The aim: The purpose of this article is to analyze the state policy of several states in creating an effective mechanism in which persons entering into marriage will be able to obtain the necessary information about the state of each other’s health and thereby make an informed decision about registering a marriage, protecting the health of each other and future offspring. Materials and methods: In the course of the study, a comparative analysis of the legal means used by some states in the field of biological protection of marriage was carried out. First of all, a study was carried out of the family legislation of states with different approaches to the system of premarital medical examination of persons entering into marriage. In addition, the scientific works of scientists from different countries were used, the object of study of which was the problems associated with the biological protection of marriage. The work also used the results of surveys that were conducted in some countries and highlighted in published scientific works. Conclusions: Health information is essential when deciding whether to marry. Hiding such information can seriously harm the partner’s health and children born in such a union. The task of the state is to find a middle ground, in which the balance of interests of the person, whose medical examination revealed health problems (the right to medical secrecy), on the one hand, and the person with whom it is planned to register a marriage (the right to health protection; the right on the voluntariness of marriage).At the same time, the emphasis in state policy on the biological protection of the family should be placed on preventive measures, including non-legal means of information.

At all stages of the existence of the state, one of its main tasks is the care and protection of the health of the people and the preservation of its gene pool. The solution to this problem is impossible without the direct par-ticipation of the state in creating a full-fledged and healthy family, as well as taking direct measures to prevent the birth of children with congenital dis-eases and diseases transmitted by inheritance, which is expressed in the legal regulation of medical examination of persons entering into marriage. We analyze the legislation of foreign countries. We state two approaches to regulating this issue, where some states adhere to the position that premarital medical examination is a right, not an obligation, while others hold the exact opposite opinion. We establish contradictions between the norms of family law and the norms of the family code with the norms of federal regulations. We identify the reasons for the lack of a mechanism for exercising the right to free medical examination of persons entering into marriage. Taking into account foreign legislation and on the basis of the identified problems of the implementation and protection of the right to free medical examination of persons entering into marriage, we propose amendments and additions to the Family Code of the Russian Federation.

The paper describes some peculiarities in evolution of the State family politics and policies in Russia since the beginning of the XX century to present time. The aim of the paper is to shed light on the family state policy in Russia during the different periods of time. We define here the family state policy widely enough as the various state activity (ideological, legislative, economic, social) concerning institute of family. The analysis of the state measures concerning the family in different social and political contexts allowed us to allocate the five main stages and models of the family state policy in Russia. They are: the post-revolutionary model (1917-1926), the «Stalin» model (1927-1953), the "welfare" Soviet model (1954-1991), the yearly post- Soviet model (1991-2005), the modern model (since 2006). The paper is based on the some demographic and sociological surveys data and devoted to an analysis of the family changes in these various periods. On the one hand, the family policies were a reaction to new social requirements and demographic changes (decline of fertility, for example). On the other hand, the state activity concerning a family itself caused transitions in the family institute. We show how various measures of soviet and post-soviet family policies and public interventions in family life have influenced on the family relations.

The author studied the formation and development of the doctrine of heirless (vacant) succession in Ukraine. It has been determined that the probate law in Ukraine, as well as other legal phenomena, has followed its evolution, development and enrichment upon various historical stages of Ukrainian people and was closely tied with the existence or absence of Ukrainian statehood. The modern standards in this particular field of legal relations have been gradually established. The Kyiv State did not have the institution of heirless property because household assets of the ancient Ruthenian family were in collective property of the whole family and not in the property of an individual father-householder. That is why it was not succession but a mere redistribution of household assets remaining in joint possession within the family. The term «heirless property» was first specified in Lithuanian-Ruthenian state in Lithuanian Statutes (1566): if there were no heirs-at-law and by will, the property was acknowledged as heirless and devolved upon the state. For the legal system of Hetmanship era the primary source was the ancestral character of succession and devolution of the inheritable property to a public entity was an exception. Moreover, in Ukrainian legal tradition, the visible is the competition between acknowledging a vacant succession as an heirless property and extension of the institution of succession upon these relations. In Ukrainian SSR heirless succession devolved upon state. Modern civil law of Ukraine lacks the concept of heirless property (succession). The new Civil Code of Ukraine (2003) introduces the concept of «heirless succession» (Art. 1277). Ukrainian law applies European and international norms and standards. Along with this, the process must comply with the legal mentality of the Ukrainian people, with values and authenticity of its legal culture. Having adopted the Civil Code, Ukraine made and important step to the integration into the continental legal system, and the probate law acquired a new concept of heirless succession, when: firstly, available succession may be declared in judicial proceeding as heirless, and after that it devolves upon territorial community where it was commenced; secondly, the state is excluded both from the circle of heirs-at-law and from the circle of the entities-heirs of the succession acknowledged as heirless. The author specifies that the Ukrainian legislators did not take into account the Euroean experience during codification of the civil legislation, hence there are a number of issues that must be dealt with, so that Ukrainian legal system could completely meet the international standards. In EU countries the holder of the right for the heirless property is the state, in Ukraine it is a territorial community which outweighs the efficiency of the function of non-subjectivity elimination what heirlessness is intended for. Since a territorial community does not and cannot own so much civil capacity as the state. The author reveals some drawbacks in legal regulation of the issue and develops proposals to improve the probate law in Ukraine. Key words: succession, heirlessness, heirless property, legator, legatee, territorial community.

The existing legislation determines the education as "an integral and focused process of teaching and upbringing, which represents a socially important value and shall be implemented so as to meet the interests of the individual, the family, the society and the state". However, even in this part, the meaning of the notion ‘socially significant benefit is not specified and allows for a wide range of interpretation [2]. Yet the more inconcrete is the answer to the question – "who and how should determine the interests of the individual, the family and even the state?" The national doctrine of education in the Russian Federation, which determined the goals of teaching and upbringing, the ways to attain them by means of the state policy regulating the field of education, the target achievements of the development of the educational system for the period up to 2025, approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 4, 2000 #751, was abrogated by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of March 29, 2014 #245 [7]. The new doctrine has not been developed so far. The RAE Academician A.B. Khutorsky believes that the absence of the national doctrine of education presents a threat to national security and a violation of the right of citizens to quality education. Accordingly, the teacher has to solve the problem of achieving the harmony of interests of the individual, the family, the society and the government on their own, which, however, judging by the officially published results, is the task that exceeds the abilities of the participants of the educational process.  The particular concern about the results of the patriotic upbringing served as a basis for the legislative initiative of the RF President V. V. Putin, who introduced the project of an amendment to the Law of RF "About Education of the Russian Federation" to the State Duma in 2020, regarding the quality of patriotic upbringing [3]. Patriotism, considered by the President of RF V. V. Putin as the only possible idea to unite the nation is "THE FEELING OF LOVE OF THE MOTHERLAND" and the readiness for every sacrifice and heroic deed for the sake of the interests of your Motherland. However, the practicing educators experience shortfalls in efficient methodologies of patriotic upbringing, which should let them bring up citizens, loving their Motherland more than themselves. The article is dedicated to solution to this problem based on the Value-sense paradigm of upbringing educational dynasty of the Kurbatovs [15].

Abstract The Centre for the Homeless in Chișinău embodies on a small scale the recent evolution of state policies towards the homeless in Moldova (a post-Soviet state). This institution applies the binary approach of the state, namely the ‘left hand’ and the ‘right hand’, towards marginalised people. On the one hand, the institution provides accommodation, food, and primary social, legal assistance and medical care. On the other hand, the Shelter personnel impose a series of disciplinary constraints over the users. The Shelter also operates a differentiation of the users according to two categories: the ‘recoverable’ and those deemed ‘irrecoverable’ (persons with severe disabilities, people with addictions). The personnel representing the ‘left hand’ (or ‘soft-line’) regularly negotiate with the employees representing the ‘right hand’ (‘hard-line’) of the institution to promote a milder and a more humanistic approach towards the users. This article relies on multi-method research including descriptive statistical analysis with biographical records of 810 subjects, a thematic analysis of in-depth interviews with homeless people (N = 65), people at risk of homelessness (N = 5), professionals (N = 20) and one ethnography of the Shelter.

This article argues that Israel substituted the Palestinian refugees' internationally recognized right of return with a family reunification program during its maneuvering over admission at the United Nations following the creation of the state in May 1948. Israel was granted UN membership in 1949 on the understanding that it would have to comply with legal international requirements to ensure the return of a substantial number of the 750,000 Palestinians dispossessed in the process of establishing the Zionist state, as well as citizenship there as a successor state. However, once the coveted UN membership had been obtained, and armistice agreements signed with neighboring countries, Israel parlayed this commitment into the much vaguer family reunification program, which it proceeded to apply with Kafkaesque absurdity over the next fifty years. As a result, Palestinians made refugees first in 1948, and later in 1967, continue to be deprived of their legally recognized right to return to their homes and their homeland, and the family reunification program remains the unfulfilled promise of the early years of Israeli statehood.
