Capitalism and plutocracy
摘要
In this article the author analyzes the dialectical interdependence of capitalism and plutocracy. The definition of plutocracy is proposed. The author reveals two important and diametrically opposed trends in how various segments of the ruling elites in modern states define their values and, accordingly, what specific practical actions they take. Attention is focused on the fact that the pro-Western, which is very active in our country, consists not only of liberal-minded people of creative professions, but also individual representatives of power structures. The author expresses strong support for a part of the domestic establishment and the associated patriotic intelligentsia that aim at a comprehensive revival of the power of Russia. At the same time, the author is sure that in order to achieve victory over the collective West the mobilization of all institutions of the state and society, understood in a broad sense, is necessary, which is impossible without abandoning the substantial political, economic, spiritual and moral foundations of the bourgeois system.

Protection of the rights and interests of the parties in recovery from the developer for the breach of the terms of transfer of the object of sharing construction to the shareholder
摘要
The article describes a variety of approaches to determining the amount of a penalty for violation of the terms of transfer of an object of shared construction that exist in practice. It is noted that the lack of uniformity in the methodology for calculating the size of such a penalty reduces legal certainty and, as a result, trust in the judicial system. It is proposed to adhere to a literal interpretation of the law when setting the date on which the size of the key rate of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation should be determined for calculating such penalties, namely, to proceed from the day of signing the act of acceptance and transfer of the shared construction object. The use of a different size of the discount rate often leads to infringement of the rights of equity holders, and the penalty ceases to be a tool to protect the weak party in the relationship of equity participation in construction. If the amount of the penalty with this method of calculation turns out to be clearly disproportionate to the consequences of the violation, to restore the balance of interests of the parties, you can use the mechanism for reducing the penalty on the basis of Art. 333 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, taking into account the peculiarities of each specific situation.

The use of image category in the process of proving in criminal cases (formulation of the problem and its solution on the example of investigator’s activity)
摘要
The author of the article substantiates the need to use the category of image in the process of proving in criminal cases. He argues that the creation of prerequisites for the digitalization and visualization of images, the development and implementation of “self-developing” programs of investigation and trial with the use of elements of artificial intelligence will depend on the depth of knowledge and taking into account the features of the content and form of images used in proving. Consequently, the qualitative increase in the efficiency of criminal proceedings depends on this. The researcher offers his own classification of images created and used by the investigator in the process of proving.

Civilizational approach to human rights: on the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
摘要
Documents and materials related to the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and related international documents 75 years ago show the close relationship between the processes taking place in the world and the state of human rights. Over the past decades, human rights have remained among the most acute problems of law and politics, and not only theoretical discussions were conducted around them, but a real ideological struggle unfolded. Disputes and contradictory assessments of the significance of the Universal Declaration and its impact on the further development of legal systems continue to this day. Tools and solutions that allow taking into account national interests while observing International human rights standards are being actively discussed. For example, with the help of a civilizational approach, an attempt is being made to solve the problem of fulfilling International human rights obligations while preserving the fundamental cultural, historical and religious differences of individual civilizations and regions. At the Institute of State and Law of the Russian Academy of Sciences, this approach was developed by a Corresponding Member of the RAS E.A. Lukasheva.

Criminal law protection of public relations in field of digital financial assets and digital currency
摘要
Differences in the definitions of digital financial assets, digital currency and cryptocurrencies cause difficulties not only for law enforcement officers, but also in the science of Criminal Law. The author’s research has shown that the term “cryptocurrency” is not included in the concept of digital currency, and moreover cryptocurrencies are not digital financial assets. Cryptocurrencies are defined by the author as a virtual asset that can be an object of financial activity and, together with digital rights and digital currency, all types of virtual assets are involved in monetary circulation, and, accordingly, the relations that develop in this area are subject to criminal protection as a type of financial activity. The author substantiates the conclusion that the list of objects protected by criminal law should include economic (financial) relations, part of which are legal relations in the sphere of turnover of virtual assets. The place of such legal relations in the section of crimes against the economy has been determined.

The real world as augmented metaverse (coming transformations of law)
摘要
This article deals with legal issues of metaverse – a new digital environment that uses virtual and augmented/extended reality technologies. With further developments, virtual worlds could become widely accessible in the foreseeable future and provide new opportunities in education, healthcare, economics and other areas of public and social life. Experts predict that the economy within metaverse will exceed the size of the real world economy fast. Along with positive, metaverse also has negative sides including increase of current risks associated with use of information and communication technologies and emergence of new ones dealing with security and privacy of users’ personal data and effective counteraction to cybercrimes. In this regard, the authors underscore the importance of legal regulation of metaverse and management of novel risks, also in the field of legal regulation concerning application of the underlying highly complex technologies. Principles and rules to regulate relations in metaverse should be developed the sooner the better and in prospect of further developments, because in the near future they could have a significant impact on the law of real world. The authors introduce the concepts of “observation” and “observer”, which formalize in legal context the idea of a legal view and discuss possible – depending on the position of the observer – approaches to the legal framework of metaverse governance, virtual law and its relationships with the real world law.

Universalism in Social Policy of the Scandinavian States
摘要
The article deals with the role of the principle of universalism as the “cornerstone” of the social policy of the Scandinavian states. It is emphasized that Scandinavian universalism is traditionally based on a higher level of social equality than the level that is present within other social welfare systems aimed at a selective approach and social stratification. The Scandinavian social welfare model has recently been facing a number of problems related to globalization, increased competition on the labor market, demographic changes and an expanding influx of migrants. In the current situation, this model is becoming more economical and market-oriented, and existing social programs are being adjusted by reducing their excessive generosity. There is a growing understanding of the need to expand the principle of universalism and introduce much greater differentiation into social policy, taking into account the real needs of individual segments of the population.

Regulation of trade and supply by the government of general Denikin during the Russian Civil War
摘要
The article examines the little-studied problem of state regulation of trade and supply in the territory of the South of Russia in historical and legal science. It is revealed that until the summer of 1919, the Denikin government regulated the commodity distribution sphere based on pre-revolutionary legislation on the grain monopoly and the distribution of grain and fodder in the provinces. In the summer, the legislator abolished the grain monopoly, but introduced compulsory military service for the supply of food and fodder to the army. It is established that the government's hopes for the procurement of agricultural products through cooperatives did not justify themselves due to unsuccessful administration to establish low and unprofitable purchase prices for peasants at a high cost of the industrial goods they need, as well as due to delays in payment for the deliveries made and unsatisfactory organization of commercial transportation. It is revealed that the involvement of large private traders and firms in the supply of grain and fodder after the abolition of the grain monopoly led to the corruption of the state apparatus, rampant speculation and the formation of a black market, which the government failed to cope with, despite the adoption of a rather harsh law on speculation. It is stated that the legislative and administrative activities of the government in the field of trade and supply were not able to provide the army with food, fodder and equipment. Because of which the commanders of the units were forced, in violation of the law, to engage in self-sufficiency of their troops by conducting requisitions that caused outrage among peasants or exchanging captured trophies for food.

“Soft power” and its prospects in the context of the crisis of the state as a form and mode of human existence
摘要
The article is devoted to the concept of “soft power”, its forms and content. The term “soft power” was introduced relatively recently, but in its practical implementation it has a centuries-old history. In a certain sense, the word “soft power” has been meaningfully used since the times of the states of Ancient Rome and Ancient Iran. The article notes the ambiguity of the “soft power” policy, since its form can vary according to the interests of the state, as well as its socio-political structure. Thus, the use of «soft power» to the Soviet Unions was qualitatively different from the “soft power” used by states with a capitalist way of life. It is important to see the difference between “soft power” and economic expansion, especially since the border between them can be very conditional.An important idea of the presented article is that in the conditions of the crisis of the state as a form and way of being of a person, the influence of transnational companies is significantly increasing, which, in fact, squeeze out the state and seek to replace it with themselves. At the same time, the nature and essence of transnational corporations is very different from the nature and essence of the state, therefore, there is a process of transformation of “soft power”, filling it with new meanings and motives. If for states in their classical understanding, culture with its traditions, spiritual categories, and universal values could become the semantic content of the “soft power” policy, then for transnational corporations, the economic motive usually forms the basis of the policy. This kind of motive will easily result in the exploitation of some people by other people and the loss by society of such traits that define it as human. Thus, in the form in which the concept of “soft power” was relevant at the end of the twentieth century, it now looks like a vestige of a bygone historical era. Nevertheless, the degree of development of information technologies, the level of their accessibility can become a new content of «soft power» in the foreign policy of states.
