“BAD ENGLAND” – THE REVERSE SIDE OF THE VICTORIAN SOCIETY OF THE SECOND HALF OF THE XIX CENTURY
UDC: 94(41) 185
Section: HISTORY
Authors: Valeriya A. Andrianova ; Galina V. Rokina ;
On the extensive source material, the article reveals the “reverse side” of the brilliant Victorian society. Poor population, flooded streets of English cities, slums of London and Glasgow; disenfranchised women, sick children and criminal elements were typical of this. The article shows that intensive urbanization, excessive taxes, increase in food prices, rents and high cost of essential goods became a catalyst for the growth of social tension. The historical sources for the reconstruction of life in the so-called “Bad England” were statistics materials, Russian and English journalism, works of leaders of liberal movements, English literature. It is convincingly proved that the term “Bad England” was first introduced by contemporaries of that era; it was used both in the British caricature and in the writings of the leaders of political parties. The estimation of that epoch, given by the prime minister of England B. Disraeli, the closest ally of Queen Victoria is given. The author of this article reproduces many of the features of “Bad England” from the materials of the Fabian society, which carried out the line of “small deeds”, as well as the writings of the leaders of the suffrage movement. A great deal of support was given to the Fabian society at that time among the slum dwellers. People bought up for last money the magazine “Economist”, widely popular in the second half of the XIX century. The guests of the workhouses had a hope to find a family again, and the criminal world expected an amnesty. The struggle for the suffrage, equality and independence of women became slogans of suffragettes, which was obviously perceived negatively by society. For this very reason, this organization became for the contemporaries part of the so-called “Bad England”. At the same time, it was the suffragettes who became the most consistent fighters for women's rights and the advancement of women and children.
FIRST STATE PRISON IN THE MARI LAND
UDC: 343.81(09)(470.343)
Section: HISTORY
Authors: Oleg A. Egoshin ;
This study attempts to restore part of the history of the city of Tsarevokokshaysk (Yoshkar-Ola) associated with the appearance of the first prison institution of the Russian Empire in the Mari region. This fact was undeservedly forgotten and hushed up for a long time. The article notes that the prison and the amanat's yard for hostages in Tsarevokokshaisk district, as a means of isolating the criminals, appear quite early and were built almost simultaneously with the foundation of the city. The publication shows how penitentiary legislation has been gradually changed and improved, as well as the conditions and regime of detention of detainees, the structure and security staff in Tsarevokokshaisk district prison. It is established that in the first quarter of the 19th century in the city, instead of a wooden guard with a prison, a one-story stone prison castle with the same wall was built. The building has been preserved and until recently used in the Detention Unit No. 1 for its intended purpose. It was determined that by the beginning of the 20th century places of detention and imprisonment in Tsarevokokshaisk were: a prisoner's room under the police department; Tsarevokokshaisk district house of arrest (it had four degrees of arrest from 1 day to 3 months) and the first state prison in the Mari region – the Uyezd prison (prison lock) on Pokrovskaya street (now Sovetskaya street, 100). The study suggests that today, when we often turn to foreign experience in the issues of improving and developing correctional institutions, the study of personal historical and legal past is particularly significant both theoretically and in practice.

DEATH AS AN INDICATOR OF THE EUROPEAN INDIVIDUALITY OF THE MIDDLE AGES AND EARLY MODERN TIMES
UDC: 94
Section: HISTORY
Authors: Julija S. Obidina ;
The purpose of this article is to investigate some aspects of the medieval mentality and mentality of the early modern age associated with death in Europe, in particular: generally accepted beliefs, social practices and values associated with death. To a significant extent, the Christian religion and the church left their mark in these social practices and values, however, it was shown that there was also a parallel tradition, besides the predominant Christian tradition. In addition to the inevitable regional differences, there were social and mental differences. After the Reformation, the new evan-gelical churches began to form their own beliefs and customs on the basis of a common Christian back-ground, reviewing or refusing some basic principles. Particular attention is paid to the personal moment in the perception of death, which appears in the Middle Ages both within the Christian tradition and outside it. This perception is reflected not only in mental constructions, but also in material culture, and has its own symbolic expression. It is also noted that the realization of one's own death was associated with the realization of one's own individuality, as well as with the realization of a new sense of time for a person. The new image of death that arose in the era of the transition from the Middle Ages to the New Time, changed the notion of man, leveling the human body to a simple object, and not “the image and likeness of God”. In conclusion, it is noted, that death today remains the only universal truth of our being.

UDC: 02
Section: HISTORY
Authors: Tat'yana A. Petrova ;
The aim of the study is the historical conditions of the librarianship situation in the Mari Autonomous Oblast during the first five-year plan period. Archival and published materials, legislative acts and statistical data, as well as regulatory documents regulating the activities of libraries are used in the study. Comparative methods of research (source analysis and synthesis, generalization, system-structural analysis) are applied. The results of the study are as follows. Characterizing 1927–1933, as the years of stabilization of the library science in the Mari Autonomous Oblast, it should be noted changes that concerned not only individual libraries, but also the entire the librarianship as a whole. The cultural campaigns to eliminate illiteracy played a big role. The emergence of scientific libraries with the opening of institutes, the growth of specialized secondary schools, the increased attention paid to work with peasants, farm laborers during the period of collectivization and workers in the period of industrialization helped expand the network of libraries and change their functions. The work of the red corners in the countryside, which fulfilled the main burden of cultural enlightenment work in small villages, was significantly intensified. Improvement of library services for children was noted, although the composition of book funds was depressing. The attention to work with the population on a national basis increased. The publication of books in the Mari language sharply increased. Conclusions: during this period, the basic state-party documents in the field of librarianship were adopted, including for the national regions, a five-year plan for the development of this branch in the Mari Autonomous Oblast was adopted. The movement “A book to collective farms” began in the field, in the shop, in the brigade. Nevertheless, the state of librarianship in the regions was recognized as unsatisfactory by the government of the country: the number of stationary libraries was reduced, the library officers were low-qualified, the quality of book funds remained unsuitable to the readers' requests, the library's material resources were very poor, real plans were not accepted, etc. But on the whole, it was a progress in the history of the MASSR, since the illiteracy of the population was finished, and the library business became in demand.

Section: HISTORY
Authors: Alexander A. Filonov ;
The article reveals the condition and development of peasant forest crafts in the Tsarevokokshaysk county of the Kazan province in the second half of the XIXth – the beginning of the XXth centuries. The intensification of these crafts during the period under review was caused by various reasons, including a reduction in the size of peasant land tenure, the need for timely payment of state taxes and the performance of duties, and an insufficient level of material well-being. The work of the peasants of the Tsarevokokshaysk county in the hiring of timber merchants on forest development and rafting in winter has become widespread since the middle of the XIXth century. Chemical processing and mechanical processing of wood developed at a rapid pace. Peasants were actively engaged in tar-smoking, production of charcoal and turpentine. Further development was gained by cooper's production and other crafts, production of agricultural tools, vehicles, chests, baskets, bent furniture, production of products from birch barks, etc. Peasant crafts on processing of wood were more and more involved in the commodity-money relations. Other types of forest crafts (hunting, beekeeping) were also essential help in peasant economy and one of means of payment of state taxes.

PROBLEM OF COPYRIGHT PROTECTION
UDC: 347.78
Section: LAW
Authors: Farit F. Gaysin ;
The article considers the problem of copyright protection. More and more attention is paid to intangible property. The main components of intangible property is intellectual property, which includes such protected objects as copyright and related right, trademarks, inventions, industrial samples, selection achievements. The article says that the Internet is harmful and, simultaneously, a useful phenomenon that is firmly established in our lives. Users of the global web are divided into two camps: some is looking for information, entertainment and services, others are providing this information, entertainment and services. As for the norms that would regulate all processes on the Internet – they simply do not exist today. As a result, infringement of copyright in the network is a regular phenomenon, it is very difficult to combat and, sometimes, simply useless. The article emphasizes that no state has laws on the regulation of legal relations in the Global Network, which provides very broad opportunities for users to uncontrolled reproduction, copying and further distribution of objects of the right. It is practically impossible to limit the Internet to the framework of the law: initially, no one simply had any thoughts about regulating activities in an independently developing network. Thousands of misdemeanors (slander, extremist activity, etc.) occur on the Internet today. As for copyright infringement in the network – they almost do not differ from violations outside the virtual life: plagiarism, illegal distribution of information protected by copyright and so on.
SOME ISSUES OF BANK CONTRACTS CONCLUSION WITH OTHER ENTITIES WHEN MAKING LOANS
UDC: 347.4
Section: LAW
Authors: Z. K. Kondratenko ;
Introduction: the author of the article considers topical issues of legal regulation of contractual relations of banks with other institutions when making loans. In particular, the paper raises the issue of insurance against the risk of loan default, by which the banks ensure the performance of their borrowers' obligations under this transaction. If the borrower refuses to insure, the bank may refuse the transaction, especially since it does not apply to public contracts. The author also investigates the question of interaction of banks and collectors providing debt collection services. The purpose of the study is to form a comprehensive scientific understanding of contractual relations of banks with other institutions when making loans, as well as to identify issues of legal regulation in this sphere. The materials and the methods of the study are general and special scientific research methods, including formal and logical methods (hypothesis, analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction). Historical, legal, technical, cross-sectoral, comparative-legal, systemic and other special methods of scientific cognition are also used in the study. Results: taking into account the importance of the contracts under consideration for credit relations, in most cases, the bank is the actual consumer of services provided by loan servicing entities. In this case, the establishment of certain requirements of banks to subject composition and quality of works and services can be regarded as legitimate, despite the fact that the credit institution itself is not party to particular contractual relationships. The disadvantage is that the legislator gave the regulation of the banks themselves (the situation is allowed only with the collectors). The problems of bank lending in Russia rested in the good will of the legislator, which would officially allow banks to insure loans that would address interest rate policy of commercial banks. Thus, both creditors and borrowers would be satisfied. Discussion and Conclusions: practical significance of the research is that the results can be used for the purposes of law-making for the improvement of standards of domestic civil legislation. Separate provisions may be interpreted by judicial practice in the consideration and resolution of cases. Research proposals can also find application in the preparation of curricula, manuals and teaching courses “Civil law”, “Banking”.

This article explores the point of view of scientists on the essence and legal belonging of the contract. Based on the analysis of identified problems, the author offers the ways of improvement of legislation in this area. The study of problems of state regulation of shared construction of apartment buildings and identify the factors affecting the change in economic and legal situation in terms of relations between citizens and construction companies, allows to solve the housing problem in the country. Therefore, the paper considers a set of problems, generated by the legislation in the part of regulating shared construction.

UDC: 346.3:69
Section: LAW
Authors: Oleg I. Lashmanov ;
The article is devoted to ways of ensuring the rights of the customer under construction contracts. Contractual relations in the sphere of construction are aimed at regulating the relationship between the participants in the investment and construction project. As a security for the performance of the contract, special measures are applied that encourage the parties involved to fulfill their obligations. These special measures are called ways of securing obligations and give rise to certain encumbrances for the debtor. Most of the methods of provisioning have an additional character with respect to the secured obligation. The current legislation provides for the enforcement of obliga-tions in such ways as forfeit, pledge, retention of the debtor's property, surety, bank guarantee, deposit and other methods provided for by law or by contract (clause 1 of article 329 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). This list of ways of providing is open, and the parties can apply their own relationship design, aimed at securing obliga-tions, suitable for a particular case. The security of obligations must be formalized in writing or in a contract, an additional agreement. The provision of the customer's rights under construction contracts has its own peculiarities, which are considered in this article. What ways of ensuring the rights of the customer are in construction contracts? What ways of ensuring the rights of the customer are in the shared construction contracts?
