Considering the substantive features of the digital rights recently introduced in the current legislation indicates that the rules of information systems established by their owners are the most vulnerable to crime. An increased level of risk is created by the possibility introduced by Russian entities to use the digital rights of foreign information systems because their rules do not meet the requirements of Russian legislation. This significantly complicates the disclosure of blanket dispositions of the relevant criminal law norms, which represents the solution of inverse challenges that have a certain analogy with the solution of integral equations with several uncertainties. The described system of computer modeling of criminal manifestations in the field of digital rights covers all challenges, the solution of which will create a modern system of criminal law protection of subjects concerning digital rights. The first part is aimed at preparing and justifying changes and additions to criminal legislation and procedures. The second part covers the challenges of proper information and methodological support for investigative actions concerning the establishment of the subject of proof, collection, verification, and evaluation of evidence in relevant criminal cases. This passage describes the features of the approaches and methods used for the formation of appropriate hierarchical systems of legal algorithms. It also details how the creation is based on the packages of applied computer programs for practical application in an interactive mode.

The preservation of an individual’s personal and species identity depends on their affiliation with specific forms of cooperation. Living together deprives individuals of certain freedoms and promises, such as compensation, security, and the possibility of self-realization. However, such a guarantee can only be provided by a specially organized society that, due to the correct organization of relations between parts and the whole, achieves a synergistic effect. The generalized indicator of such a society is justice, which accumulates other values that are significant for individuals, such as freedom, equality, and solidarity. The historical experience of human communities shows that the most reliable of the known instances of justice is positive (state) law. This article provides an argument supporting the thesis that justice, as the objective of law, is achieved during its application, especially when it acts as one of its guiding principles.

In this article, the author proposes that the most common type of political regime lies beneath the dominance of capital plutocracy. The author differentiates opposing trends in specific actions taken by various factions of the ruling class to define their value orientations. The article focuses on the pro-Western fifth column, a prominent class in our country, comprising individual representatives of power structures and open-minded professionals, while expressing full support for a part of the domestic establishment (headed by the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin) and the associated patriotic intelligentsia whose aim is to comprehensively revive Russia’s power. At the same time, the author believes that the mobilization of all institutions of the state and society is necessary to defeat the collective West, a feat that is only possible by upholding the fundamental foundations of capitalism.

This article explores the first application of the provisions outlined in Article 4.1.2 of the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses that establishes a special procedure for imposing administrative fines. The author analyzes the procedure and features of the application of the provisions and determines its position in the area of sentencing for administrative offenses. Finally, the author presents the preliminary results of analyzing the effectiveness of these provisions.

Legal facts (events) are relatively infrequent occurrences in tax law. The influence of legal facts (events) on the dynamics of the tax-legal relationship is debatable. Thus, the fragmentation of the study of legal events considering the so-called volitional classification of legal facts is noted. In this article, we analyze the position of events in the area of the legal facts of tax law and characterize its importance and value.

The relevance of the subject matter in this article can be attributed to the growing interest in both scientific papers and legal acts. Despite the widespread use of this concept, there is no consensus in legal science regarding its precise definition or content.

The purpose of this article is to develop scientific provisions that reflect the patterns of development and functioning of the state’s national interests. Thus, while developing this article, the author set the following principles: to define the concept of national interests, describe the stages of their definition, identify the objective properties of national interests, and reveal the characteristic features of the reflection of national interests in the strategic acts of the Russian Federation.

However, while studying national interests, the dialectical method of cognition was used as a philosophical basis, as well as general scientific research methods such as ascending from the abstract to the concrete and the system-structural method. Additionally, specific scientific methods such as formal-legal were applied, and logical tools for knowledge, including analysis, synthesis, deduction, and induction.

As a result, the following conclusions were drawn:

1) national interests can be defined as the basis on which a state’s foreign and domestic policies are implemented; 2) when describing national interests, it is important to consider the interests of society; 3) to assess the national interest, it seems possible to note several objective properties such as social significance, sustainability, and reality; 4) within the strategic documents of the Russian Federation relating to national interests, there is an indication that the goal of realizing national interests, is to protect the constitutional rights and freedoms of individuals and citizens. These statements can be considered a benchmark against which specific decisions should be evaluated and assessed. This article was described within the framework of the Russian Science Foundation project No. 23-28-01457 “Vectors for the development of law-making in the implementation of certain interests of Russia: problems and prospects”.

In this article, considering the negative situation in the area of nature management and protection of forests and forest plantations, the existing imperfections of legislation are analyzed in detail, and based on the analysis, changes aimed at improving legal regulation in the area under consideration are proposed. This article analyzes the opinions of various authors who previously considered similar challenges in their works.

In this article, the author addresses a rather specific issue – the peculiarities of compliance with the criminal procedural requirements for evidence in cases involving crimes committed through the use of debt obligations. This primarily concerns combattiting criminal behavior such as fraud, property-related offenses, and various illicit actions in bankruptcy cases. The public danger of such crimes is associated with a significant impact of their consequences on normal economic activity. Currently, civil and arbitration procedural laws do not grant judge, prosecutor, or other state representatives sufficient authority to uncover illegal actions or identify falsified evidence. The purpose of this article was to highlight the peculiarities of how criminal procedural legislation deals with cased involving falsification of obligations. Based on this study, the author formulated proposals for reforming criminal procedure law.
