Annotation: The problem of corruption, especially in our country, is one of the most widespread and discussed in public circles. The origins of its formation originate from the time of the formation of the Old Russian state and the operation of the institute of “feedings”. The article discusses the conditions and grounds for preventing the manifestation of corrupt behavior by civil servants, which may affect the quality and objectivity of their managerial decisions and the performance of official duties. Such concepts as personal interest and conflict of interests are considered separately, which directly affect the state of corruption in the behavior of civil servants. The article also highlights the problems of implementing measures to prevent corrupt behavior of state civil servants and develops measures to resolve them. This will allow us both to solve the problems of the manifestation of the action of corruption-causing factors in the activities of public civil servants, and to increase the effectiveness of the fight against manifestations of corruption offenses in official activities.

Annotation: The paper analyzes the features of the consideration of domain disputes under the UDRP procedure and the possibility of attributing such proceedings to arbitration. The purpose of the investigation is a brief overview of the experience of conducting proceedings both through UDRP and arbitration courts. The purpose of the investigation is to highlight the problems of the legal nature of the case under the UDRP procedure and arbitration proceedings. The methodological basis of the research was: the formal legal method, the comparative legal method, as well as general scientific methods of cognition. The conducted analysis allows us to conclude that dispute resolution using UDRP does not allow us to consider this mechanism as a kind of arbitration. However, it allows us to conclude that these alternative conflict resolution mechanisms have a number of common features. It is confirmed by the judicial practice cited in the work, especially in light of the fact that disputes over domain disputes will only expand, among other things, due to the constant increase in the volume of the economy in the field of information and communication technologies.

Annotation: The interest and relevance of this problem is due to the constant increase in the strengthening of the politicization of society, the broad involvement of the population in it. The focus here is on the political system, where the initial understanding, characteristics for it is its definition, concept. In this regard, the main purpose of the report is an attempt to develop such a definition, as well as a description of the constitutional regulation of issues of the political system. It shall be noted that it is very difficult to offer one universal such here. This is due to the versatility, the multidimensional nature of the political system of a particular country. In our opinion, the axes of its definition are based on politics, that it is defined by certain institutions. Two types are named: structural and regulatory. Hence, the definition of a political system is proposed – a set of diverse and at the same time dynamically connected structural and regulatory institutions through which power is exercised in the state. First of all, three main research methods were used: dogmatic, historical and comparative.
