The article is devoted to the issues related to lawful limitations of constitutional rights in the Russian Federation. The limitation of human rights is a complex and multi-layered phenomenon. The author uses both formal and other criteria. In addition, there is a territorial aspect to this problem in Russia. The author analyzes the powers of subjects of the Russian Federation to regulate legal relations in the sphere of constitutional human rights, and considers the possibility of their lawful limitation by the legislations of subjects of the Russian Federation. In addition, the author examines reasons and consequences of unlawful restriction of human rights by laws of the subjects of the Russian Federation. Terminological problems are discussed. In particular, the author distinguishes between such terms as “limits of legal regulation” and “limitation of human rights”, “human rights” and “rights of participants”. The author formulates theoretical arguments about the possibility of partial legal regulation of constitutional human rights.

At the same time, the provision is taken as a basis that any, in direct or indirect form, affecting the constitutional rights of citizens in the course of operational-search activities, entails the need to obtain a court decision for such activities. The question of the need to reform the criminal legislation is outlined.

The article is devoted to the improvement of operational-search legislation in the field of organization of operational-search activities in the criminal Executive system, in particular, the grounds and conditions for conducting operational-search activities that restrict the constitutional rights of citizens, as well as their conduct in relation to those sentenced to non-custodial sentences. The main legal and organizational problem is the lack of legal grounds for conducting operational search activities that require court approval when conducting search work and, as a result, the inability to use the entire set of tools and methods for solving crimes, as well as an incorrect interpretation of article 18.1 of the criminal code of the Russian Federation.

The purpose of this study was an attempt to theoretically understand the subject of judicial consideration of complaints against decisions, actions (inaction) of officials carrying out criminal prosecution. The research was carried out on the basis of comparative legal, formal logical, empirical, statistical methods. Judicial statistics for the year 2020 have been provided, and legislation has been studied from a historical and contemporary perspective, taking into account the practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation. The problem is that, in practice, for about 20 years the courts have had difficulties in determining the subject of complaints, since neither in theory nor in practice a consensus has been developed on this issue. The Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation also does not contain a definition of the concept of «subject matter». The situation is aggravated by the presence of evaluative concepts in the text of the law, leading to a varied understanding of the subject of appeal by the courts, which leads to a violation of the constitutional rights of citizens at the pre-trial stages of criminal proceedings. In the article, taking into account the analysis of the practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, legislation and the opinion of scientists, a recommendation was made to amend the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation to specify the subject of consideration of complaints in accordance with Art. 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation in order to eliminate existing contradictions in practice and increase the level of protection of individual rights in pre-trial proceedings.

The priority task of any democratic state is safeguarding the interests of children, including the right of every child to live in a family. Adoption of orphans or children deprived of parental care is becoming more and more common in present-day Russia, which makes the issue of legal regulation highly relevant. The article examines the problems of implementing a complex legal mechanism that regulates the protection of the confidentiality of adoption and imposes criminal liability for violating it. It should be acknowledged that there are diverse approaches to the problem of criminal law protection of the confidentiality of adoption. The authors analyze the views of different scholars on this problem. They present a critical analysis of the viewpoint that the norm imposing liability for such a violation should be abolished and prove the social importance of preserving the confidentiality. The authors also discuss the problem areas of criminal law characteristics of crimes connected with violating the confidentiality of adoption and conduct a comprehensive research of this issue. The analysis of current legislation shows that it includes a sufficient number of norms safeguarding the confidentiality of adoption. At the same time, this legal institute includes some specific norms that need improvement, require editing or amending, which, according to the authors, stops them from performing their preventive functions. The article contains concrete recommendations on improving current Russian legislation in this sphere, in particular, on improving the clauses of Art. 155 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which establishes criminal liability in those cases where the confidentiality of adoption is violated. Besides, the authors examine the controversial issue of limiting the confidentiality of adoption because they believe that it is not lawful to deny a person who has reached majority the right guaranteed by the Constitution of the RF to learn information concerning him/herself, in this case, the right to know who their parents are. They suggest amending Art. 139 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation, which will make it possible to fully guarantee the constitutional rights of citizens.

The paper presents the author’s view of the problem of interaction between international and national administrative law and attempts to determine the place of the Convention on the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms in the Russian legal system and the administrative and tort legislation of the country. Based on the analysis of different points of view, the conclusion is enunciated that international treaties ratified by the Russian Federation are incorporated into the general body of administrative legislation; and they constitute a source of administrative law in the part in which they contain legal provisions governing the administrative and legal status of citizens, as well as guarantees of its implementation, including guarantees of equitable justice in cases arising from public law relations and administrative and tort cases. In this regards, the author analyzes the provisions of Article 1.1 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, determining the place and role of universally recognized principles and norms of international law and international treaties of the Russian Federation in the system of sources of administrative and tort law—the author refers the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms to the sources mentioned above. The paper considers this Convention as an international treaty of the Russian Federation that not only regulates interstate relations, but also actively invades the regulation of procedural administrative responsibility, since it establishes the general parameters of a fair trial in administrative and tort cases. The paper also pays attention to the implementation in the draft Code of Administrative Offences of the Russian Federation and the Procedural Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offences of the Constitutional Principle concerning international legal norms in the legal system of the Russian Federation.

The study is of a dogmatic and empirical nature. It presents the scope of legal regulation of selected crimes against constitutional rights and freedoms of a human and citizen contained in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation of 1996. It discusses the provisions concerning violations of law that may occur at different stages of the electoral process. The study describes forbidden behaviours of a voter, a member of an electoral commission and an electoral committee, a participant of a referendum initiative group and another group of referendum participants, as well as acts committed against the mentioned subjects. They were analysed according to the classical arrangement of the statutory attributes of a criminal offence. The analysis confirmed the validity of the criminalisation of many behaviours that impede the holding of lawful, reliable and fair elections. Next, the study presents a statistical picture of the analysed acts. The dynamics of registered offences against elections in the years 1997–2017 (from the first year of the Penal Code of 1996 to the present day) and the number of convictions for their commission in the period 2009–2017 were presented (due to limited access to data). This allowed to show the scale of the phenomenon and the reaction of the courts to it.
