The aim of this research was to develop a coherent theoretical proposal for counteracting drug trafficking in Russia and Germany. The methodological basis of the research is the dialectical and worldview approach. The latter determined the application of the general principles of cognition to study the current situation of drug abuse in Russia and Germany. Among the results stands out the fact that, previously tested forms of preventive work require careful restructuring and adjustment on the example of the implementation of the Strategy of the State Anti-Drug Policy of the Russian Federation until 2030, which implies the involvement of various actors in the organization of preventive work. In addition, the scientific results of the research include a critical analysis of the legislation on drug trafficking, trends in the drug situation and criminological study of persons involved in drug trafficking. In conclusion, the authors provided a legal formulation of certain areas of the fight against drug trafficking in the Russian Federation and Germany.

The COVID-19 pandemic is highly infectious, so it paralyzed the health systems of many countries causing a high mortality rate. Official data on COVID-19 deaths at many sites are questioned, and the figures are considered several times higher than official data. In this sense, the objective of the study was to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the natural movement of the population and, in addition, to evaluate the real mortality rate from COVID-19 in Russia from the construction of predictive mortality models. The study used data from the World Health Organization and the Statistical Service of the Federal State of Russia; se used linear and polynomial models to construct mortality models. The study revealed an underestimation of the official COVID-19 death rate by 2.4 to 6.8 times, depending on the data source. There was a sharp increase in mortality in Russia in 2020 among people over 50 years of age, and with the increase in age, mortality increased. The main reasons for the sharp increase in mortality were coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular diseases, and respiratory diseases, among others.

The aim of the research was to assess the specific levels of fixed capital investment per capita in all regions of Russia. The research was based on official 2019 statistics on the volume of fixed capital investments in 82 regions of Russia, as well as data on the population. In the research, the analysis of clusters associated with the unification of the objects studied in relatively homogeneous groups based on the study of the values of the compared indicators was applied. The normal distribution function was used in modelling to estimate the distribution of specific values for most regions. The following results and conclusions were obtained: it has been shown that the formation of five groups is optimal. In addition, it was shown that in 2019 nine regions were characterized by an extremely high level of investment due to the tasks of their strategic development to meet federal challenges. They also identified regions with relatively low values of specific investments in fixed assets. Everything indicates that specific investment values have a significant differentiation in several regions of Russia.

The fight against corruption is one of the priorities of the State policy of the Russian Federation. There are reasons to note that it is advisable to analyze the regional details of law enforcement activities to counter corruption-related crimes through the legal and organizational ways of implementing the state's law enforcement function. In the article the main objective is to analyze criminal law issues related to the fight against systemic corruption in Russia. In the early 90s of the twentieth century, the country replaced communist ideology with market ideology. To fulfill the objective of the study, the dialectical method of cognition of social and legal phenomena and concepts is used in their development and interdependence. He concludes that human values and moral principles have changed. There have been discussions about systemic corruption in Russia for decades. Endless conversations about corruption have become a convenient screen not only for incompetent officials. Popular with the people, the "disembarkation" of high-ranking officials creates a semblance of "movement," although no real action is taken.

The article considers the application of artificial intelligence systems in criminal proceedings. In jurisprudence, it is possible to use information technologies through the introduction of electronic document management and remote holding of court sessions. However, the question of automating decision making remains open, especially in the field of criminal procedure. The purpose of the present study was to identify the positive and negative features of artificial intelligence systems operating in the criminal practice of various countries and to consider the possibility of introducing such systems into the Russian criminal process, taking into account their compliance with their purpose and principles. The methodology included a systematic method of scientific cognition, a comparative legal method and a formal logical method, etc. During the research, the regulatory and legal framework of different countries was studied, which makes it possible to apply artificial intelligence systems in criminal proceedings, as well as to assess the work of foreign and Russian researchers in this field. It is concluded that the implementation of such principles as: the independence of judges and the adversarial nature of the parties in criminal proceedings are difficult in a legal framework dominated by artificial intelligence.

Through a documentary methodology, the article analyzes the main theoretical, practical, and problematic legal issues related to the functioning of the counter-majority mechanisms existing in the Russian local self-government system. The study proposes a set of legal measures aimed at improving the content of existing counter-majoritarian legal structures and seeks at the same time to introduce new ones to bring Russian municipal legislation into place to bring Russian municipal legislation into place. It is concluded that the thesis of the system of tyranny of the majority (majority democracy) at the local level cannot be recognized as a democratic and stable legal structure for the application of local self-government. Around the world, there is a fairly long process of replacing the concept of majority democracy with the concept of participatory democracy that involves the interaction of all population groups and the search for compromises between different social communities, through a balance of respect and recognition of memories of all kinds.

The aim of the research was to examine the influence of cooperative ideologies on the origin of credit societies in Russia. The emergence of a legal framework for consumer and, later, credit cooperation in Russia came in two ways. The first formal credit union was established in 1831 by Russian military officers banished to Siberia after the December 1825 revolt. Other cooperatives were organized in a Western model by enthusiasts from the wealthy strata. Later, the history of cooperation in consumer credit before the revolution in Russia can be divided into three stages: first, 1831-1860 (before the peasant reform); second, 1861-1904 (after the peasant reform); and third, 1905-1917 (adoption of government regulations on cooperation). To solve the objective set, the authors used the documentary method close to the historical method. It is concluded that analysis of the preconditions of the first cooperative organizations in Russia shows that there were some known forms of primitive cooperation or pre-cooperation over the centuries.

Bankruptcy is the legitimate procedure by which monetarily troubled firms, people, and sporadically governments settle their obligations. The insolvency procedure for firms assumes a focal job in financial aspects, since rivalry drives the most wasteful firms bankrupt, subsequently raising the normal proficiency level of those remaining. This study provides a comparative analysis of the most significant aspects of bankruptcy for individuals in Russia and the United States. The objective of the study was to determine the conditions involved in declaring a citizen insolvent in US and Russian law, for which we studied the ways of filing applications in these countries, as well as some methods of abuse by creditors that reduce the effectiveness of the bankruptcy institu-tion, and the ways to minimize them. Based on the results of the analysis, proposals were made to improve the legislation that governs people's bankruptcy. These proposals are based on the positive experience of the United States in the field of legal regulation of insolvency institutions.

The article discusses the legal regulation of the application of civil law methods of non-patrimonial personal rights in the protection of patent rights. Methodologically, the scientific method and the technique of documentary research close to legal hermeneutics were made. By way of conclusion, everything indicates that there is no mandatory administrative procedure for resolving authorship disputes in the patent dispute chamber in Russia. In addition, it was revealed that the provisions of Part 4 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation with respect to the Protection of Non-Property Personal Patent and Intellectual Rights were unsuccessfully established and created legal uncertainty, as only part of the above methods of civil and personal rights have worked in non-property litigation. As a recomjunction, it is proposed to extend the scope of Article 1407 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation "publication of the judicial decision on patent infringement" and related administrative procedures for cases of violation of non-patrimonial personal patent rights.

From a documentary perspective the article addresses issues such as the collapse of the Soviet Union, separatism in the USSR and the existence of similar destructive processes in modern Russia. Special attention is paid to the role of the media in the collapse of the USSR. The goal was to find out whether the collapse of the Soviet Union and the rise of New Russia were inevitable. Consequently, the additional objectives of the article are to identify the main reasons for the collapse of the USSR, to draw an analogy with the situation in modern Russia, to analyze propaganda techniques by examining the Moscow News newspaper, and to study and generalize the main problems of inter-ethnic dialogue in the Soviet and post-Soviet space. The relevance of the topic is justified by the lack of a unified view in the community of experts on the causes and consequences of the collapse of the USSR, as well as by the lack of a unified assessment of the period of Perestroika and the inevitability of the transition from socialism to capitalism in Russia. It is concluded that in the geopolitical phenomenon of the collapse of the USSR occupies a special role the national and international media dimension.
