Conclusions: The interpretation of the Russian Federation as a social state is analyzed in detail, an incomplete characteristic of the main features of the social state is revealed, an additional criterion based on the principle of social justice is proposed. The basic principles and requirements of the welfare state are substantiated. It is noted that the principles and requirements of the welfare state are expanded by the new Article 75.1 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, where the interpretation of the welfare state is given through two main criteria: the creation by the state of conditions ensuring a decent life and free human development. As one of the main criteria of the welfare state, the legal norms regulating social human rights and the role of the state in finding a balance between a person's social activity and his ability to satisfy his social needs are noted. The conclusion is formulated about the existence of a wide range of social rights, and their security is noted as a key indicator of the implementation of the principle of the welfare state and the resulting principles-requirements. Modern trends in improving legislation and law enforcement are mainly aimed at increasing the effectiveness of the protection of social human rights in their violation, where the main role is assigned to the judiciary. The authors noted that to date, there are no unified views in the science of constitutional law on the admissibility, limits and conditions of judicial protection of social rights. First of all, the resolution of this situation depends on the place of social rights in the human rights system, the normative content of each specific right, their legal nature, as well as the scope of the powers of judicial bodies to invade the sphere of activity of legislative and executive bodies of state power. The concept, legal nature, normative content of the constitutional principle of the social state and social rights are investigated; examples from the practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation on the protection of social rights are given. Attention is drawn to the integration application of the principle of the social state in unity with other principles of law (free development, decent life, equality (equality), justice (social justice), legal certainty, proportionality (proportionality of restrictions on rights and freedoms), balance of public and private interests, etc.).

Procedure and methods. Concrete-historical and historical-comparative methods were used in the study of the laws of the development of legislation in relation to the development of SMEs and the legal regulation of concessional lending in various historical periods, which allowed us to identify the main trends characteristic of the development of the SME support infrastructure within the framework of the topic under study. The paper considers the current and important problems of legal regulation of lending to SMEs in the prism of time. The author tries to solve an important task-to identify the features and stages of the formation of state policy in the field of small and medium-sized businesses. Results. As a result, the author draws conclusions about the results of the implementation of state policy in the field of small and medium-sized businesses. The chronological framework of the study covers the beginning of the XX century, the period of the New Economic Policy as the beginning of the organization of entrepreneurial activity in the young Soviet Republic, the middle of the XX century- the beginning of the XXI century. This period is the transition of our state to a market model of the economy, in connection with the adoption of the law «On Self-employment», which legalized entrepreneurial activity in the country, previously criminally prosecuted. The final stage of this period is the adoption of Federal Law No. 209-FZ dated July 24, 2007 «On the development of small and medium-sized businesses in the Russian Federation», which marked the beginning of a qualitatively new stage in the implementation of state policy in the field of small and medium-sized businesses in terms of financial support to small and medium-sized businesses.

The article analyzes the issue of choosing a strategy for the legal protection of an information system from the point of view of an intellectual property object. The purpose of the study is to determine the place of information systems in the system of intellectual activity results. The information system is considered through the concepts of legal protection of a complex object and a composite work. The preferred use of the legal regime of complex objects relative to information systems is proved, which in the conditions of current legislation requires an expansion of the list of complex objects. Taking into account the existing legal regulation, it is most promising to consider information systems from the perspective of databases and computer programs. It is concluded that the database of the information system can be considered exclusively as an object of related rights. Based on the analysis of patent practice, a conclusion is made about the difficulties of patenting an information system algorithm in terms of classification of the blockchain system as a result of intellectual activity: a method, a computer program or a database.

Objective. Cases of infringement of exclusive rights today take place not only within the state where protection is sought, but also on the territory of several states at the same time. This situation does not correlate with the basic substantive legal postulate on the territorial nature of exclusive rights. In addition, the duality of intellectual property objects can give rise to the problem of the overlapping of intellectual property rights. As a result, the courts have difficulty establishing the law applicable to the dispute on the protection of exclusive rights. The practice of law enforcement in this area is fragmented, which is due to a differentiated approach to the formulation of conflict rules and a fragmentary study of significant aspects. The foregoing makes the topic of this study relevant in modern conditions, in view of the trend of digitalization and the systematic overcoming of the territorial isolation of intellectual rights. Methodology of the research. Within the framework of this study in the field of intellectual property rights in Russia and foreign countries, such general scientific research methods as dialectical, logical and system methods were used. Conclusions. The author identifies problems, faced by the law enforcer, following the concept of territoriality of exclusive rights in the plane of human rights activities. The conditional nature of the expression «international protection of intellectual property» is substantiated. The most important issues of substantive law and conflict of law regulation in the field of protection of exclusive rights are analyzed. With reference to the practice of law enforcement, emphasis is placed on the points that require priority consideration by right holders in order to avoid further problems in case of violation of their rights in cross-border relations. The problem of the intersection of intellectual property rights and the need for its study are indicated. Based on the results of the analysis of the regulatory legal framework of Russia and foreign countries, the conclusion is made about the inevitable transformation of the concept of territoriality in today's conditions with bright trends of globalization and digitalization. Originality/value. This article is of practical importance for lawyers working in the field of intellectual property law, as it considers the issues of cross-border trade in intellectual property objects from the standpoint of resolving disputes with these objects, in addition, within the framework of this study, problems of legal regulation of certain issues of protection of objects of intellectual property.

The purpose of the research. The effect of the principle of protection of a weak subject in family legal relations is analyzed. The study was conducted by comparing the family legislation of the Republic of Chile and the Russian Federation. This choice is conditioned by the direct consolidation in the Chilean family legislation of the principle of protection of a weak spouse. Results. It is concluded that it is impossible to borrow institutions for the protection of a weak spouse into the legal system of Russia. Putting forward the hypothesis of a possible identification of the weak position of women in Russian family legal relations by gender, the author comes to its refutation. The author substantiates the identification of a psychophysiological sign of a weak subject of a private law relationship.

Purpose of the study. The article deals with the problems of legal regulation of the duties of lawyers in the field of combating the legalization (laundering) of proceeds from crime and the financing of terrorism. Conclusions. The authors note the inconsistency of the legislation in the field of regulating the duties of a lawyer to appoint special officials responsible for the implementation of internal control rules, and propose to allow bar associations to appoint such a person. The article raises the question of the relationship between the obligation of a lawyer to report to Rosfinmonitoring about certain transactions, transactions of principals with the requirements of attorney-client privilege. The authors draw attention to the contradiction of the legislation regarding the regulation of whether a lawyer who prepares, but does not make transactions on behalf of a client, is obliged to develop and implement internal control rules.

Regulation of control over the turnover of digital financial assets, other digital rights, and digital currency is becoming an urgent task that is being tried to solve at various levels. Most national jurisdictions build their regulatory framework by supporting the provisions developed, for example, by international organizations such as FATF. Nevertheless, in various countries such as Japan, Hong Kong, Italy, Finland, South Korea, there are their own solutions and reactions to the risks arising in the processes of turnover of digital assets. The authors set the goal of the proposed analytical review to determine, based on a comparative approach, what options there may be for the development of regulatory processes for the turnover of digital assets in different countries. An additional task (in addition to providing an overview of regulations and conducting a comparative analysis) was to study AML and KYC measures as practical tools for responding to risks in the field of laundering proceeds from crime. Conclusions about the possibilities of regulatory systems were based on consideration of a wide range of factors: from the traditions of the banking system of jurisdiction to a high assessment of the degree of public confidence in the intelligence services of the state.
