The article dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Vladimir Nikolaevich Kudryavtsev provides a brief analysis of his creative experience in Criminal Law, criminology and legal conflictology, reveals the theoretical and practical significance of the author’s works, which in many ways have become the theoretical basis for new areas of research in jurisprudence; the transformation of scientific ideas developed by the scientist into social practice is shown, in particular into criminal legislation, law enforcement and criminological measures to prevent crime, resolve conflicts by legal means.

The author, who worked for a long time with academician V.N. Kudryavtsev at the Institute of State and Law of the USSR Academy of Sciences, recalls him as a scientist whose works have not lost relevance at the present time, an organizer of science, under whose leadership fundamen-tal, including intersectoral, complex, studies have been prepared, recognized not only by not only in Russia, but also abroad, the head, during whose work the Institute took a leading place in the study of actual state-legal problems of our time, a person with multifaceted interests.

The article shows the influence of Kantian philosophy on jurisprudence. From the position of neo-Kantianism, law and the state are not objective “things in themselves”, but transcendental logical constructions of the cognizing subject. Law is twofold: as a subject of logic and as a social phenomenon included in social relations as their regulator. In the concept of law, rational and irrational elements are distinguished. According to neo-Kantian methodology, the state can be the subject of research both nomothetic (the state is a recurring fact) and idiographic (the state is a unique phenomenon) sciences. It is shown that in the Russian Philosophy of Law of the 19th - early 20th centuries of the neo-Kantian orientation, special attention was paid to the problems of finding a social ideal, the connectedness of the state by law, the theme of a legal state, the basis of which is a self-sufficient person. The ethical and legal basis of the neo-Kantian Philosophy of Law in Russia was Kant’s idea of individual freedom, its autonomy, of the external protection of all members of society by the state with the help of the rule of law and non-interference in the inner world of a person. In the late 19th - early 20th centuries, Kant’s philosophy was extrapolated to the conditions of the historical reality of that period in the form of requirements for the legal provision of individual rights and freedoms in a legal state.

The article is devoted to the actualization and substantiation of the dual nature of legal regulation. The methodological basis of the study is a pluralistic approach to law and dualistic dialectics. In the aspect of the conflict nature of social development as one of the determinants of the social nature of law, the author states the methodological significance of conflictological legal understanding for the actualization of the dualistic nature of legal regulation in the unity of its regulatory and protective principles. The author proceeds from the hypothesis that legal regulation has as its subject the ordering and protection of social relations in the order of establishing regulatory and protective norms, which corresponds to the essence of law. The indicated dualism of the subject of legal regulation is used for its dual characterization at the level of positive and negative aspects, expressing the correlation of the dichotomy of the regulatory and protective functions of law with the dichotomy of positive and negative types of social relations. The argumentation of the positive and negative principles of legal regulation is based on institutional and legal means.

With the inevitability of further expansion, improvement and systematization of the mechanism of legal regulation of relations developing in the digital environment, the accuracy of legal and doctrinal terminology, its compliance with the already established system of conceptual and categorical apparatus, subject area and trends of legal regulation remains a significant task. The conflict of doctrinal approaches in the issue of terminological designation of such a phenomenon as the intensifying regulation of digital phenomena is incompatible with the dogmatism of law, requires more certainty, but for this it is necessary to resolve, according to the authors of the article, the main question: which of the terms most accurately corresponds to the nature of the emerging system of norms – “digital law” or “digitalization of law”?

The article is devoted to the novelties of the federal legislation on indigenous peoples. It gives a general description of this legislation, shows the directions of strategic planning of its development, as well as analyzes changes in this legislation related to the introduction of registration of persons from among indigenous small peoples, fixing the standard of responsibility of residents of the Arctic zone in relations with these peoples, establishing the procedure for compensating them for losses, ensuring their rights to use land and traditional hunting and the definition of places of traditional residence and traditional economic activity of indigenous peoples.

The global processes taking place in the international political arena are more likely to correspond to the state of a silent confrontational and information war, forcing Russia to defend itself more actively, reflecting more and more blows from potential and established opponents. Ensuring State security is an integral and one of the most important functions of the state, it has as its task the prevention and suppression of actions that violate peace and order. It is this topic that is closely interrelated with the processes of preventing and countering crime, since the success of countering crime and, accordingly, ensuring national security depends on the effective functioning of the relevant processes. Taking into account the above factors priority task of the state is to ensure both its own security and the security of its citizens. The article examines individual elements of crimes that infringe on national security, which allows us to assess the scale and depth of the chosen topic. The authors have made proposals that should contribute to strengthening the rule of law while ensuring national security.

Technological progress and law development until recently were different facets of one common process of mankind progressive advancement towards asserting greater independence from the natural elements and expanding the scope of human freedom. At the same time, law, on the one hand, was the most important incentive for the development of the creative potential of mankind as a source of scientific and technical innovations, and on the other hand, it was an effective way to correct deformations within the system of techno-humanitarian balance, guaranteeing against the most dangerous manifestations of technological power. However, with the advent of the 21st century convergent NBIC-technologies, the law increasingly demonstrates its inability to reduce the technological development risks to an acceptable level. The novelty of the situation is that social risks come to the fore. This trend is most clearly manifested in the field of legal regulation of the processes of creating and applying technologies for editing the human genome. A whole series of breakthroughs in the field of studying the human genome, carried out in recent decades, has opened up huge prospects not only for the development of medicine, but also for changing the natural qualities of a person, up to the possibility (so far theoretical) to control the mankind biological evolution. These new opportunities lead to entail proportionate social risks, connected primarily with the danger of an irreconcilable split of humanity into different socio-biological groups. In the current conditions law is not able to cope with the threat of humanity losing its biosocial unity. The hopes expressed in the public space for moral and religious factors to counteract the dangers of technological dehumanization, fraught with a surge of social injustice, seem to be greatly overestimated. There is even less reason to count on the so-called “moral bioimprovement” of mankind. In the current situation, apparently, there is no other way than a difficult creative search, focused on improving social, economic and political relations in line with an equitable legal approach. Successes along this path would provide the conditions under which the human community would be able to preserve the law vector of biotechnological development and, at the same time, avoid its catastrophic consequences.

The study is devoted to a comparative analysis of the concepts of “civil society”, “civil theology” in relation to the political morality of Blessed Augustine Aurelius with ancient teachings. The article attempts a hermeneutic analysis of the concept of civil society often used in the theory of state-legal doctrines. The differences are established between the pagan Roman understanding of justice and the proposed by Blessed Augustine, based on Holy Scripture as the basis of state-legal relations in ancient society: according to Augustine, the real reason why classical philosophy makes it impossible to raise virtuous people and leads to self-destruction is not because it is irreligious, but because it expresses itself in a wrong and wrong conception of a deity. And this is most evident in pagan polytheism. It is therefore clear that Augustine, in his attempt to define civil society, follows the classical tradition, emphasizing its essential agreement with Scripture. His main opposition to the ancient pagan philosophers concerns not so much their teaching about the natural ideals of civil society and the need for the existence of justice within it, but their inability to achieve a single just society.

The Russian Federation, within the framework of the experimental legal regime, has begun testing automated vehicles controlled by artificial intelligence systems in real conditions. Self-driving cars have become full-fledged road users in Moscow. In special legal regimes created for the operation of artificial intelligence systems, some federal laws and by-laws do not apply, which reduces the legal guarantees of human rights. The article considers the situation when this poses a threat to the right to life and human health. During operation of a source of increased danger, the developer and the user are based on the likelihood of harm to the third parties. Similar situations will occur with automated vehicles. This means that an unmanned vehicle will have to make decisions on whom to hit. The ethical and legal dilemma when artificial intelligence chooses a person, whom it will harm, is not resolved in the domestic law. There is no doubt that such issues should be reflected in the machine code of any information system. To do this, the actions of the creator of artificial intelligence systems should be regulated by law. The author proposes a classification of artificial intelligence systems, which will create three models of legal regulation: systems regulated by “soft” law, systems regulated by machine-readable law, systems on the use of which a temporary moratorium has been introduced. The implementation of these proposals will contribute to the protection of human life and health in the process of using artificial intelligence without a negative effect on the development of digital technology.

Technological progress in United States of America, the popularization of Internet makes necessary legislative regulation of the rules for circulation of digital rights and protection of digital information. The purpose of the study is: to form a conceptual understanding basics of legal regulation circulation digital rights and protection of digital information in United States. The study used general scientific and specific scientific methods, such as analysis, comparison, structural, systemic and functional approaches, etc. The basis of scientific study were methods of analysis, analytical and functional approaches, which, in turn, made it possible to identify most pressing nuances of legal regulation of protection and circulation digital rights. The study of legislation and judicial practice in the United States allowed us to formulate a conclusion that the level of legal regulation of the protection of the rights of digital data subjects corresponds to global trends in the development of law in general and public interests in particular. Moreover, regulatory legal acts adopted in the United States can be used in foreign countries to regulate the rules of turnover and protection of the rights of digital data subjects.

The article is devoted to a previously unexplored page in the history of domestic legal education - the training of legal personnel at the Academy of Social Sciences under the Central Committee of the CPSU. The key issues of the history of the organization of legal scientific and educational training at the law departments of the AON in 1946 - 1978 are highlighted: teaching staff, recruitment and composition of students, organization of the educational process and research work, defense of dissertations, etc.

The article deals with the problems of defining the category of “judicial-legal progress” at the present stage of development of law.

In the modern world, the conclusion of a contract is commonplace, but it is still important to prevent opportunistic behavior of market participants at the stage of post-contractual relations. From a financial point of view, it is important to prescribe such terms of the contract so that its violation will cost more for the party that does not comply with the clauses of the contract than further joint activities. However, in Islamic law there are a number of restrictions on the use of traditional tools to ensure compliance with the terms of the contract, which created the prerequisites for this study. The work is becoming even more relevant against the background of the introduction of a bill to the State Duma of the Russian Federation on partner financing activities, in fact, created for Islamic banking, as well as interest from the largest Russian banks. The purpose of this article is to identify tools to deter post-contractual opportunism in Islamic law.

Innovations in the field of computer technology and financial assets affect all spheres of life of society and the state, including its law enforcement and judicial bodies. New types of encroachments, which include crimes committed using virtual currency or in relation to it, which certainly have an increased public danger, often go unpunished due to the lack of regulatory regulation and uniform judicial practice. The greatest risks from the lack of effective criminal legal counteraction to these crimes are borne by society, since the absence of punishment, as the final stage of the mechanism for bringing to criminal responsibility for illegal violations, negates the efforts of law enforcement agencies faced with the impossibility of bringing to such responsibility the perpetrators. To overcome these contradictions and before the adoption of legislative measures, appropriate explanations of the Plenum Supreme Court of the Russian Federation are necessary, since the judiciary should not assume the powers of the legislature and form the directions of the criminal policy of the state.
