In this paper, the authors highlight the legal basis for the use of biometric personal data, and also pay attention to the main initiative of the state in this area: the creation of a unified biometric system.

The study is particularly relevant in connection with the release of the new Federal law No. 168-FZ on June 8, 2020: “On the unified Federal information register containing information about the population of the Russian Federation.” In particular, an acute problem is the ability to integrate information from the unified biometric system and the Federal register that is being created.

The aim of this study is to expose possible trends in the influence on culture of digital and information technologies alongside the trends of the reverse influence of society on the development and application of these technologies. The authors analyze the changes taking place in the sphere of culture under the influence of the rapid development and adoption of informational and digital technologies. The hypothesis is formulated of the possible patterns of interaction in the “digital culture” system. In their conclusion, the authors define the main trends in the influence of new technologies on culture in general.

The author of the article substantiates the position that the issue of reform of the Security Council, the main political body of the UN, is a key issue in world politics and international law, and intersects with the strategic interests of states, the most active players on the world stage, as well as the interests of all regions of the world. The article analyzes the advantages afforded to permanent members of this body and describes the main approaches to Security Council reform. It critically assesses attempts to deconstruct the world order through such reform and suggests ways to counter them. It also formulates criteria for evaluating compliance with the status of a permanent member of the Security Council. and demonstrates the potential of these criteria by evaluating the validity of claims and real chances for this status by the group of four G-4 states (Brazil, India, Germany, and Japan), as well as by European and African countries. The author offers a model of UN Security Council reform that takes into account the interests of Russia and world realities.

The question of social danger, its criteria and structure, is literally central in the doctrine of crime. There are tens, if not hundreds, of works devoted to this topic. Despite this, social danger still remains one of the most controversial areas of criminal law theory, and an underexamined field of study.

The conclusion about the danger of a crime is the result of legislative consideration of many factors, which only provide a basis for criminalization. It should be obvious that each of these components can and should be independently assessed for public danger. Only in their totality can an act and its consequences be integrated into a general conclusion about the danger of a crime bia “separate” assessments of the danger of an individual. Among these factors, an act as a consciously volitional unlawful behavior of a person plays a special role. The act and its danger are an independent subject of assessment by the legislator and law enforcement body; the assessment of the danger of the act and the assessment of the danger of the crime are different types of assessment practice.

The prosecutor's judicial protection of public interests in the use and protection of specially protected natural areas is a cross-functional, complex, non-inspection area of the prosecutorial activity. The conceptual apparatus of activity is currently not fully formed. The key concept is the subject of activity, the correct understanding of which depends on the correct setting of goals, tasks, and the effective implementation of the powers granted to the prosecutor. The author, on the basis of the established approaches to understanding the subject matter of prosecutorial activity, the concept of a single and general subject matter of activity, and the objectives of the proceedings, formulated a single subject matter of the prosecutor's activity for the judicial protection of public interests in the use and protection of specially protected natural areas. It includes the protection of public interest regarding the use and protection of specially protected natural areas, compliance with the laws of acts (omissions) and decisions of persons, including persons involved in the case, the legality and validity of court decisions in order to actually eliminate the revealed violations of law on specially protected natural areas, compensation for harm, and ensuring the inevitability of punishment of violators.

In addition, the general subject of the prosecutor's activities to protect public interests in the use and protection of specially protected natural areas in general consists of the subject of prosecutorial supervision over the implementation of the Constitution and laws of the Russian Federation, including laws concerning specially protected natural areas, the subject of prosecutor's supervision at the pre-trial stage of criminal proceedings, the subject matter of participation in the consideration by the courts of cases in all types of proceedings for the protection of public interests in the use and protection of protected persons, the subject of supervision of the enforcement of laws by bailiffs by administrations of institutions and bodies, enforcing punishment, in the execution of court decisions in cases of violations in the field of the use and protection of protected persons, the subject of coordination, and subjects of participation in law-making activities.
