Compliance with spiritual and moral values is of particular importance for judges and officials of criminal justice bodies engaged in the fight against the most dangerous evil and injustice.

The relevance of the theme is seen in the fact that in the post-Soviet period there was a blurring of the criteria for scientific reconstruction and assessment of the problems of revolution and counter-revolution in Russia. The purpose of the work is to provoke a critical reflection on the methodological and ideological turn that has taken place. According to the author, the reverse side of the restoration of the conservative and right-wing liberal historical-legal and theoretical-legal discourse was the unreasonable rejection of the principles of dialectical thinking in the works of post-Soviet authors and, as a result, the reideologization of the historical-legal sphere of academic knowledge. The idea is substantiated that the modern scientific optics of understanding the problems of revolution and counter-revolution in Russia should include not only a specific understanding of the essence of the pre-revolutionary system (dependent peripheral capitalism), but also an assessment of the confrontation between the revolutionary movement and the tsarist regime from the point of view of a concretely understood social ideal. The first steps of this ideal in historical practice are reflected in the images of high culture.

One of the features of the modern model of interaction between legal systems is the competition between national jurisdictions. The states use different methods to improve the efficiency of their courts in order to make their jurisdictions more attractive. The competition between jurisdictions is actively influenced by political processes. A striking example of the impact of politics on jurisdictional issues is Brexit. This article aims to consider the topical issues caused by the UK's exit from the single legal space of the EU in terms of the functioning of the civil justice system, the consequences of these processes for the mechanisms of choice of jurisdiction.

The materials used include UK and European legal literature, the reports of the Council of the European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice and expert opinions of Russian and European lawyers. The conclusions include practical recommendations on how to improve the competitiveness of Russia’s jurisdiction and protect Russia's interests in the legal sphere.

The article examines the criminal law issues of protecting human life and health as an integral part of the history of criminal law, coupled with theoretical and historical legal sciences. The authors consider the types and content of illegal acts, expressed in causing harm to human life and health, criminalized in the customary law of the Don Cossacks. The use of customs to regulate criminal law relations is a universal practice for early feudal states, such as Ancient Russia, as well as regional - for the Russian Empire. As a result, the authors conclude that historical and legal methodology is widely used in the formation of modern criminal law and that legal reception from foreign legislation is of secondary importance. At the same time, attention is drawn to the fact that the history of criminal law is currently considered an integral part of the criminal law sciences.

The article is devoted to the institution of repeated crimes, traditional for Russian criminal law, effective, but excluded at one time from the criminal law. For a certain time, criminal repetition existed only as a scientific category. In the General part of the Criminal law, only certain signs of repetition are mentioned, but there is no definition of it, as well as legal regulation. The need to strengthen counteraction by criminal legal means to certain types of crimes contributed to the beginning of the process of returning norms with a sign of repetition to a Special part of the Criminal Code of Russia. The tendency to expand and increase the number of such norms in the future will require the development of appropriate general provisions. The causal conditionality of the full-fledged return of the institution of repetition to the criminal law is revealed, a possible solution to this issue is proposed.

The fight against economic and corruption crimes committed in the financial and credit sphere, as well as crimes related to the legalization of proceeds from crime, is a systemic problem that the state and society must solve together.

At the same time, due to the relatively short period of existence in the criminal law of the Russian Federation of the elements of crimes related to the legalization (laundering) of criminal proceeds, repeated significant changes in the relevant legal norms, as well as the high latency of these crimes, extensive law enforcement practice of preliminary investigation of relevant criminal cases has not yet been developed. In this regard, it is necessary to analyze and generalize typical ways of committing crimes of this category, as well as to look for and use in practice new ways to resolve problematic issues. The article will help practitioners in the investigation of criminal cases of this category.

With the publication of Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of September 21, 2022 N 647 «On the announcement of partial mobilization in the Russian Federation», a range of practical issues arose related to the determination of jurisdiction and arbitrability of disputes involving mobilized persons.
