SLOVAK SUBJECTS ON THE PAGES OF THE VOLGA REGION UNIVERSITY PERIODICALS
UDC: 94
Section: HISTORY
Authors: Olga S. Krylova;
The first mentions of Slovakia on the pages of Russian university periodicals refer to the beginning
of the XIX century. The foundation of university Slavic studies was laid in 1835, when Nicholas I approved
a new university charter, on the basis of which the departments of Slavic dialects and literatures were opened
in four Russian universities. Since that time, universities have become centers of Slavic studies. After 1917,
Slavic studies were declared a bourgeois science, a struggle against it began as against the ideology of Panslavism,
which supported the reactionary policy of tsarism. Renewed attention to Slavic studies dates back to the Second World War.The author considers the scientific school for the study of the history of Slovakia, established
and continue their tradition at three universities of the Volga region − Kazan (Volga) Federal University, Saratov
State University, and Mari State University. Three Volga region universities, preserving the traditions of Russian
Slavic studies, contribute to the development of Slovak studies, publishing on the pages of their periodicals
the results of scientific research of Russian and foreign scientists. The information about the most prominent
representatives of these scientific schools and their contribution to the domestic Slovak studies is given. The article
provides information about the scientific journal of the Mari State University “West – East”, the priority of
which is Slavistics, as well as inter-Slavic contacts. With all the diversity of Slavic themes, special attention is
paid to the history and culture of Slovakia on the pages of the “West – East” year-book. The international Editorial
Board of the yearbook includes Slovak scholars, the journal regularly publishes articles on the history of
Slovakia and the history of Russian-Slovak scientific and cultural contacts.
PRAYER VS CURSE: SPEECH ACTS IN THE STRUCTURE OF RELIGIOUS PRACTICES OF ANCIENT GREEK SOCIETY
UDC: 94
Section: HISTORY
Authors: Yuliya S. Obidina;
The article deals with the problem of ancient Greek religious verbal practices such as curses, supplications and
prayers in the main literary genres that form the ideological discourse of the Greek polis – the epic and tragedy.
The purpose of the article is to determine the social space of the religious in ancient Greece both in vertical and
horizontal projection in the absence of a clear distinction between the sacred and the profane. The relevance of
the article is connected with the extreme insufficiency in the modern domestic research field of works considering
the religious space of the social in relation to archaic and traditional beliefs. It is noted that the study of the
ancient Greek religion cannot be moved beyond the polis religion and civil cult, and the combination of actions
and words traces a person’s identity in the religious sphere, since this corresponds to two central acts of the
Greek cult: the act of sacrifice and the word of prayer. If sacrifices reflect exploits on the battlefield, in a culture
where political and religious spheres were closely related, the similar role was played by the words of prayer,
since prayer was a political as well as a religious act manifested publicly. A special category of effective utterances
that played an important role in religious discourse, along with prayers and curses, is also considered.
It emphasizes the difference between prayer that connects the human community with the divine and the curse
that directly affects reality. It is concluded that the distinction between prayer and curse is mediated not by religious
factors, but by the social structure of ancient Greek society.
ANATOLY IVANOVICH KONDAKOV − “MAKARENKO FROM VYATKA”
UDC: 37(09)(470.342)
Section: HISTORY
Authors: Vladimir B. Pomelov;
The article describes in detail the facts of the biography and comprehensively examines the multifaceted pedagogical,
administrative, scientific and creative activity of one of the most significant domestic teachers of the
first half of the XX century, a native of Yaransk, Vyatka province, Anatoly Ivanovich Kondakov (1894–1979),
who left a bright trace in the domestic education. After graduating from the Kukar Teachers’ Seminary, Kondakov
worked as a rural teacher. The article tells about A. I. Kondakov’s studies at the famous “Tikhomirov's
courses” in Moscow. Then, in 1917, among the first fifteen graduates Kondakov graduated from the Vyatka
Teachers’ Institute. In 1918, he was one of the first in the country to organize a school-commune and a school
town in the village of Znamenka of Yaransk district of Vyatka province (now the territory of the Republic
of Mari El). The article gives a detailed description of the educational activities organized by the teaching staff.
A. I. Kondakov tells about his work in “Znamenka” in the book «School-commune». The article reveals the activities
of A. I. Kondakov in Vyatka Provincial Department of Public Education (PDPE), and afterwards, in People's
Commissariat of Education of the RSFSR under the leadership of A. V. Lunacharsky and N. K. Krupskaya.
He also worked in the experimental station of the People's Commissariat, headed by S. T. Shatsky. In the Moscow
period of work he was closely associated with B. P. Esipov, I. T. Ogorodnikov, N. A. Zarovnyadny, O. L. Bem,
and other prominent teachers of the time. Much attention is paid to A. I. Kondakov’s work on the theme of life
and work of I. N. Ulyanov and his family. The result of many years of work was the defense of his Candidate of sciences thesis and the publication of two books – “Director of public schools I. N. Ulyanov” and “School
years of Volodya Ulyanov”. Outstanding domestic scientist-teacher Nikolay Vladimirovich Chekhov was his
thesis supervisor. Kondakov was one of the organizers of the Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of the RSFSR
in 1943, he was the first Head of the Department of Information.
PRIVATE ALIMENTARY FOUNDATIONS IN ROMAN ITALY (1ST–3RD CENTURY A. D.)
UDC: 94(37)
Section: HISTORY
Authors: Tomáš Klokner;
The paper is based on epigraphic sources (inscriptions) and is devoted to the research of private alimentary foundations
active in Roman Italy in the first three centuries A. D. These were founded on the initiative of wealthy
members of the local aristocracy and can be considered an expression of their private generosity (munificentia
privata) towards the population. Their function rested on the regular distribution of rations used for the subsistence
(alimenta) of Roman children. The financial means for distributing the rations were obtained from the interests
from the loans offered to landowners. The aim of the article is to collect, analyse and interpret the Latin inscriptions
which offer not only a witness to alimentary rations from private sources, but at the same time, bring
also important insights into various aspects of the existence of the particular foundations (the persona of the
founder, number and age of supported children, amount and intensity of the rations, etc.).
IMPERFECTION OF THE LAW OR LAW ENFORCEMENT PRACTICE?
UDC: 343.31
Section: LAW
Authors: Natalia V. Ivantsova;
The article is devoted to the bill aimed at the novelization of part 1 of article 282 of the Criminal Code on incitement
of hatred or enmity, as well as humiliation of human dignity. The criminal law norm set out in article
282 of the Criminal Code is included in the group of crimes against the foundations of the constitutional system and state security. By Federal Law of December 8, 2003 no. 162-FZ “On amendments and additions to the Criminal
Code of the Russian Federation” this article 282 of the Criminal Code was renamed as follows: “Incitement
of hatred or enmity, as well as humiliation of human dignity.” In our opinion, this is the case when the legislator
considered that the foundations of the constitutional system can be significantly damaged by means of an attack,
including offence to human dignity, and therefore emphasized in the title of the crime human dignity as a sign
of one of the objects of criminal assault. The opinion is expressed that this crime is classified by the legislator as an
infringement on the foundations of the constitutional system and the security of the state on the grounds that in accordance
with the article 3 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation the bearer of sovereignty and the only source of
power is the multinational people of Russia. Therefore, this crime encroaches on the fundamental principle of building
the political system of the Russian Federation enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The author
identifies among the objects of criminal offence such an integral part of the foundations of the constitutional system
of Russia as the implementation of policy aimed at creating conditions ensuring a decent life and free development
of any person, regardless of gender, race, nationality, language, origin, attitude to religion, as well as belonging
to any social group. The article draws attention to the fact that the public danger of this crime lies in the nature
of the committed actions, in particular, in the public dissemination of such ideas and views that undermine confidence
of persons of a certain sex, race, nationality, language, origin, attitude to religion, as well as the belonging of persons
to a certain social group, cause hostility to them. The author adheres to the position that the changes in this article
are premature and have no criminological justification. It is necessary to improve the practice of application of this
provision, paying more attention to hosted on the Internet reposts of Internet users.
THE ARGUMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION IN JURIDICAL ARGUMENTS FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OF MAN AND CITIZEN IN THE REALIZATION OF JUSTICE
UDC: 342
Section: LAW
Authors: Konstantin V. Kargin;
The article is devoted to the analysis of juridical arguments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation. They
play an important role in the protection of the rights and freedoms of man and citizen in the realization of justice.
The justification of court decisions is carried out on the basis of both legal and factual juridical arguments. Juridical
arguments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation are formulated by reference to the corresponding
juridical norms of the Basic law. In this regard, they belong to the group of juridical arguments. The purpose
of the study is to analyze the use of arguments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in court decisions.
To achieve this goal, the definition of a juridical argument was formulated, the classification of juridical arguments
on the juridical basis and the legal base of juridical argumentation were considered. Further analysis
of certain judicial acts revealed the degree of influence of arguments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation
on the adoption of judicial decisions. The methodological basis of the research was logical, systemic,
comparative legal, normative and other methods of cognition. The article concludes that it is necessary to use
arguments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in all cases when the legal reasoning of the court decision
is in systemic connection with the provisions of the Basic law.
LEGAL BASIS OF PUBLIC CONTROL: DIFFICULT ISSUES
UDC: 342.55
Section: LAW
Authors: Tatiana N. Mikheeva; Elena I. Ivanova;
The purpose of the study is a critical analysis and understanding of the public control institution consolidation in
the legal field. Being a comparatively new social phenomenon, it has no direct analogs of cosolidation in foreign
legal acts. The authors were convinced of this by studying international acts aimed at protecting human rights
and fundamental freedoms, which is one of the tasks of the national legislation on public control. While forming
the legal basis, the Russian legislator ignored particular aspects, what significantly constricts the scope of public
control activity. In this connection, the task of formulating the most relevant changes and amendments to the
legislation on public control was set. As a result of the study, it was revealed that the sources regulating relations
on public control did not include the Constitution of the Russian Federation, generally accepted principles,
norms of international law, international treaties of the Russian Federation. The latter are part of the Russian
legal system. There are also no federal constitutional laws in this series, which reduces the authority of public
control as a form of social control. The whole political sphere in the state turned out to be excluded – public control
over the elections, which the legislator ordered only in mid-2018. Legal gaps were evaluated in the study,
they became the basis for the proposals developed by the authors to improve the current legislation in the field of
public control, synchronization of the basic law with other normative legal acts affecting the problems of public
control. The formulated conclusions are also of a practical nature, since they significantly expand the legal
framework for the implementation of a new public institution and raise its importance in a democratic state.
SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT PUBLIC CONTROL SUBJECTS
UDC: 342.55
Section: LAW
Authors: Denis S. Mikheev;
The purpose of the study is understanding, analysis and critical appraisal of the norms on public control subjects
regulated by the Federal Law “On the Basics of Public Control”. This legal institution, although it received legal
regulation, however, its not very active introduction into state and public life is observed. There is a certain passivity
of citizens in the execution of public control. Non-profit organizations would like to become full participants
of control measures, but the law does not ensure their right to be the organizers of most forms of public
control. The statement of these problems indicates the relevance of the study. So, the goals of the study include
the objective analysis of the current legislation aiming at identifying problems, which hinder law enforcement
practice; the development of a scientific image of their decision; the formulation of the necessary changes in legislative
rules regulating public control. As a result of the study, the uncertainty in a number of articles of the law
and its vague wording regarding two categories of public control participants – non-governmental organizations and
citizens were found. In fact, without fixing them in a specialized article naming the subjects of public control, the legislator
assigns to them the certain legal powers in this respect. In order to achieve the settled goals a set of cognition
methods was used. In particular, the identification of legislative gaps was carried out through formal legal and
system-structural methods.A scientific novelty lies in the development of a particular scientific concept, which would
consider the previously mentioned participants as the legalized public control entities. The practical significance of the
proposals and conclusions made lies in a significant expansion of public control entities, intended to allow a huge
number of public organizations and willing citizens to join public control entities on legal grounds.
STRATEGIC PLANNING ACTS OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND MONITORING RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE UN COMMITTEE ON ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL RIGHTS
UDC: 341.231.145
Section: LAW
Authors: Elena A. Nikiforova;
The article is devoted to the study of the formation of a complex of strategic planning acts of human rights. The point
of view on the nature of such acts as sources of constitutional law is given, with the justification of the need to determine
the scope of regulation and protection of human rights as a special area, which is directly or indirectly the object
of strategic planning. The author comes to the conclusion about some objective unsystematic nature of strategic
planning documents, caused by the diversity of their types, fixed by the law, and possible subjects of their development
and adoption. The author analyzes the prerequisites for the adoption and conditionality of the content of
such documents, first of all, by the need to support the legislative provision of human rights at the level of international
standards, so it is noted that the creation of a National Action Plan in favor of human rights is initiated
by both Russian institutions of civil society and international bodies monitoring human rights. According to
the author, the most acceptable form of strategic planning act of human rights is the form of doctrine or concept,
but the legislation does not specifically establish the subject area of its normative impact, although the practice of
adopting such acts generally meets this pattern. The issues of strategic planning and its effectiveness interconnection
reflected in the results of law enforcement monitoring are discussed. It is proposed to consolidate the monitoring of the implementation of strategic planning acts in the sphere of human rights as a separate section of law
enforcement monitoring reports. It is noted that the inter-state bodies for the protection of human rights also
make a proposal to establish a system for monitoring the application of acts of international law by Russian courts
in connection with the noted inactivity of the courts on the application of fundamental human rights acts directly.

The purpose of the research is to create a holistic scientific understanding of the concept’s content and
features of such a constitutional and legal institution as election. Materials and methods. Research is based
on the study of the electoral legislation of the Russian Federation, foreign countries and the analysis of legal
literature. Research methods are general scientific and private scientific methods. Of the special methods,

and legal assessment of the main features of the concept of “elections” was given. The reason for the ambiguity
in the understanding of the legal definition under consideration was investigated. Two main approaches to
the formulation of the concept of this constitutional and legal institution were identified. The legal definition
of the term “elections” in the Russian legislation was studied. A comparison with the legislation of foreign
countries was made. Conclusion. Two main approaches to the definition of the constitutional and legal institution
of elections were identified and analyzed. The conclusion about the advantages and disadvantages of
these approaches was made.
PROBLEMS OF THE RATIO OF PROHIBITION OF CERTAIN ACTIONS WITH OTHER MEASURES OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE RESTRAINT
UDC: 343.125
Section: LAW
Authors: Svetlana A. Yakovleva; Anastasiya S. Kutyanina;
In 2018, as an alternative to detention, a measure of restraint in the form of prohibition of certain actions was
introduced. This work analyzes provision of Article 105.1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian
Federation, the authors come to a conclusion that the measure of restraint in the form of prohibition of certain
actions was allocated from house arrest. So, the bans listed in Paragraph 1, 3–5 of Part 6 of Article 105.1 of the
Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation previously characterized house arrest. Analyzing practice,
authors note that the officials conducting the investigation of criminal case, as well as the courts, do not distinguish
between the prohibition of certain actions and house arrest, thus, duplicating the above measures. It is offered
to exclude the prohibition of certain actions from the system of measures of restraint, the prohibitions provided
by Paragraphs 2–6 of Part 6 of Article 105.1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation to attribute
to the characteristic of each concrete measure of restraint. At the same time these prohibitions will be additional
duties which officials, investigating a criminal case are entitled to assign to the suspect, accused, defendant, convicted,
when electing any measure of restraint which is not connected with detention, by court decision. It is also
proposed to state a part of the prohibitions in a different edition for the purpose of their effective application, and
to provide an open list of prohibitions taking into account the type, nature of the crime, the way of committing
the crime and the person who committed it. For a measure of restraint in the form of supervision for the minor
suspect or the defendant to conclude a special type of prohibition, taking into account the age of the suspect,
the defendant. Changes are necessary for ensuring appropriate behavior of the suspect, the defendant, as well
as the safety of the victim, the witness and other participants of criminal proceedings.
