They are indiscriminate since they apply to large groups of individuals and legal entities on the basis of their nationality. They are aimed at infringing on the sovereign rights of the Russian state and changing its policy. For compensation of losses which Russian companies have suffered abroad the latter should be provided with the opportunity to demand that the assets of foreign companies from the relevant unfriendly jurisdictions should be transferred to the external management of the Russian companies. Russian investors are also entitled to seek protection under international investment treaties due to the fact that the expropriation of their property was carried out without legal grounds and without payment of prompt, effective and adequate compensation. The legal reality which exists in relations with unfriendly countries demonstrates the crisis of traditional dispute resolution mechanisms and the necessity for establishing new effective international instruments.","PeriodicalId":238867,"journal":{"name":"Courier of Kutafin Moscow State Law University (MSAL))","volume":" 110","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138995188","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}

At the same time, in jurisprudence and in the legal literature, natural compensation is often called the priority method of compensation for harm, caused to the environment. Nevertheless, there are doubts that the allocation of a priority method of compensation for harm, which will be presumed, is justified.Choosing from two methods of compensation for harm, the court must establish the objective possibility of restoring the environment, the need for prompt action, their effectiveness for restoring the environment, and the existence of a restoration project developed and approved in compliance with the requirements of current legislation. The imposition of environmental restoration is ineffective and should not be allowed by the courts, including through the use of penalty. In case of failure of remedial measures or refusal of the delinquent to carry them out, the option of monetary compensation for harm is always available, including offsetting the costs of natural compensation for harm. At the same time, the simultaneous use of two methods of compensation for harm is unacceptable.","PeriodicalId":238867,"journal":{"name":"Courier of Kutafin Moscow State Law University (MSAL))","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130201068","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}

It is noted that there are significant problematic aspects in the developing field. The increased difficult-to-calculate risk of losses of agricultural producers from adverse climatic conditions causes increased risks for the financial stability of insurance organizations engaged in agricultural insurance. The lack of state support in the implementation of insurance (reinsurance) of agricultural risks contributes to the inclusion of restrictive conditions by insurers in agricultural insurance agreements that minimize risks, overstatement of insurance tariffs, and refusals of insurance payment. The most effective is the existing system of agricultural insurance for large farms that have the ability to minimize and prevent losses, which makes it difficult to develop competitive principles in agricultural production, hinders the development of small and medium-sized agribusiness. This is also facilitated by legislative restrictions on preferential insurance of agricultural cooperation entities for which the law doesn’t provide for state support. The article substantiates the causal relationship between the imperfection of the system of state support for agricultural insurance and the problems of a civil nature in this area.

As features of the responsibility under consideration, its “overcompensation nature” is highlighted, as well as the possibility of bringing the offender to “double” responsibility in the form of payment of monetary compensation and compensation for harm in kind.

The author agrees with the researchers, who believe that through any legal norm, regardless of its sectoral affiliation, both private and public interests are realized. In this case, we are even talking about the fact that in itself the ordering of social relations by any legal norm is essential for society and does not allow chaos in relations. The civil law regulation itself contains a mechanism that ensures a balance of both various private and public interests. Confirmation of this to a greater or lesser extent can be found in almost any norm of civil law. Public law, like private law, ensures the implementation of both public and private interests. Entering into various public legal relations in many cases is aimed at satisfying the interests of individuals and is based on their will. Public and private legal blocks are characterized by many features. Raising the question of public and private legal blocks, must understand that the regimes (methods) for regulating social relations by them are more than important, since the establishment of a regime that does not correspond to the essence of certain relations can lead to the impossibility of realizing certain kinds of interests. Thus, the realization of interests (especially private ones) through civil legal relations is mainly possible in the regime of free will. In public branches of law, at least one of the parties does not have the freedom to decide whether to enter into a legal relationship. In addition, as a general rule, unlike private legal relations, public legal relations imply a certain control, which is necessary to ensure both public and private interests.","PeriodicalId":238867,"journal":{"name":"Courier of Kutafin Moscow State Law University (MSAL))","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131564931","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}
