The negative impact of a low level of legal technique of the first Soviet laws on law enforcement resulted in the need to adopt additional departmental acts to implement them and the widespread use of socialist legal awareness in legal practice. The most multifaceted law enforcement role of the socialist legal consciousness was manifested in the activities of the people’s courts. The law enforcement role analysis made it possible to establish the mutual influence of Soviet laws and socialist legal consciousness. The Soviet law was an authoritative guide to the socialist legal consciousness, which, in turn, became the key to understanding the laws and their application by analogy in conditions of frequent changes in government policy.Using the example of the Soviet legal practice of 1917–1928, the authors conclude that the legal and technical inconsistency of laws leads to the emergence of new regulators and the erasure of the legal limits of discretionary powers of authorities. The authors substantiate that the Soviet government used the socialist legal consciousness to strengthen the mechanism of the Soviet state, to create in its structure a flexible tool for correcting rapidly outdating unsettled legislation.","PeriodicalId":158497,"journal":{"name":"Actual Problems of Russian Law","volume":"80 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140456302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the paper «somatic» refers to such technologies that relate to the genetic modification of the human body or its functional systems carried out in various ways. The authors attempt to analyze the main directions of transformation of social institutions of modern Russian society, taking into account advantages and disadvantages of the new technological revolution. Attention is drawn to the risks that biotechnologies pose to society and the state as a whole. The authors substantiate the necessity of participation of the state and various social groups in the development of an optimal strategy reflecting the interests of all stakeholders, based on transparency and trust. The paper indicates that it is necessary to determine the levels of permissible human exposure to various concomitant factors when using biotechnologies. This will require a normative rethinking of the entire concept of human and civil rights and freedoms enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation that includes the right to life, its values, the principles of the inalienable fundamental human rights and freedoms, their belonging to everyone from birth, the right to privacy, the right to personal and family secrets, dignity and good name.It is important at the regulatory level to consolidate the legal regime of genetic data about a person in the system of social values, prohibit discrimination based on genetic uniqueness, and develop requirements for medical organizations using somatic biotechnologies. The resolution of future problems involves a theoretical rethinking and normative regulation of new forms of work that will appear in the future, as well as new types of property. The ideas of motherhood and childhood, as well as families, will require new content, which will affect the most important values of society and demand active involvement of the state.","PeriodicalId":158497,"journal":{"name":"Actual Problems of Russian Law","volume":"41 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140456499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this regard, the paper raises the problem of «defect of the content» of the legislative act. The digital ruble is considered as a kind of a fiat currency. The author justifies that a legal means of payment can be represented by both cash and non-cash money. The author proves that the regime of the digital ruble as a legal means of payment represents a system of rules providing for the issuance by the Bank of Russia on behalf of the state of a means of payment in the form of a digital banknote accepted at face value on the territory of the Russian Federation to repay any monetary obligations, and servicing all transactions in the digital ruble.","PeriodicalId":158497,"journal":{"name":"Actual Problems of Russian Law","volume":"25 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139962295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the introduction of the Bologna rules, which Russian innovators interpreted exclusively in a subjective way, domestic education has not improved. On the contrary, all those positive characteristics that education possessed within the Russian borders began to gradually disappear, striving to blindly copy foreign variants. Many problems have appeared in education, mainly due to the departure from Russian cultural values and the attempt to replace them with foreign standards. As a result, educational levels have appeared, which, in theory, require an original educational approach. But such an approach requires saturation of the curriculum material of one level to the detriment of another, which is hardly feasible. It is emphasized that Russian traditions in education, their reanimation, including a return to specialist’s degree, are able to raise the educational level of Russia to the proper height again. The paper briefly comments on the efforts of Russian scientists, mainly professors of the Higher School of Economics, in the field of improving the educational process. The problem of the effectiveness of lecturing in conditions of simplified information acquisition is raised. As the main sketch from this area, the author gives a review of the work by Maria S.

The basis for assessing these views is an ontological approach to defining the meaning of existence as a philosophical category inextricably linked with momentary existence, presented as a facet of the projection of personal and social experience into the future. Reliance on the existential interpretation of the category of meaning in this approach helps to identify the philosophical content of civil proceedings, assess the role and significance of such a phenomenon as error for judicial enforcement in civil disputes. The essential features of this phenomenon are revealed, attention is drawn to the difference in the nature of a party’s mistake in a civil proceeding and a court’s mistake, the phenomena of civil law and criminal proceedings determined by existence are compared with an error as a phenomenon of civil proceedings. The approach to considering a court decision as a turning point in the transformation of objectively studied personal experience into confirmed public experience is substantiated.","PeriodicalId":158497,"journal":{"name":"Actual Problems of Russian Law","volume":"282 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140500816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
