Recommendations are made to pay closer attention to ambiguity of legislation in some regions of the Russian Federation. A conclusion is formulated on the positive experience that can become an example for other constituent entities of the Russian Federation in setting rules for the lawmaking process.

The significance of regulating people's personal data in the context of implementing each person's right to privacy of personal life and family life becomes especially crucial for the purposes of ensuring biogenetical safety of people in Russia. This requires raising the issue of implementing the right to privacy in the context of the biotechnological revolution. The special legal significance of this issue in the Russian Federation is connected with the passing of such laws as the Law "On personal data" and the Law "On state genome registration in the Russian Federation". This article analyzes the legal status of biometric personal data. We note the need for legal regulation of the protection of biometric information as confidential data. The results of this research are based on using the following methods: universal dialectical method of scientific cognition, as well as general scientific methods based on it (description, analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, comparison, analogy, generalization) and specific scientific methods (comparative law method, systematic structural method and formal law method).

Introduction. In the process of employees’ labor managemeint, it is possible that the employer uses formally legitimate powers to harm the employee, therefore the article is devoted to studying the problem of employer’s abuse of the right to manage labor. Purpose. Give a legal description of the employer’s abuse of the right to manage labor in the exercise of discretionary powers, determine the relationship between the category of abuse of the right and discrimination in labor relations, and determine the consequences of such abuse, if a gap is identified in the legal regulation of problematic relations between the employer and employees, propose a draft of norms supplementing the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, ensuring proper protection of the rights and legitimate interests of the employees. Methodology. In addition to general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, analogy), private scientific methods were also used, such as formally legal, systemic and comparative legal. Results. The right to labor management consists of normative permissible powers, with the help of which the operational management of labor is carried out. The exercise of formally legitimate powers with the aim of harming an employee is an abuse of the employer's right to manage labor, so the employer’s unlawful motive is a constituent element of abuse of the right. Actions, the result of which is a violation of the rights of workers, are not an abuse: they should be attributed to discriminatory actions, since the exercise of the right cannot entail a violation of another right. It is concluded that the current legislation does not provide a mechanism to protect employees from abuse by the employer. An analysis of the norms of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation shows that abuse of law is a form of unfair behavior, the principle of good faith is a general legal principle, and the existence in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation of norms providing for special consequences of unfair behavior of the parties to labor relations would help in solving the identified problem. A draft of norms supplementing the Labor Code of the Russian Federation designed to ensure adequate protection of the interests of employees from abuse of rights by the employer is proposed. Conclusion. Both in the doctrine and in practice, there is a confusion of the concepts of employee discrimination and abuse of law by the employer. From the point of view of the theory of law, it is necessary to distinguish between these categories, and the legislation should contain adequate mechanisms to protect employees from abuse of law by the employer.

The article discusses the constitutional category of «labour», the definition of which is not enshrined in legislative acts because it is considered to be a well-known category, which is not a special legal one and does not require any clarification. However, this approach creates difficulties for legal regulation, as it blurs the boundaries for the legislator and the executor. Lack of awareness of the concept of a regulated category can lead to a situation when the legislator, creating a new law or making amendments to an existing one, will subject to regulation the area that does not pertain to the relevant legal phenomenon, or vice versa - will ignore part of the content of the regulated category, which is certain to negatively affect the quality of legal regulation. Law enforcement practices similarly face difficulties in having only doctrinal understandings of statutory concepts, which creates inconsistency in decisions made by lawyers in course of their professional work. The 1993 Constitution of the Russian Federation enshrined the category of «labour» in a number of articles, but did not clarify the interpretation of its concept. The analysis of economic and legal views on labor allows us to conclude that, despite the status of a well-known category, which, it would seem, does not need an explanation, only the presence of clear criteria for recognizing an activity as labor, provides high-quality legal regulation, in particular, it allows not only to separate the types of activities that are not subject to legal regulation, but also to choose the right branch of law that regulates social relations in each particular case.

The purpose of this study is to conduct a selective analysis of the legislation of the Kingdom of Denmark that regulates public relations regarding medical secrecy in comparison with the legislation of the Russian Federation regulating similar relations. The relevance of the topic is determined by the need to study the specific features of the legal regulation of the social relations selected, as well as the possibility of extracting positive experience of legal regulation of the legal forms chosen – legal relations, legal forms, etc. The object of the study is the public relations that arise over the medical secrecy in the Kingdom of Denmark and in the Russian Federation. The subject of the study is the comparison of a legal institution of medical secrecy and a similar institution in the Russian Federation. The methodological basis of the research consists of general scientific methods of research – analysis and synthesis, systemstructural, formal-logical and analogies, as well as special methods – historical, comparative analysis, descriptive and other methods. The legal regulation of public relations regarding the medical secrecy of a citizen in the Kingdom of Denmark – in comparison with a similar category in the Russian Federation – has significant differences, which can be explained by the specific features of legal systems of both states belonging to different legal families. Despite the fact that in Denmark the legal regulation of relations regarding medical secrecy refers to the powers of bodies other than the legislature and the executive (competence of the Ministry of Health of the Kingdom of Denmark). It is characterized by perfect legal techniques and a wide and comprehensive coverage of regulated relations that are relevant and worthy to pay attention for the purpose of research and discussion. At the international level the Kingdom of Denmark, in fact, is not a party to international legal acts regulating social relations arising from medical secrecy (with the exception of several international legal acts). To a large extent, these issues are in the competence of national legislation.

The article defines the constitutional and legal status of deputies in relation to the system of the state and municipal positions. The Deputy’s mandate gives a Deputy the opportunity to act as a representative of the people, as well as a representative of the authorities. Accordingly, within the framework of constitutional and legal regulation, it is necessary to analyze and compare the term «position» with such terms as «post», «institution» and «deputy position». In the article, the author used formal-legal and comparative methods, which allowed revealing the differences in these terms, disadvantages in the constitutional legal regulation of the position of Deputy in the system of the state positions. As a consequence of the analysis, the author comes to the conclusion that the terms «deputy position», «post», «institution» are identical. Also the author identifies the differences in the terms such as « position of Deputy» and «deputy position». As a result of the election, the candidate gets the position of Deputy, which, in its turn, gives him the opportunity to be elected to the deputy position. At the same time it is not legislatively defined the place of a member of the Federation Council, Deputy of the State Duma, Deputy of the Supreme body of the Executive or Legislature of the Federation’s subject in the system of the public posts. It is necessary to reorganize the internal structure of the legislative authorities to exclude «superior positions» as much as possible, thereby guaranteeing the equality of deputies’ status. However, at the constituent entities, deputies should have the opportunity to influence on the formation of the Executive bodies of the subject of the Russian Federation.

The subject of this research is the practices of advanced legal regulation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation on the example of the sphere of corruption prevention. Examination of the regional legislative practices is of particular interest within the framework of implementation of the single state policy in the area of corruption prevention and development of anti-corruption legislation. The selected topic also reflects general interest for the assessment of advanced legal regulation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation as a whole at the current stage. The goal of this research is to develop proposals on improving anti-corruption regulation on the federal level based on the regional anti-corruption practices, using the formal-legal, systematic, and comparative methods. The conducted analysis allows assessing the regional lawmaking practices, as well as the legislation on corruption prevention. The regional practices are aimed at unification of anti-corruption regulation on the regional and municipal levels, as well as filling the gaps caused by imperfection of the federal legal regulation. The constituent entities of the Russian Federation use the right to advanced legal regulation conservatively, although they have such opportunity in for synchronization of legal regulation on the regional and federal levels. This substantiates the need for addressing these issues in the federal laws. The introduction of anti-corruption restrictions, mechanisms of compliance thereof, and liability for their violation (noncompliance) should be established by the federal laws. The author believes that the considered in the article regional practices deserve support and reflection in the federal laws.
