Objective: to determine the degree of influence of the party system on the powers separation by using analysis of implementation of authorizing parliamentary control in the countries with different governmental forms (presidential, mixed, parliamentary republic, parliamentary monarchy). Methods: historical, comparative, formal-legal and statistical methods. Results: Basing on the study of legal and factual sides of parliamentary control in the Federal Republic of Germany (parliamentary republic), the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (parliamentary monarchy), the Republic of Italy (parliamentary republic), the United States (presidential republic), Republic of Korea (presidential republic), Lithuania (mixed republic), the author proves the existence of large distortion in the power separation in practice. Scientific novelty: It is revealed that mechanisms of interaction between parliaments and governments in the so-called leading democracies differ from those provided for in their Constitutions. In particular, though there are constitutional norms of the government responsibility in parliamentary republics, monarchies, and mixed republics, as well as the impeachment of the President in presidential republics, these institutions are actually never applied in practice. Primarily, this is due to the fact that the ruling parties, especially in parliamentary countries with a stable party system, actually belong to both legislative and executive powers, which significantly distorts the legally enshrined separation of powers (for example, in the UK, Germany). In the countries with underdeveloped or unstable party system (Republic of Korea, Lithuania), on the contrary, the probability of the authorizing parliamentary control increases, especially if the President loses the support of the parliamentary majority. Practical value: The ability to optimize public administration in Russia.

Objective: to determine whether anti-corruption expertise is an independent kind of expertise of normative legal acts or belongs to some type of expertise of normative legal acts. On the basis of the conducted analysis, to formulate a definition of anti-corruption expertise. Methods: comparative-legal method of research. Results: On the basis of the conducted analysis of the similar and different features of criminological, legal and anti-corruption expertise, the anti-corruption expertise is defined, according to which anti-corruption expertise is a form of criminological examination which uses the methods of legal expertise. Scientific novelty: In the article for the first time the legal, anti-corruption and criminological expertise is systematically analyzed as the expertise of normative legal acts according to the following criteria: subject, object, method, purpose, provisions for the mandatory examination, recording of results. It was found that the specification of expertise regulations should be carried out according to the criterion "the purpose of expertise”. The study allowed to identify the features of criminological and legal expertise in anti-corruption expertise of normative legal acts.

Objective: basing on comprehensive legal and linguistic techniques, to analyze the questionnaires in cases of criminal communities, for compliance to part 8 of Article 339 of the Russian Criminal-Procedural Code, referring to comprehensibility of the questions for the jurors. Methods: the study was conducted using the combined method, which included the formal-legal and legal-technical methods, traditional legal science, and the theory of speech acts and special linguistic methodology "logical analysis of the language". Results: The analysis of the questionnaires and judicial acts of the Supreme Court showed that, despite frequent complaints, arguments about the incomprehensibility and bulkiness of the analyzed questionnaires, they are in most cases recognized as unreasonable. This is due to the extensive list of the questionnaires and complexity of the issues, due to the volume of the sustained charges and is not in itself an evidence of the violation of part 8 of Article339 of the Criminal-Procedural Code. Scientific novelty: A questionnaire, being a specific legal document, oriented on a citizen (juror) and compiled taking into account the division of the professional judge and jury’s competences, is of the common language nature. The study showed that legal assessment is most effective with professional (not amateur) combination of research methods from different scientific fields - law and linguistics. Practical value: Answering the arguments of the complaints about the incomprehensibility and volume of cases studied by the jury, judges of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation estimate of questionnaires from the perspective of their own linguistic competence, i.e., the amateur, from the point of view of linguists, level and almost always intuitively. The authors' recommendations can help the presiding judge, who poses the questions to the jury, and will allow superior judges to give a more professional and well-reasoned legal and linguistic evaluation of the analyzed questionnaires. The convenience of our findings lies in the fact that they are succinctly formulated in the form of additions to the decree of the Russian Federation Supreme Court Plenum no. 23 of November 22, 2005 "On application by courts of the norms of the Criminal Procedural Code of the Russian Federation, regulatory legal proceedings with the participation of jurors" (about the interpretation and application of part 8 of Article 339 of the Criminal Procedural Code of the Russian Federation).

Objective: to examine measures of administrative coercion applied to the media; to justify the need for changes to Articles 4 and 16 of the Law on mass media. Methods: the method of structural analysis, comparative-legal and formal legal methods. Results: The grounds for issuing warnings to mass media editorial offices are researched; the uneven category of abuse of freedom of mass information is reviewed; the legal nature of a written warning to the mass media editorial offices is analyzed; bases of the termination of the media are listed; impropriety of the terms of Articles 4 and 16 of the Law on mass media is revealed. Scientific novelty: The author analyzes the legal nature of a written warning to the mass media editorial offices on the fact of abuse of mass media freedom; it is proved that this measure is administrative-preclusive (however, it is not considered by officials as the measure of administrative punishment). It is revealed that for the second abuse of mass information freedom media shall be subject to termination in contradiction with the current version of Article 16. In contradiction with the generally accepted norms, a more severe measure is imposed, in particular, when the editorial office has met the requirements set out in the warning. Practical value: The study can contribute to streamlining the regulation of administrative coercive measures applicable to the mass media editorial offices, both judicial and extrajudicial. In addition, certain provisions may be useful in further scientific research.
