Within the framework of this article, an attempt has been made to study the protest activity of the population of the Russian Federation from the point of view of the existing institutionally, dimorphism of development, social and cultural contradictions. The article shows that the growth of protest activity is not directly related to the low standard of living of the population. On the contrary, high protest activity can be traced in those social strata, in those countries and states where the standard of living, quality of life, or the level of well-being of the population is relatively high, which allows protesting active citizens to openly and publicly express their position of disagreement with the policy of the state, with the actions of economic or other actors. Based on the generalization of materials and statistical data, the article proposes three patterns of protest behavior that have developed among Russian citizens: condemnation of the protest and its avoidance; solidarity with the protest; open support for the protest and active protest behavior. Each behavioral pattern is given its own sociocultural description, built into the established institutional context. It is shown that resistance to change can be directly associated with condemnation of protest, while the philosophy of economic and social freedom, globalization and open borders, technologization of life can be associated with solidarity with protest or its open and public expression. The results obtained can be used for further research in the field of institutional and sociocultural features of the protest behavior of Russian citizens.

The relevance of the work is determined by the importance of studying the protest activity of young people in modern Russian society. This topic is the object of research interest of sociologists, political scientists, jurists and representatives of other branches of science. Every time researchers face the problem of interpreting the concepts of “protest”, “youth protest activity” and experience some difficulties in choosing methods of analyzing this issue. The aim of the work is to define these key concepts, as well as to study various approaches and propose new approaches to the analysis of youth protest activity. The author believes that the analysis will help to identify and substantiate approaches to the analysis of the problem of protest activity of young people and attract the attention of the scientific community to the further development of this issue.

The purpose of the study is to identify new approaches to the implementation of the state youth policy. The article examines the issue of the implementation of youth policy after the adoption of Law No. 489-FZ “On Youth Policy in the Russian Federation”. Model. the author conducted an expert survey of government representatives who implement the state youth policy. The article presents the opinion of experts and the problems faced by government representatives when interacting with youth advisory structures. The conducted research helped to establish the lack of involvement of young people in the implementation of the state youth policy. Conclusions. The author suggests new approaches to the implementation of youth policy with the involvement of members of youth advisory bodies. Youth advisory bodies act as a political communicator between the State and youth. Therefore, it is necessary to involve these youth bodies in the implementation of state tasks. The results of the work can be applied by the authorities in the implementation of the state youth policy in Russia. Practical application. When implementing proposals for the implementation of youth policy in practice, it is possible to modernize the work of youth advisory bodies and the system of interaction of the state with them. Social consequences. The political activity of youth bodies, in terms of the implementation of the state youth policy, there is a social management of a special group of citizens aged 18 to 35 years. The political influence of youth bodies, forming a leading function in the system of social management, thereby serves as a factor in the implementation of this management.

Visual research has been gaining popularity in various social sciences in recent decades. Moreover, developments in sociology, political science and law related to the study of cultural aspects of society are interdisciplinary in nature. Jurisprudence is a fairly conservative scientific field in Russia, and the theories of the Soviet period continue to occupy dominant positions in legal science. Nevertheless, there are quite interesting approaches borrowed from other sciences of the socio-humanitarian profile. In this regard, the study of visual sources in jurisprudence seems to the author to be a promising direction, since, one way or another, legal concepts are represented in the visual. It is worth remembering any works of fine art (propaganda posters) or cinema (cinema), where you can see the reflection of certain political and legal ideas. The purpose of the article is to show the role and importance of visual sources of information in general, as well as in relation to the history of political and steam exercises. Because the standard format of considering political and legal ideas only within the framework of written sources does not allow for a comprehensive study of the influence of doctrines on legal consciousness. Visual as well as auditory sources significantly expand the picture of the legal world. Also, the author for the first time gave a classification of visual and legal sources, which, in turn, are divided into static and dynamic. The work clearly shows that law can also be studied in a visual context, which is to some extent an anthropological reading of the legal matter.

The article highlights some aspects of the Mordovian-Russian ethno-legal and ethno-cultural ties that have a centuries-old history, which led to mutual enrichment, the penetration of cultures, the development of many common norms of life and everyday life. The willingness to borrow and process influences in the organization of the lifestyles of Russians and Mordvins is associated with the compatibility of the mentalities that determined their perception of the world. As a result of the conducted research, the author came to the conclusion that the Russian and Mordvinian peoples, in the conditions of long-term good neighborliness, managed to carry through the centuries the original language and customs of their ancestors, each of them adapted the fundamental traditional norms of behavior of each other, and mainly Russian, in their culture. The general and special ethno-cultural and ethno-legal features of everyday life and life were especially vividly manifested in the communal structure, institutions of marriage and family, religious relations. The experience of the Mordvins in learning the Russian language testified to the progress of adaptation within the framework of a single state-legal space.

The article presents the results of a study of the problem of overcoming violations of the constitutional rights of participants in legal proceedings in cases with public resonance by criminal procedural means. The research is based on a dialectical approach to the study of social processes and phenomena, it used traditional methods for legal sciences - analysis and synthesis; comparative legal; formal legal; logical. The article is prepared on the basis of the author’s work experience as a criminal lawyer and is devoted to the analysis of the following problem. The sphere of criminal proceedings has always had the greatest law-limiting potential in comparison with other types of process. Legal restrictions can be divided into two types. The first type consists of legitimate and conditioned by the necessity and expediency of obtaining reliable evidence in the case, ensuring the normal implementation of the preliminary investigation, trial, other procedural stages and functions, protecting the security and rights of participants in the proceedings, other persons involved in this process, etc. In this sense, such very strict measures of procedural coercion as detention, house arrest, regulation of detention, search, operational search actions, etc. and related restrictions of rights are fully justified. This follows from the constitutional provision that human and civil rights and freedoms may be restricted by federal law only to the extent necessary in order to protect the foundations of the constitutional order, morality, health, rights and legitimate interests of other persons, to ensure the defense of the country and the security of the State. At the same time, procedural guarantees for the protection of suspects, accused, and defendants of their rights must be observed. The second type of legal restrictions in the field of criminal proceedings has no legal grounds and is associated with abuse and abuse of authority by law enforcement officers, preliminary investigation bodies, prosecutors, courts, etc. Such acts are clearly illegal, but at the same time their qualification can be different - from disciplinary, procedural, administrative to criminal. In the article, the author explores the background of the problem, using the example of criminal cases that have a public resonance, analyzes the system of rights of participants in legal proceedings, their legal regulation, the most common, most typical violations of the rights, first of all, of suspects, accused, defendants, as well as their defenders. Next, the author examines the legal means and mechanisms (methods) of overcoming violations in the criminal process. a number of conclusions and proposals aimed at improving the legal provision of the rights of these procedural subjects. In conclusion, based on the conducted research, the author formulates a number of conclusions and proposals aimed at overcoming the accusatory bias and violations of the rights of participants in court proceedings in cases with public resonance, improving and increasing the effectiveness of overcoming violations of the constitutional rights of participants in court proceedings in cases with public resonance.
