This article raises the problem of «type of legal understanding» — one of the topical themes of the theory of law. Trends in the development of legal studies at the present stage and approaches to the problem of legal understanding are under discussion. The concept of «integrative jurisprudence» is considered. Integrative approaches to law in the modern Russian theory of law are analyzed. The types of legal understanding formed on the basis of integrative concepts are noted. The characteristic features of the communicative approach of A. V. Poljakov and the hermeneutics concept are revealed of A.I. Ovchinnikov and I.A. Chestnov»s dialogical theory.

the problems of the constitutional status of labor collectives are again becoming relevant in modern conditions, so as not to lose and not to be again in difficult conditions, as happened as a result of the events of 1993. It is important for the labor collectives of enterprises, institutions and organizations of the country to take into account the experience gained and to achieve through their successful labor activities the implementation of the most important state decisions in the social, political and economic field. The article attempts to create such a legal mechanism that would encourage labor collectives to actively engage in highly productive work and would interest them in the final results of their work. These questions require theoretical and practical reflection. The article distinguishes three sections: 1) the role of the organization of labor in improving the effectiveness of fundamental problems, fixed at the level of constitutions, laws and other legal acts; 2) attempts to achieve these results through «free labor»; 3) the search for new ways to solve the country»s challenges of overcoming the crisis. Labor groups, the article emphasizes, can successfully solve these problems because their constitutional and legal status is directly related to the political system of society.

The specificity of the Russian legal system is that legislation has a key importance in it. Perhaps there is no such national legal system in which legislation would play such a role as it has in Russian law. However, in its structure, negative tendencies are more and more marked: (1) a reduction in the coherence of various sectors and levels of legislation; (2) redundancy of legislative acts regulating the same social relations; (3) the backlog of legislation from the level of development of social relations. These tendencies have an objective reason — the need for short terms to form legislation, not only corresponding to the level of socio-economic development of Russia, but also providing a transition from the command-administrative system to a market economy. These circumstances can be disclosed through such a category as legal defects, which are a form of expression of imperfection of law, and their consequence is legal uncertainty. For the lawyer, the most interesting are the content defects of the legislation — collisions and gaps.

Euthanasia continues to be an acute ethical and legal problem. In this article, the author analyzes the Australian experience in regulating euthanasia and the history of the development of relevant legislation. Thus, it is noted that, due to the peculiarities of the federal structure of the Australian Commonwealth, the Australian states and territories have different constitutional legal status: states are recognized as sovereign entities and have an independent from the Commonwealth right to adopt their own legislation, while the Australian territories have neither such a history nor such rights, and their legislative powers are regarded as delegated to them by the federal parliament. This is due to the fact that the first act on the legalization of euthanasia, adopted in 1995 in Northern Territory, was then repealed by the federal parliament. Subsequently, in 2017, the state of Victoria adopted its own law, which entered into force in 2019. Thus, now in Australia euthanasia is legalized in only one state — the state of Victoria.
