The article analyzes the current state of the struggle against bribery. The official statistical data of the Judicial Department and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia on the state of corruption crime confirm the relevance of this issue.

Annotation: The article describes the problems of legal qualification of the actions of customers on the transfer of func- tions for the acceptance of goods supplied under a contract concluded in accordance with the legislation on the contract system in the field of procurement to meet state and municipal needs. The current situation is analyzed taking into account the current law enforcement practice. The author comes to the conclusion that there are objective prerequisites for making changes in the regulation of relations arising during procure- ment for public needs in order to streamline the practice of applying legislation on the contract system, in particular when accepting goods, works, and services. The relevance of the topic of the article is due to the need for a clear delineation of the powers and responsibilities of all participants in the execution of a state contract, both on the part of the customer and on the part of the contractor. Given the close attention of regulatory and supervisory authorities to the full and timely execution of government contracts concluded as a result of procurement procedures, it is extremely important for the customer and the contractor of the state contract to flawlessly accept goods, works or services and complete final settlements within the prescribed period.

Annotation: Currently, the importance of regulating relations related to the processing of personal data is beyond doubt: bills are considered at the legislative level, regulations are adopted, the Federal Service for Supervision of Communica- tions, Information Technology and Mass Media systematically provides thematic explanations, and personal data operators, in turn, take the necessary measures to protect them. At the same time, in practice, difficulties arise in ensuring the necessary level of security of personal data, interpretation and application of individual provisions of the legislation in the field of personal data. The article attempts to analyze the existing judicial practice on the application of individual provisions of the Federal Law “On Personal Data”. The author concludes that law enforcement agencies should be focused on developing approaches supported by reasoned conclusions regarding the consideration of cases on bringing personal data operators to responsibility for violating relevant provisions of legislation in the field of personal data. In the text of the article, the Russian Federation is abbreviated as RF.

Annotation: The article examines the subjective signs of an encroachment on the life of a law enforcement officer, since the number of such acts is currently increasing, and therefore this topic is very relevant. The subject of the study is a criminal law norm that provides for liability for an encroachment on the life of a law enforcement officer. The purpose of the study is to substantiate proposals for improving legislation based on an analysis of the characteristics of the subject and the subjective side of the crime provided for in Art. 317 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The content of the article discusses examples from law enforcement practice on the qualification of this crime, taking into account the subjective characteristics of the crime and in accordance with judicial interpretation. The following methods were used during the research: formal logical, comparative legal, as well as analysis, synthesis, and deduction. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that the authors made proposals to change the current criminal legislation of the Russian Federation in order to more accurately qualify the considered act. In the text of the article, the Russian Federation is abbreviated as RF.

Annotation: The aim of the study is to highlight the problems associated with the features of legal regulation of internet shops as information intermediaries. The article provides a comparative analysis and identifies the features and problems of legal regulation of Internet shops as information intermediaries. The issues of defining the essence of online shops and the need to expand the responsibility of operators of digital platforms for the products sup- plied through their intermediation are raised. New ways of electronic commerce have become firmly established in everyday life, changing the “behavior” of the seller of goods, the intermediary – the online store and the buyer. The rapid, “explosive” growth in the volume of trade of electronic platforms forces the legislator to take into account the social and economic importance of regulating these legal relations. The combination of new technologies for the sale, delivery and acceptance of goods with established norms of civil legislation and, in particular, the federal law “On Consumer Protection” dictates amendments to a number of legislative acts. The methodological basis of the research was formed up of general scientific methods of cognition, formal legal, comparative legal, legal and technical methods. It is concluded that it is necessary to revise the legal regulation of the sales contract, taking into account the features of e-commerce.
