In the Russian Federation a legal and regulatory framework for the regulation of digital rights is actively forming, but the criminal law means, which are important for the prevention of cryptocrime, need to be adjusted, because in light of the emerging trend of commercialization and informatization of crime, primarily – transnational organized crime – the areas of criminal use of digital currency are constantly expanding. The article provides analytical data of companies conducting research in the field of cryptocurrency and blockchain, analyzes the areas of criminal use of cryptocurrency, provides an overview of existing criminal law means of combating these crimes, considers the problems of criminal liability for such crimes related to cryptocurrency as legalization (laundering) of money or other property acquired by a person as a result of his crime or acquired by other persons by criminal means; stealing and expropriation of funds or other property.

Provisions on liability for contempt of court have undergone a long evolutionary period, in the course of which the need for the existence of special legal consequences arising in connection with insulting behavior towards judges and other participants of judicial proceedings was stated. In fact, their development accompanied the formation of judicial power in Russia. Exercising justice is an important way to resolve conflicts, as a consequence of which the current legislation establishes a special procedure for participation in court proceedings. This procedure is based on respect for the attributes of judicial power. Insulting the participants of judicial proceedings grossly contradicts the generally accepted norms of behavior in society, attacks the authority of the court, as well as the persons endowed with the status of a judge. As an intentional crime, contempt of court is accompanied by humiliation of honor and dignity of judges and other participants of court proceedings. At the same time, it has a relative prevalence, excluding both the need for decriminalization and absorption by other provisions of the law protecting the honor and dignity of the individual.","PeriodicalId":433311,"journal":{"name":"Prologue: Law Journal","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126186390","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}

The author of the article remarks that preemptive right is included in the system of legal advantages because it represents the opportunity to receive benefits that is legally fixed by the state. The author, taking a doctrinal system of legal advantages as an example, compares it with the elements that build this system. The author analyses the comparison of preemptive right with the privilege, the benefit, the immunity and the special legal procedure. The article emphasizes that the first three kinds of legal advantages serve as exemptions to this rule. Preemptive right and the special legal procedure, in their turns, are not exemptions from the rule. Rather they represent special rules that serve as addition to the main ones. Besides, the author expresses disagreement with the point of view that denies the autonomy of preemptive rule. According to this point, preemptive right is viewed as another kind of special legal procedure. The author emphasizes the qualities that are intrinsic to preemptive right and that allow to differentiate it from the special legal procedure and from its subtype – the special order. The article by purpose mentions numerous examples from the existing legislation.

Verification provides (inter alia) information certainty of commodity circulation participants, allowing minimizing the risks of non-performance or improper performance of future obligations. It is proposed, applying the law analogy, to provide a regulatory rule giving the party to the preliminary contract an opportunity to refuse to perform the contract in case of establishing (by the results of the control) that the obligation to conclude the main contract will not be performed by the counterparty within the time-frame. It seems that this rule will have a regulatory function, encouraging the parties to the preliminary contract to organize proper control so that, on the one hand, to ensure the proper exchange of information, on the other hand – to prevent unwarranted interference in the economic activities of the counterparty. In this case, the unreasonable refusal of a party to a preliminary contract to provide the counterparty with an opportunity to exercise control (to provide the necessary information, property for inspection) should be regarded as a lack of interest or even intentional obstruction of the preliminary contract purpose achievement. The recognition of such dishonest behavior of a person as evasion from entering into a basic civil-law relation allows us to talk about the possibility of application of operative measures of influence by a competent subject.","PeriodicalId":433311,"journal":{"name":"Prologue: Law Journal","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127095735","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}

The model includes five system characteristics of cybervictimization, the comprehensive study of which to a maximum extent will simplify the understanding of the essence of the object of study. These characteristics include: profiling, conditionality, prevalence, predictability and epidemicity. Each of these aspects is explained in detail: the author developed a detailed nomenclature of cybervictimization forms. The problems of identifying its extent, as well as the determinant role of gender, age, behavioral and personal factors are discussed in the article, and a list of key cybervictimization acts is formulated. This meta-analysis includes thirteen global categories and about seventy of its accent forms. Among the global categories the following ones are identified: threats, harassment, illegal interest, infringement, insult, spoofing, disclosure, compulsion, seizure, infecting, access and use.

The importance of cases concerning the return of a child or the exercise of access rights in respect of a child necessitates theoretical development not only of the procedural institutions, which norms regulate the examination of this category of cases by the courts, but also an analysis of the substantive aspects of disputes concerning the return of a child or the exercise of access rights in respect of a child on the basis of the 1980 Convention. According to the author, the relationship between substantive and procedural law is reflected in the principle of the best interests of the child, the subject of judicial protection, the specifics of the protection means and the subject of proof, as well as the specifics of the composition and procedural position of the persons involved in the trial of the category under study. Particular attention is paid to the tasks and powers of the central authorities established to ensure the unhindered and effective application of the 1980 Convention. It is proposed to transfer the powers of the central body in this sphere from the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation to the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation. The development of the institution of mediation, including the active promotion of the expansion of mediation cooperation within the framework of interstate contacts aimed at resolving cases of the category under consideration, seems promising.","PeriodicalId":433311,"journal":{"name":"Prologue: Law Journal","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116762435","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}
