EVICTION OF LANDOWNERS FROM THE MARI AUTONOMOUS OBLAST IN THE 1920'S
UDC: 930.923
Section: HISTORY
Authors: Alexey A. Ivanov; Anatolii A. Solovev;
Based on the archival sources, that are put for the first time into scientific circulation, the article deals with the issue of the organization of the activities of the Mari Oblast Commission on the eviction of landowners (1925). The place and the role of the commission in changing the agrarian course of Soviet Russia in the middle of the NEP period are determined. The study shows the specificity of the pre-revolutionary land management of the Mari Oblast (the absence of large landed estates) and its reflection in the course of events, in particular – community-based organizations of the local rural population. The real motives of the activities of the commission and its results are shown. The place and significance of newly identified sources in the comprehensive study of agrarian transfor-mations in the Soviet pre-kolkhoz village of the Mari Autonomous Oblast in the 1920s were determined. The article specifies that during the years 1917–1918 the agrarian reform on the redistribution of landed property on the European territory of the country, beginning with a secret procedure, and then, after the establishment of the Soviet power, having passed into the official channel, was almost completed. The fate of the former landowners and their family members differed. Not all of them were evicted from the places of their former residence. According to statistical surveys of the first half of the 1920s, a significant part of the “formers”, having significantly reduced their economic potential and standard of living, remained at the same place, which allowed the Soviet land legislation. However, this situation was relatively brief. Already in 1925, as the results of the work of the Mari Oblast Commission on the eviction of landowners showed, both explicit and secretive individual entrepreneurship in the agricultural sector of the economy was completely eliminated in the territory of the region. The main group of peasants, tradi-tionally called “middle peasants” in historiography, was now the main agricultural producer of the village of the period of the new economic policy. They remained so until the end of the 1920s, together with a small number of more affluent villagers (“kulaks”).

UDC: 94(100)"1914/1919"-058.65
Section: HISTORY
Authors: Galina V. Rokina ;
The article deals with the issue of military captivity during the First World War. The study analyzes the poorly studied aspect of the topic: position of the prisoners of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy in provincial district cities of the Russian Empire. During the First World War, massive surrender was most typical of the Austrian army. The Austro-Hungarian troops lost in captivity more than two million people. The article presents the results of studies by Russian military anthropologists on the national composition of the army of the Habsburg monarchy. Particular attention is paid to the Austrian Slavs, the attitude to which was regulated by a special circular in Russia during the war. The archival materials show the situation of refugees, internees and prisoners of war located in the district cities of the Kazan province – Tsarevokokshaisk and Kozmodemyansk, accommodation centers, from where part of the refugees were distributed to local volosts.
ACTIVITIES OF THE GOVERNING BODIES OF THE MARI ASSR FOR IMPROVING THE WORK OF RURAL CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS AFTER THE WAR
UDC: 008(470.343)
Section: HISTORY
Authors: Vladimir I. Rybalka ;
In this article, based on archival sources, the budget and the material base of cultural and educational institutions in the post-war period are considered. During this period, rural clubs and reading rooms were staffed mostly illiterate, untrained staff, and were not centers of mass political and educational work in the village. To better manage the network of cultural and educational institu-tions, in May 1946 the departments of cultural and educa-tional work were created at the district executive commit-tees of the Soviets of working people's deputies, and the Office for cultural and educational institutions under the Council of Ministers of the MASSR. It was a state body and it was called upon to perform the functions of guiding and monitoring the work of educational institutions. Six-month training courses for reading rooms and rural clubs, National lecture Bureau were organized; lecture groups with district departments of cultural and educa-tional work were created. At the September (1953) Plenum of the Central Committee of the CPSU, it was noted that all the activities of cultural institutions should be closely related to life, production, and practical tasks. Every village club, library, red corner is obliged to render active assistance to collective farmers in the struggle for the implementation of the tasks put forward. The most important task of cultural and educational institutions was to became propagandists of advanced experience and achievements of science. In the 1950s, large, economically strong collective farms of the Mari Republic could build public buildings, cultural and educational institutions on a large scale, and more fully satisfy the spiritual demands of the peasants. It was then that important decisions were taken by the Council of Ministers and the Ministry of Culture of the Mari ASSR, republican congresses and meetings of cultural workers were held, which examined the issues of improving the activities of cultural and educational institutions in the countryside.
INFLUENCE OF RUSSIAN-HUNGARIAN RELATIONS ON HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL SPACE OF THE CITY OF YOSHKAR-OLA
UDC: 911.37
Section: HISTORY
Authors: Marija V. Stafievskaya ; Daniil A. Zhukov ;
In recent years, the image of the city of Yoshkar-Ola is rapidly changing. Old buildings disappear, new architec-tural complexes and sculptural compositions grow in their place, boulevards and parks are reconstructed, and their names are also transformed. Through studying the names of streets and squares, parks, buildings and monuments, we leaf through the pages of a distant and recent past. This combination creates a unique historical and cultural appearance of the city. The appearance and affirmation of Hungarian toponyms in the speech not only enriches our language, but also contributes to the expansion of our horizons, to awareness of ownership of their history and culture. Unfortunately, our city cannot boast of the identity of the names of its streets and squares. Typical for any Soviet city names Sovetskaya, Proletarskaya, Krasno-armeyskaya, Komsomolskaya, Pervomayskaya – still point to the value priorities of the Soviet state. New microdistricts quite often received their names by the numbers: First, Second, Ninth. However, among this monotony, we can distinguish a number of original toponyms of Hungarian origin that appeared in the urban landscape in the 1970s: the unique Vashkaya street, the Szombathely microdistrict, the Savaria store. They successfully blended into the toponymic system of the city and today, in our opinion, favorably differ from the typical names of the era of socialism. Thus, there is reason to believe that the emer-gence of Hungarian names in the capital is associated with the development of cultural and political ties between related Finno-Ugric peoples, and their steady presence in speech is due to motivation, expressiveness and ease of use, which was a hypothesis in the relevance of the study. The article reveals the results of studying the influ-ence of Russian-Hungarian relations on the historical and cultural space of the city of Yoshkar-Ola.
SLAVIC QUESTION IN “THE CONFESSION” OF THE RUSSIAN ANARCHIST BAKUNIN
UDC: 329.285
Section: HISTORY
Authors: Andrej V. Tajgil'din ;
The article covers the revolutionary actions of the Russian revolutionist and anarchist Michael Aleksandrovich Bakunin during the 40s of the 19th century and his views on the idea of the Slavic union. These problems are regarded in the context of “The confession”, which was written by Bakunin in 1851 in the Petropavlovskaya fort at the request of Nikolay I. The intention of the article was to show Bakunin's role in the revolutionary movement of Europe of the 40s of the 19th century and the place and role of the Slavic ideology. Being based on this resource we can come to the conclusion that the revolutionary activity of Bakunin is strongly connected with the Slavic union. At that time Bakunin hadn't become an anarchist yet, nevertheless he was one of the few people who denied the union of the Slavic under the aegis of any country – Poland, Bohemia or Russia. On the Slavic congress in Prague in 1848 Bakunin spoke about the need to create a federation of Slavic states based on political equality. In “The confession” it is easy to notice the evolution of Bakunin’s views on the Slavic question that begins with the simple idea of uniting Poland and Russia and ends with the creations of a Slavic federation in Constantinople.

UDC: 347.235
Section: LAW
Authors: Zarina K. Kondratenko ;
The author considers actual problems of legal regulation of protection of property rights to land plots. In particular, the work raises the issue of collecting damages as one of the ways of protection, investigates the real-legal means of protection and others. The author examines contemporary civil and land legislation, gives examples of judicial practice on the issue under study. Conflicts are revealed in the existing legal regulation of protection methods, the points of view of other authors on the definition of the concept of “means of protection” are analyzed. The aim of the work is to create a holistic view of the current problems of legal regulation of the use of property rights to land plots. Methods of research are public and private, including formal-logical methods (hypothesis, analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction). Among special methods historical, legal and technical, intersectoral, comparative legal, systemic and other methods of scientific knowledge are applied. The practical significance of the research is that the results can be used for the purposes of lawmaking in order to improve the norms of land and civil legislation. Separate provisions can be perceived by judicial practice when considering and resolving cases. Scientific proposals can be applied also in the preparation of programs, manuals and in the courses “Civil Law”, “Land Law”. The results of the study are the conclusions that currently in law enforcement practice there is a problem related to compensation for harm caused to the environment, which is compensated in accordance with the established procedure and timing of the calculation of the amount of damage. To determine the amount of compensation for damages caused as a result of damage to land as an object, special methods used in some cases. It should be noted that when determining the amount of damage, it does not correspond to the actual harm caused. We believe that in this case it is necessary to be guided by the actual costs necessary to restore the disturbed state of the land plot, taking into account the losses incurred, including the lost profit.
ACTUAL PROBLEMS OF REGULATION RELATIONS IN THE BUILDING CONTRACT
UDC: 657.36
Section: LAW
Authors: Oleg I. Lashmanov ;
The article is devoted to the research of the essential conditions of the building contract. Construction disputes have traditionally been a significant part of the cases that are considered by Russian courts. In general, such disputes relate to the payment of work performed by the contractor, the customer's claims regarding their quality or timing of implementation. In this case, the parties often dispute the essential terms of the contract. In order for the agreement to become beneficial for both parties, it is necessary to pay special attention to agreeing all the essential conditions and including them in the signed contract. Such attention to the drafting of the agreement is the key to successful mutual relations and the protection of the parties, and it is able to prevent possible disagreements in the future. As a rule, the majority of conflicts between the parties are connected with the inconsistency of the essential conditions and the recognition of the contract as not concluded. At present, the contracting party needs to very carefully agree on the terms of the contract to minimize the risks of abuse of the right by the counterparty. The essential conditions are of particular importance here, since their absence in the contract or the incorrect wording may lead to the recognition of the contract as not concluded. The essential terms of the construction contract include the object and the term. In addition, a separate place in the work is given to the issues of the agreement of the price of the building contract. The article reveals the problems that arise when concluding a building contract and the ways of their solution are proposed.

Authors: Tatiana N. Mikheeva ;
Public control is an essential tool in the relationship between government and civil society in modern democracies. However, this public institution has not yet received a legal settlement in many countries. At the same time, the Federal Law “On the basis of public control in the Russian Federation” has been adopted for about three years and is valid in Russia now, some experience of its practical application has been accumulated, some legal gaps have been revealed. Today, it is already clear that it is necessary to make additions to the law, and to change existing norms. This was repeatedly raised questions by both scientists and practitioners. The purpose of the study is to analyze the draft law aimed at improving the legal basis for public control. One of the tasks is to evaluate the proposed changes from the standpoint of their adequacy to the challenges of the time. Therefore, the proposed legislative novels in terms of expanding the list of the subjects of public control, which are clearly insufficient in the current law, are analyzed in the work. The study also analyzed the legal norms concerning the objects of public control, the changed notion of public control. Another task of the study is the development of author's proposals for the improvement of the legal act, which need to be included in the draft law. A complex of various methods of cognition is used in the study. General scientific and special legal methods were among them: analysis, synthesis, formal and legal and systemstructural methods. The methodological toolkit allowed to achieve the set goal and to solve the research problems. The conclusions of the work are not only of a scientific nature, but also of interest for the practice of public control, for improving the interaction of government bodies with public institutions, citizens.

NATIONAL SECURITY IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION: THEORETICAL-LEGAL RESEARCH
UDC: 340.113
Section: LAW
Authors: Dmitrij E. Svistunov ;
The article examines the theoretical and legal bases of national security of the Russian Federation. The author examines the concept of national security, as well as the main approaches to understanding its essence. The study suggests a dialectical solution to the problem of correlation of various approaches to the interpretation of the notion of “national security”, which allows us to remove contradictions and opposition of these components of national security. According to the author's approach, the human person is the initial element of the society and the state, therefore, its security is inextricably a part of the state and public security. At the same time, the person is interested in ensuring state security, in general, since only in this case its own security will be guaranteed. On the basis of a comprehensive analysis of the research literature, it is concluded that in modern conditions, in the presence of numerous external and internal chal-lenges and threats, only the preservation of strong and stable statehood makes it possible to ensure a proper level of protection of the legitimate rights and interests of the individual. In addition, the study analyzes the structure of the national security of the Russian Federation, which provides a deeper understanding of the essence of national security. Speaking about the structure of national security, we can allocate its constituent elements, in particular, the object, the subject and the content. The author suggests the interpretation of national security as a complex state-legal institution, which includes a set of legal mechanisms aimed at ensuring the proper protection of the individual, society and the state in various fields. Finally, it is concluded that under the conditions of the modern legal democratic state, the state and public interests in the sphere of proper national security are inextricably linked with the respective interests of citizens living in it.
CONCEPT AND CHARACTERISTICS OF FAMILY RELATIONSHIP
UDC: 347.6
Section: LAW
Authors: Jel'mira N. Sharafutdinova ;
A healthy, strong family is the guarantee of stability and prosperity for any society. The family is that social structure in which, first of all, the reproduction of man as a member of society takes place. It is in the family that the person's worldview is initially formed, and his social qualities are formed. The family is called upon to play an exceptional role in the life of society, its stabilization, overcoming social tension. By its nature and purpose, the family is an ally of society in solving the root problems: overcoming depopulation, establishing moral principles in society, socializing children, developing culture and economy, and family entrepreneurship. However, the family's potential is not being implemented effectively. The most important task of the family policy should be the development of mechanisms and technologies that make it possible to actively use the capabilities of the family as a public institution in solving complex problems of the development of our society. Until now, an extremely unfavorable situation in the field of population reproduction has been taking shape in the Russian Federation. This can be described as a prolonged demographic crisis leading to irreversible negative demographic, and hence economic and social consequences. The country's leadership drew attention to this problem. In his message to the Federal Assembly, the President of the Russian Federation proposed to declare 2008 the Year of the Family in Russia. We can say that these events have allowed to unite the efforts of the state, society, business around the most important issues of strengthening the authority and support of the family institution, basic family values. This statement emphasizes the relevance of issues related to family relations. At present, it is necessary to raise the prestige of motherhood and paternity, to create conditions that favor the birth and upbringing of children. The problem of low fertility can not be solved without changing the attitude of the whole society to the family and its values. Measures to create conditions favorable for the birth of children, contributing to the reduction of mortality, should be implemented simultaneously.
ON LEGAL DEFENDER MEANS OF QUALIFIED LEGAL AID WHEN APPLUING MEASURES OF PROCEDURAL COERCION
UDC: 343.13
Section: LAW
Authors: Svetlana A. Yakovleva ; Sergey Nikolaevich Krivorotov ;
The Constitution enshrines the right of a suspect or accused to receive qualified legal assistance. Despite the fact that it has been nearly 20 years since the designation of the problem of interpretation of concept “the qualified legal aid” in the decision of the constitutional Court of the Russian Federation from January 28, 1997, the issue of the interpretation of qualified legal assistance is not allowed to date. Skilled legal assistance on the scope and content is a broad concept, as it turns out, many of the participants in criminal proceedings. Protection of rights and legal interests of suspect, accused, defendant, convicted person by the advocate of the person, is one of the types of qualified legal assistance. In pre-trial criminal proceedings the amount of the criminal procedural activity of the defender of the number of lawyers has identified the measures necessary to protect the interests of the suspect and the accused. To prevent unlawful and unjustified limitations on the rights of suspects and accused persons, the authors propose to extend individual protections in criminal proceedings, since the legislator has not taken into account the various situational circumstances. Speaking about criminal procedural protections in pre-trial criminal proceedings, the authors emphasize the direct and active participation of the defender in all the procedural actions conducted with the participation of the accused, especially in the application of detention of a suspect and preventive measure in the form of pledge, house arrest, detention, restrictions on freedom of movement and personal integrity. The need for legislative recognition of the duty of awarding the defender of the copies of procedural documents on the application or on election of measures of criminal procedural coercion will avoid procedural errors and the implementation of the principles of criminal proceedings, not affecting protected by criminal law, the secrecy of the preliminary investigation.
