The most important direction for improving environmental protection is environmental education. Amendments to the Constitution of Russian Federation (2020) provide for the creation of conditions for the development of a system of environmental education of citizens, the upbringing of environmental culture, the formation of a responsible attitude towards animals in society. The solution of these tasks can be effectively carried out through museum activities. The legal foundations of education in the field of environmental protection areestablished in the federal laws «On Education in the Russian Federation», «On Environmental Protection», «On Specially Protected Natural Areas», in the Fundamentals of the Legislation of the Russian Federation on Culture. Environmental education is the subject of regulatory legal acts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
A large role in environmental education belongs to local history, paleontological, zoological, art museums. State Russian Museum, Hermitage, Tretyakov Gallery, Museum of Fine Arts named after A.S. Pushkin have accumulated considerable experience in working with children, youth, and other generations. The ecologization of educational activities also applies to institutions far from nature protection — for example, a museum of decorative and applied art, a toy that turns into an educational institution. The objectives of environmental education through cultural, museum activities are stipulated in the legislation of foreign states. The modernization of environmental education, including through museums, is becoming a promising and, ultimately, a decisive form of enhancing environmental protection in the future.
The activities of the museums considered in the article are of a complex nature, with an organic relationship of scientific, educational and environmental education activities. The content of the available programs should be designed for an audience of different ages, taking into account their current interests, inclinations, needs, perception characteristics, and the specifics of social interaction. A distinctive feature, the most characteristic feature of educational activity in a modern museum, should be considered professional mobility, responsiveness to the demands of a modern audience through excursions, programs, and forms of their broadcast. The unique experience of leading museums and their collections shows the possibility and necessity of creating projects with a focus on a wide range of environmental goals.

(Review of the scientific-practical guide: Eremina O.Yu., Volkova N.S., Putilo N.V. The effectiveness of public administration in the social sphere: the genesis of legal regulation / ex. ed. O. Yu. Eremina. — M.: Prospekt, 2022 [17]).
The review highlights the main results of the research carried out by the authors of the scientific-practical guide, which is devoted to topical problems of the formation and development of the institution for assessing the effectiveness of public authorities on the basis of legal doctrine, studying foreign experience in measuring the effectiveness of government bodies, empirical analysis of domestic regulatory legal acts.
The special significance of this kind of research at the stage of fundamental transformation of the social sphere in the Russian Federation is noted.

Humanization of the relationship between human society and the animal world sets the fundamental tasks of reassessing values for domestic jurisprudence. In search of the methodological foundations for changing the paradigm of public consciousness, it is customary to refer to the similar experience of the states of the Western world, in particular the Anglo-American one.
Without belittling the merits and positive examples of foreign experience, it is worth stating the fact that in pre-revolutionary Russia, domestic jurists were actively working on this most complicated problem.
In the second half of the XIX century in our country, the Society for the Protection of Animals began to function. His experience in the struggle for the natural rights of animals provides a unique example of the domestic humanization of the relationship between human society and the animal world. The activities of the Russian Society for the Protection of Animals were thorny, met with incomprehension and ridicule of unenlightened fellow citizens and biased officials.
Nevertheless, the change in the social background of attitudes towards animals should be considered the main achievement of the activities of the Society for the Protection of Animals in pre-revolutionary Russia. Chronologically, the period of activity of this organization is very short. But even in such a short time, the members of the Society for the Protection of Animals managed to do a huge layer of work in various directions — from processing the activities of slaughterhouses to holding public readings. Throughout the entire period of fruitful work, the Society for the Protection of Animals remained by its nature a «philanthropic» organization, not pursuing any material goals or profit. Such unrepentant ideals for modern jurists and humanists today serve as an excellent example, including the experience of serving the cause of changing relationships with our smaller brothers.

The principle of sports autonomy is one of the most important regulators of relations in the field of physical culture and sports and characterizes the so-called European model of sports management. To one degree or another, this principle is reflected both in the documents of the Council of Europe and the European Union. In addition, it influences national legislation and forms a universal scheme of relations between state and public sports authorities.

the article is devoted to the theory and practice of the application of the bill of lading in the implementation of sea and multimodal transportation of goods.
The judicial practice in this category of cases was analyzed and gaps in the legal regulation of the studied group of public relations were identified.

In article the author through the identification of the original unity, interconnectedness and interaction of the proper poetry, mathematical science, fundamental and practical jurisprudence in the cause of essentialization, conceptualization, awareness, understanding, free and responsible improvement, ornamentation, rationalization, organization and ordering of the personal and social life of every reasonable person and nation, clearly shows the need for perspective development of poetic sense of justice, legal consciousness, as well as mathematical jurisprudence, in which the notions of the «Spirit», «Image», «Imagination», «System» and «Number» (or the «Truth», «Beauty», «Taste», «Order», «Measure») in a certain sequence and order do not oppose each other at all, but mutually complement each other and act in its full measure.
These necessary, scientifically grounded and systematized spiritual, moral-ethical, aesthetic, scientific and state-legal concepts might significantly help poets, representatives of the arts, natural and humanitarian sciences, statesmen and state builders to more fully and correctly realize, learn, fathom and creatively reproduce in their everyday works all the truly good and beautiful, definite and proportionate, legal and just, including making lawful and expedient statutes, sub-laws, stable and constantly self-developing system of legislation, legal proceedings, proper public order, successful and perspective state and legal construction.
The author reasonably assumes that lack of true, correct, complete and clear idea of the above initially interconnected meta-legal and legal concepts and notions (particularly, of high poetic image and beautiful taste, the good and eternal idea of law and the spiritual sense of God-given human language, lawfulness, lawful State and legislation, judicial proceedings and justice administration, personal freedom and responsibility, and the definition of the kinds and sizes of administrative penalties and criminal penalties, sustainable and evolving national-state, and the world law and order, mathematical imagination of the infinity, formula and number) of the persons who are too far from the spiritual, aesthetic and computational education (including state legislators, rulers and government officials, judges, law enforcement agents, and other persons), more often than other well educated (that is, spiritually enlightened, personally and professionally (accomplished in the proper Image of God the Creator), are usually very prone and capable of committing all sorts of senseless and frivolous actions, annoying stupidity and misunderstandings, habitual and harmful errors and delusions, unlawful, inexpedient and illegal acts, as well as other minor offenses and socially dangerous serious crimes.
The main reasons for the adoption of unlawful, illegal, inappropriate and even criminogenic statutes, sub-laws, regulations, administrative and judicial decisions, as well as the majority of legal offenses, and crimes committed in society, according to the author, lie in spiritual and legal ignorance, ungodly, untrue, incorrect and flawed worldview of international and national spiritually and morally spoiled (corrupt) legislators, rulers, officials, judges, law enforcement agents, as well as the financially nurtured and administratively manipulated legal scholars, and ordinary citizens who for the reasons of their lazy minds and bad habits, follow their wrongful and harmful personal example.
Therefore, the necessity of true and good knowledge about all these above-mentioned poetical, mathematical, and fundamental public law concepts and notions on the «measure» in the system of Lawmetry or Meterology of law, of the universal theory and philosophy of the proper idea of law, based on the spiritual, faith-teaching and doctrinal method of the proper legal consciousness and sense of justice (by the way, the definitions of all of these state-legal notions are given in the appropriate references to my already published and copyrighted works), have the most important value, and play a primary, substantial, irreplaceable personality-transforming, socially-preventive, educational-preventive, and stimulating role also in criminological and state-building senses.

The article analyzes medieval approaches to legal education in the Byzantine Empire and the countries of feudal Europe on the basis of the comparative legal method of cognition. The author pays special attention to the comparative study of the experience of training legal personnel in the Constantinople and Beirut schools of Law, as well as at the law faculties of the Universities of Bologna and Paris. Based on the studied material, it is concluded that in Byzantium there was a bureaucratic model of training lawyers for public service, and in Europe, on the contrary, the spirit of self-governing university corporations formed academic freedoms. In addition, in order to improve the level of teaching of historical and legal disciplines, the article suggests that, along with Roman law, modern Russian students studying in legal specialties and areas of the basics of canon law should be taught.

The article is devoted to the review of the historical and legal foundations of the Northern European sub-regional integration, the analysis of the current cooperation of the participating states and its prospects. The most important conditions for the success of the Nordic sub-regional integration are the same level of economic development of the Nordic States, the similarity of their political systems, as well as a high degree of harmonization and unification of their legislation. As a result of the almost thousand-year process of integration in the north of Europe, these states have created a common economic and legal space, which serves as a guarantee of the well-being of their population, the further development of democratic institutions and the rule of law in them. The cooperation of these states differs from the European integration within the European Union. It is based on mutual trust and respect for common values. The North-European integration is not subject to radical changes, develops continuously and is effective. Due to the fact that this process is attractive for other regions, including the Russian Federation, the article highlights the reasons, conditions, and factors that contribute to the progress of cooperation between states that have a common history, the same level of development, and reliable political and economic contacts. The goals and objectives of the authors of the article were to establish the possibilities of using the Scandinavian experience in other sub-regions and regions. When writing the article, authors used the scientific method of analyzing the actual data indicating the feasibility of using the experience and results of interstate cooperation in the north of Europe. The results of the scientific research carried out by the authors were the conclusions formulated by them that the success of creating a common economic and legal sub-regional (regional) space depends on the degree of identity of the states participating in it. In this regard, the article suggests that the problems which the European Union currently faces are largely caused, among others, by the lack of unity of interests among its member states, as well as equal opportunities in overcoming the economic crisis that has hit Europe and is caused by the coronavirus pandemic. On this background, the five North- European states share a common position and adhere to the «bloc» principle of membership in international organizations.

The article examines such a complex of illegal phenomena and gross violations of the labour rights of citizens as servitude, forced labour and debt bondage in the modern world. The author analyses the nature of these illegal phenomena and the reasons contributing to their existence in the 21st century, as well as the factors contributing to victimisation. The article examines the Australian experience in countering these phenomena, taking into account the general situation in the Asia-Pacific region of the world, as well as the Australian legislation establishing responsibility for such conduct. It can attract the attention of the Russian legislator.

The article is devoted to the study of the consequences for the education sector of legislative and organizational decisions taken in connection with the pandemic of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19. The analysis of the measures taken by the Russian Federation in order to ensure the educational process in the context of a pandemic is carried out and their systematization is proposed. It is revealed that educational relations have undergone a certain transformation, not only of an organizational, but also of a substantive nature, due to the need to introduce certain restrictions in the educational sphere.

Legal regulation of labor relations continues to develop dynamically, especially under the influence of innovative transformations in the economy. More close attention on the part of the state, represented by the control and supervisory authorities, has always been paid to the issues of labor protection and the strengthening of the inspection activities carried out by them. However, the established approach to identifying violations of labor legislation is gradually shifting in favor of preventing violations and reducing their number by increasing the efficiency of labor organization. These trends are reflected in the changes made to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation in terms of labor protection. The article presents an analysis of the main novels, identifies some of the problems that may arise with their application, and offers options for resolving controversial issues.

In the Russian Federation, employers massively violate the labor rights of employees. The main way to protect the rights of employees is their appeal to the court for the protection of their rights. The author analyzes court decisions on labor disputes, including those disputes where he personally participated as a representative. The article concludes about the complexity of such processes both for the parties to labor relations and for the court itself.

in the article, the author gave a definition: «Food security of the Russian Federation is a state of protection of vital human food interests from internal and external risks and threats, in which the state prioritizes the implementation of the constitutional rights and freedoms of citizens for a stable, affordable, safe and high-quality food that provides them with decent health and a high standard of living, preservation and strengthening of physical health sufficient to resist coronavirus and other biological threats and maintain their long-term active life». In order to coordinate state measures to ensure food security, it is proposed to create a Commission for monitoring the process of providing the population of the Russian Federation with high-quality food and its export and developing preventive recommendations to prevent emerging food problems under the Presidential Council for Strategic Development and National Projects. It is considered that this Commission should monitor the implementation of the adaptive «Strategic Concept for Ensuring Food Security» in each region, adopted by the executive and representative authorities of the relevant subject of the Russian Federation and approved by the Government of the Russian Federation. Since the elimination of scientific, technical, technological and integration potentials of agricultural production since 1990 it does not contribute to the development of reproduction processes of agro-industrial production, and the importance of agriculture will increase globally in the future, it is proposed, among other things, to restore the Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences with its territorial location, as in the USSR, — in the center of Moscow.

the aim of the work is to study the legal framework for the development of the energy infrastructure of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, as well as to identify the specifics of the legal concept of «energy infrastructure of the Arctic zone». There were applied a systemic method, methods of analysis and synthesis of information. As a result of the study, the main features of the special legal regime that created for the placement of energy infrastructure facilities in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation were established, and the main legal incentives used for the development of energy infrastructure in the Arctic conditions were shown. At the same time, legal problems caused by insufficient consideration of the increased financial risks of harm to the vulnerable environment of the Arctic are outlined. The conclusion is substantiated that the creation of a special legal regime that encourages economic activity in the Arctic zone should be accompanied by the development of a system of requirements in the field of environmental protection, taking into account the specifics of the Arctic nature and the conditions for the intensification of economic activity in the Arctic.

the article considers the harmonization of environmental legislation of Russia and Belarus. It is concluded that the process of harmonization can take place not only at the level of the Union State, but also at other levels: within the framework of interstate associations (the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU)), at the level of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), as well as through the implementation of international agreements into national legislation.
