Protest Activity

Digitalization trends that have been actively developing in the Russian Federation over the past ten years have an impact on the protest moods of people who share a religious worldview. The authors of the publication were interested exclusively in digital forms of protest activity within the traditional confessions of Russian provincial cities, namely Orthodoxy and Islam. In view of the small number of people who profess Judaism in the provincial cities of the Russian Federation, and because of the dogmatic foundations of traditional Buddhism, which is extremely negative to any form of protest against existing political, economic, and social realities, these denominations have not given any significant examples of virtual protest on the Internet. The authors clearly distinguish between legal forms of digital protest in the religious semiosphere and forms of religious extremism and xenophobia, which are also beyond the scientific interest of the authors of this study. The subject of this analysis is the forms of virtual protest activity on the Internet, which are classified in the following areas: protest against religion as an institution that protects the existing political, economic, and social foundations of Russian society from the point of view of atheism and other faiths and religious systems; protest against the existing official confessional hierarchy within the normative religious discourse; protest against internal confessional dogmas aimed at reform or division...

The article discusses the influence and the risks from France’s rapprochement with the Russian Federation in the aftermath of Ukrainian – Russian war, what can present a threat to the EU Neighborhood Policy. The ideas and views expressed in the article, present exclusively the point of view of authors, who relied on a wide range of documents and official information from open sources, but they do not necessarily have to coincide with the opinion of other specialists. Currently expressing the desire to get Russia back to the dialogue with the European Union, which throughout the history defined Moscow as one of the main economic partners, France pursues the policy of appeasing the aggressor, neglecting the war in Ukraine. The Russian Federation violated the basics of the international law, having annexed the Crimean Peninsula and having occupied certain areas of Donetsk and Lugansk regions. The article underlines that Ukraine is not alone in the long least of Moscow pro-imperial plans and presents a threat to the stability and security of the continent. The analyses, also demonstrates the politics of France towards Ukraine during the last seven years. The article provides a complex evidence that there is a connotation between the Ukrainian – Russian war and the desire of Moscow to establish the instability zone along the borders of the European Union.

Against the background of increasing the factor of power in international relations of the states of the Euro-Atlantic, Eurasian and Asia-Pacific regions, undermining the system of global security, it is becoming clearer that the role of the Russian Federation lies in maintaining the strategic balance and balance of power in the world. This trend is becoming a key one in ensuring the stability of the system of international economic relations. Theoretical and methodological experience of past generations influenced the world community on adequate understanding of the real threats to national security. The analysis of the processes of interconnections and interdependences of military and economic security (as components of national security) revealed the mobility of the configuration of and shifting towards the priority of successful and prosperous economic development of the individual and society. The emphasis on solving the large-scale tasks facing the Russian state in the economy, social sphere, and infrastructure is stipulated by both the inefficiency of the processes of militarization and the arms race from a military point of view, and the unjustified costs from an economic point of view. The desire of Russian Federation for the effective functioning of the state policy is now confirmed by the concentration of efforts of the individual, society and the state on the introduction of outstanding achievements that underlie promising military developments in high-tech industries. When predicting the course and outcome of the processes of saving human civilization on our planet, it is logical and useful for the world community to take into account the expediency of extrapolation of the positive trend set by Russia, and the firm consolidation of this trend for many years.

The content of the new geo-strategic status of the Russian Federation that emerged after the collapse of the world socialist system and the collapse of the Soviet Union. The strategic conditions in which Russia is closely linked to the geopolitical environment that developed after the emergence of new independent states, the department new Russian borders. Russia in comparison with the USSR lost 25% of the territory, more than half of the population and the industrial and economic potential. RF is currently trying to stick to the geopolitical balance between Europe and Asia with a view to obtaining the role of the Eurasian transcontinental bridge. At the same time Russia was faced with geopolitical realities, which are connected with the restriction of its communications and foreign policy capabilities influence both on the west and south-east directions in connection with the new status of yesterday’s post-Soviet republics. Ukraine, Belarus and other former Soviet states of Eastern Europe addressed by the Russian Federation only as a geopolitical buffer on the south-western strategic flank. In the end, on the South Caucasus and Central Asia is assigned as a buffer on the south and south-east strategic flanks. From the point of view of the Russian geostrategy «vulnerable» segment of the border remains, which borders with Poland and the Baltic states. However, in recent years, Russia gradually loses its geopolitical influence in Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova. There is a significant probability that in the medium term, Belarus will pay its strategic vector of foreign policy towards the EU and NATO. Such transformation in the foreign policy of the newly independent states will be another step in the destruction of geopolitical influence of Russia in the post-Soviet space. This situation is further more than changing the geopolitical landscape of the post-Soviet space and affects the geopolitical picture of the world as a whole.

Cruel and inhumane acts that harm human life and health, as well as humiliate the dignity, are prohibited in most countries of the world, and Russia is no exception in this issue. The article presents an analysis of the institution of responsibility for torture in the Russian Federation. The author comes to the conclusion that the current criminal law of Russia superficially and fragmentally regulates liability for torture, in connection with which the author formulated the proposals to define such act as an independent crime. In the frame of modern globalization, the world community pays special attention to the protection of human rights, in connection with which large-scale international standards have been created a long time ago. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international acts enshrine prohibitions of cruel and inhumane acts that harm human life and health, as well as degrade the dignity.Considering the historical experience of the past, these standards focus on the prohibition of any kind of torture, regardless of the purpose of their implementation.

The article is devoted to the study of modern theoretical and legal problems of ensuring biological security in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The published Draft of Federal law No. 850485-7“On biological security of the Russian Federation”provides an opportunity to take a closer look at the problem of legal provision of biological security in relation to the most vulnerable ecosystems, and, first of all, the Arctic. The article considers the most important features and potential risks of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation of critical importance from the point of view of biological hazards, the features (specificity) of biological safety problems from the point of view of organizational-legal features and, in particular, from the perspective of environmental law. It is proved that, given the special situation of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, in addition to the base Federal law“About biological safety” required a specific law on biological and ecological safety of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, which should be generated on a slightly different model than the draft Federal law «On biological safety”, to wear the most specific, applied nature.
