Purpose: The paper analyses the current state of environmental legislation, identifying its current trends and debatable provisions. In addition to the above, it is common knowledge that a coherent system of environmental legal provisions the goal of the research has been achieved through the use of general scientific and specific scientific research methods, comprehensive, complete and objective analysis of statistical data, as well as provisions of domestic and foreign legislation, as well as the existing law enforcement practice. Findings: Since the natural resource potential of the Russian Federation is the basis of its socio-economic well-being, exploitation of natural resources will prevail over sustainable development goals for a rather long time. We arrive at conclusion that many regulatory legal acts in this field are adopted in violation of public opinion, almost covertly. This has been true for recent years, when there has been an increased anthropogenic impact on nature. The extensive use of market levers with regard to the use of natural resources cultivates the ideology of monetarism prevailing over the interests of society. Site development of water conservation zones, shared areas in cities and towns, commercialization of forestry relations, mitigation of the regime of maintenance of specially protected natural areas etc. does not reflect the interests of the majority of society; moreover, it is not a raison d’etat as well. Originality/value: The balance between the interests of the State, business and society has not yet been achieved in the field of protection environment. In this regard, the authors justify the need for a balanced approach to the use of natural resources, which are not a strategic reserve, but serve as a factor in ensuring public needs for natural values and creating a comfortable living environment for Russians.KeywordsEnvironmentAnthropogenic impactEnvironmental legislationNatural resourcesNatural managementSustainable developmentExploitationSocialityPublic interestsJEL ClassificationK2K32K38L7

The article is devoted to a rather important area of relations between the Russian Empire and the Kingdom of Poland over a rather long period-the end of the 18th-the beginning of the 19th centuries, filled with fateful events that determined the negative context of these relations for the next centuries. The authors set the goal of creating a scientific model of such a variant of historical development, in which the reality of the possible influence of Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovich Romanov on changing the vector of coexistence between Russia and Poland is hypothetically assessed. The main milestones in the life and character traits of this historical figure are analyzed in the context of possible alternatives to his activities before and during his 15-year stay in Poland. Despite the underestimation and even denial of the role of the individual in history by some experts, the qualities inherent in rulers who make fateful decisions that determine the fate of their subjects are of considerable importance. This is clearly seen in the example of the fate and activities of the hero of the article. The author's vision of the person of Tsesarevich Konstantin Pavlovich as a bright and popular personality (it was not for nothing that several False Konstantins appeared after his death) shows that historical science underestimated the power of influence of his character traits on the fate of the Polish state. To substantiate the assumption, the methods of source study, historical and logical analysis and synthesis are used, which made it possible to consider the relationship between the Poland he ruled and the Russian Empire from the point of view of the individual qualities of the governor. The source base includes both classical studies of this issue (S. M. Solovyov), memoirs and memoirs, as well as modern research (Stegniy P. V. and others). The methods of historical retrospection, chronological and problem-analytical approaches make it possible to model the likelihood of an alternative history: smoothing out the contradictions between the two Slavic countries and returning independence to Poland.

n recent years, Artificial Intelligence has become a constantly evolving topic that attracts scientists and significantly influences the development of many subfields in different sciences. As a new and emerging subject, AI influences and intersects almost every field, from the natural, social, legal sciences to the humanities. From the point of view of social and legal scientists, artificial intelligence as a new field was initially seen only as tools such as machines, computers, internet technologies for social scientists and lawyers. At the same time, it has attracted the attention of almost all social science disciplines in recent years. Therefore, it is not surprising that artificial intelligence has recently come to the fore in the field of law and has begun to be elaborated with its positive and negative effects. This study aims to draw attention to the key intersections in the fields of law and artificial intelligence.

The relevance of the article is due to the introduction of the Digital Economy program in city management, which should bring the life of Russians to a qualitatively new level by 2024. There are legal prerequisites for improving the quality of life in cities using IT technologies. Digitalization improves the system of monitoring the state of the environment, makes it possible to ensure the sustainability of the ecosystem of individual municipalities and the city as a whole. An analysis of the existing system of environmental monitoring shows that it is not effective enough because it captures a large number of scattered indicators for various natural objects, but does not recreate a holistic picture of the state of the environment in a particular municipality. Software implementation of the municipal level geoportal can be carried out on the basis of the computing power and service equipment of the municipal formation or using SaaS-applications based on cloud technologies that provide the ability to use software products of the regional or federal level. As sensor technologies develop and spread, and their cost decreases, it becomes possible not only to connect each natural component to the observing system, but also to more effectively restore, create and transform urban natural objects. However, the shortage of IT specialists adapted to the biological field, the lack of biologists who are adept at computer technology, the insufficient training of people who have to work with new equipment, create obstacles to the introduction of digital technologies in the practice of creating a comfortable urban environment. The purpose of the article is to help overcome the traditional thinking of environmental specialists who prefer the usual means of visualization to modern methods of observation and evaluation, and to develop scientifically based and verified practice of new techniques and means for training specialists combining knowledge of IT technologies and knowledge of the biological cycle sciences. The leading research method is the formal legal method, which allows us to consider this problem as a process of deliberate and conscious mastery of environmental knowledge, skills and abilities by specialists to carry out information and legal actions in digital form, subject to environmental safety and within the framework of the law. The article presents the author’s solution of environmental problems on the basis of the implementation of an automated exchange between interested subjects: territorial bodies of federal executive bodies, local governments, property administrations. Theoretical principles and proposals have been developed to improve environmental legislation and environmental education, aimed at intensifying the training of IT specialists adapted to the biological field, biologists capable of working with computer programs and applications, i.e. people who have to service new equipment to introduce digital technologies into the practice of creating a comfortable urban environment.

The relevance of the problem under study is due to the need for digital transformation of management in Russia in the context of improving the legal regulation of countering dangerous infringements of information rights and the insufficient development of theoretical, substantive, technological and scientific-conceptual aspects of the formation of a legal concepts base for their applicability in legal constructions. The purpose of the article is to develop scientifically sound and verified practice of terminology in the field of research on countering dangerous attacks on children’s information rights and testing them for use in the course of improving Russian legislation and so on. The leading method for studying this problem is the formal legal method, which allows us to consider this problem as a process of deliberate and conscious mastering by children of knowledge, skills and abilities to carry out information and legal actions in the digital sphere only if their information security is fully ensured. The article presents the author’s concept of digital rights and children’s information interests; The scientific foundations of their implementation in the context of digital transformation of management in Russia are revealed. The developed theoretical provisions and proposals for improving the legislation are aimed at adapting minors to new conditions of governance in the information society and are focused on the development by the legal science and practice of scientific and methodological support for the legal regulation of counteraction to dangerous encroachments on children’s information rights.

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the issues of social capital and mutual aid networks become particularly relevant for the student volunteer in Russia, who independently and, at their own discretion, provides assistance, support and mutual aid. To people in need, as a vital incentive for self-realization. This research aimed to identify the motivating aspects of the need for self-realization of a student volunteer in practical activities to overcome COVID-19. The study method was the test, which allows to identify the characteristics of the content of the value aspects of the self-realization of the volunteer student, determined by the global context of crisis. By way of conclusion, the characteristics of the coronavirus pandemic are revealed as an extraordinary condition for the activity of a student volunteer. Based on the results of the study, a self-realization value model of a volunteer student is confirmed in the extraordinary conditions of the coronavirus pandemic. The practical importance of the model is demonstrated with the help of cognitive criteria typical of activity-based social psychology for the formation of value aspects of the self-realization of a volunteer student.

Purpose: A global understanding has now been reached that a mechanism for the long-term sustainable and secure development of financial technologies needs to be put in place to ensure their legal regulation. In the Russian Federation, this process is in its formative stage. The object of the research was public relations in the sphere of creation and use of financial technologies. The subject of the study was the normative material of a number of technologically developed foreign countries in order to identify positive experiences that can be implemented in the domestic practice of creation legal regulation and use of financial technologies. Design/methodology/approach: Based on the dialectical method of cognition of the surrounding reality, the research is based on a comparative analysis of the national peculiarities of the implementation of policies to regulate the basic social relations associated with the creation and use of financial technologies. Findings: It is noted that realizing the need to create a mechanism of legal regulation of new financial technologies the states have not fully developed a unified policy in addressing this issue. Originality/value: In the existing ambiguity of the selected models of legal regulation of financial technologies among foreign countries as well as on the basis of international experience positive trends have been identified on the basis of which recommendations for the improvement of domestic institutions for the regulation of financial technologies are proposed.

The relevance of issue under exploration is explained by the need for the legal regulation of the digital economy and the insufficient development of theoretical, substantive-technological and scientific-conceptual aspects of developing a base of legal concepts in terms of their application in legal arrangements. Purpose: The purpose of this article is to develop scientifically based and time-tested terms of digital economy in the context of a system-activity approach and their testing to establish a complex legal system that allows arranging a system of prohibitions on the processing of big data for mercenary and other sinister purposes and so on by restricting the access of various actors to these data. Materials and Methods: Formal-law method is a principal research method, which allows us to consider this issue as a process of deliberate and conscious acquisition of knowledge, skills, and abilities by specialists to make legal acts in the digital field only provided that the respect for rights and freedoms of man and citizen will be ensured. Findings: The article presents the author’s concept of the digital economy, reveals legal foundations for the development of relations in a virtual environment, and offers methods of developing these relations. As it seems to the authors, it’s not blockchain technology, but rather the Value Web, precisely its paradigm, which is a much more wide-scale phenomenon, will determine the development of these relations in the digital economy. Uniqueness/value: The developed theoretical principles and recommendations are aimed at adapting legislative and law-enforcement authorities to the new conditions of professional activity in the digital economy and are directed at developing a scientific and methodological framework of the legal regulation of the digital economy in legal science and practice.

The rail freight market will develop more successfully, considering the specifics of the application of transport and investment legislation. Railway infrastructure investment can rely on selected meso-level public-private partnership models. The authors propose to use the advantages of public-private partnership, its application, considering the regional specifics on the example of the rail freight transportation market as a meso-level institution. The proposed models of legal regulation of investments in transport projects can give a systemic economic and legal effect concerning spatially extended markets. Based on the well-established guidelines for the development of models of public-private partnerships in transport projects and the unification of legislation in the world market, the author proposes ways to improve Russian legislation concerning the development of the market for the transportation of goods by rail, based on the meso-economic approach.
