictions on rights based on social, racial, national, linguistic or religious affiliation). The need for the existence of restrictions on the rights and freedoms of the individual is due to various reasons: the protection of the foundations of the constitutional order, the rights and freedoms of other persons, and the interests of the state. However, certain human rights and freedoms cannot be restricted under any circumstances; this so-called absolute rights and freedoms. But neither national legislation nor international law contain a precisely defined list of absolute rights and freedoms. The aim of the article is to identify in the Constitution of the Russian Federation of 1993 and in international acts unrestricted (absolute) rights and freedoms of a person and citizen. The relevance of the research topic for the Russian constitutional legal science is due to the fact that certainty in the understanding of the list of unrestricted rights and freedoms is necessary for the improvement of lawmaking and law enforcement activities. The article examines the provisions of the Constitution of Russia, the main international legal acts on human rights, the legal positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation.

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 this article, the author examines the issues of the criminal legal status of digital currency as an objectand as a means of committing a crime. In 2020, a special Federal law was adopted defining the legal status ofdigital assets, as well as amendments were made to the Civil Code of the Russian Federation concerning theestablishment of the legal status of cryptocurrency or digital currency in the terminology of these regulationsas an object of civil rights. Significant changes in the civil legal regulation of cryptocurrencies have led to achange in approaches to assessing the criminal legal status of virtual money. In particular, the recognitionof digital currency by other property has allowed solving a number of qualification issues, but until now,criminal law is very cautious about the official recognition of cryptocurrency as the subject of a crime. Theauthor of the work offers options for the qualification of crimes committed using digital currency, in theabsence of changes in the criminal law and explanations of the Highest Court.

The article is devoted to the problems of implementation into the domestic law of the provisions of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECPHRFF) and Convention-based decisions of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). The author notes that the complexity of the ECPHRFF provisions’ implementation process is caused by the lack of efficient legal remedies at the national level. Among the reasons for failure to execute or for the delay in execution of the ECPHRFF requirements and ECHR decisions, there are lack of coordination of actions between different government agencies and differences in approaches to ECPHRFF interpretation, political contradictions. The article justifies an important role of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation in improving the Russian legislation and lawenforcement by means of implementation of the ECPHRFF provisions and ECHR case law. The author underlines that the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation activity is aimed at resolving two tasks: harmonization of the Russian legal system with the European legal framework and protection of own constitutional identity. The author considers the problem of “judicial activism” in the ECHR activity, that is aimed at extended interpretation of the ECPHRFF articles. The author pays special attention to the issue of application by the ECHR of the European consensus methodology which it used to determine the discretion of states in safeguarding conventional rights. At the same time the author points to the inconsistency of this concept in regard to the ECPHRFF basic principles. The author justifies the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation position, in accordance with which ECPHRFF and the ECPHRFF-based decisions of ECHR do not override the priority of the Russian Constitution for national constitutional courts and the Russian legal system in those cases when the Russian Constitution is capable to ensure better protection of human and civil rights and freedoms. The author draws the conclusion that cooperation of the European and Russian legal orders is not possible in the context of subordination; it is necessary to establish a dialogue between the legal systems which is a guarantee of the all-European law development.

Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation, after the amendments introduced by the Federal Law of 03.07.2016 No. 322, provides for such an unfavorable consequence for a person who has entered into a pre-trial cooperation agreement in the event that he fails to fulfill its conditions, such as cancellation or amendment of a court decision on appeal. This consequence, along with the possibility of termination of the agreement, trial of the case in the usual manner, review of the court decision regarding the imposed punishment, is considered as the procedural responsibility of the said person. At the same time, the issue of the obligation of the person who entered into the pre-trial cooperation agreement to give truthful testimony regarding the accomplices of the crime, as well as his procedural status during the interrogation of the main case while fulfilling the conditions of the pre-trial cooperation agreement, remains debatable. The position of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation expressed in Resolution No. 17-P of 20.07.2016, as well as the position of the European Court of Human Rights of 04.12.2014 in the case of Alexander Valeryevich Kazakov v.

Cruel and inhumane acts that harm human life and health, as well as humiliate the dignity, are prohibited in most countries of the world, and Russia is no exception in this issue. The article presents an analysis of the institution of responsibility for torture in the Russian Federation. The author comes to the conclusion that the current criminal law of Russia superficially and fragmentally regulates liability for torture, in connection with which the author formulated the proposals to define such act as an independent crime. In the frame of modern globalization, the world community pays special attention to the protection of human rights, in connection with which large-scale international standards have been created a long time ago. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international acts enshrine prohibitions of cruel and inhumane acts that harm human life and health, as well as degrade the dignity.Considering the historical experience of the past, these standards focus on the prohibition of any kind of torture, regardless of the purpose of their implementation.

The paper focuses on the definition of the legal status of the cryptocurrency in the framework of the current Russian legislation. The subject of the research is the principal scientific and practical approaches to determining the object of civil rights and the object of acquisitive crimes in terms of their adaptability to cryptocurrencies. The purposes of the work were the search for a universal algorithm for resolving civil disputes related to the turnover of the crypto currency, and the qualification of the virtual currency theft (fraud). By using historical, comparative legal and dialectical methods as well as the content analysis method parallels between cryptocurrencies and individual objects of civil rights (a thing, property rights, other property) were drawn, and a number of options for qualifying the actions related to the non-repayable withdrawal of the cryptocurrency were proposed. Finally, the paper analyzes the draft laws prepared by the RF Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of the Russian Federation and presents the author’s vision of the prospects for legalizing the cryptocurrency as an object of civil rights.
