indigenous peoples of the Russian Federation are an integral part of its modern society. Most of these ethnic groups live in the North, Siberia and the Far East. The significant part of the indigenous peoples of these regions lives in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The special extreme living conditions of these peoples in the Arctic zone predetermined the special legal regulation of social relations at the level of international law and domestic legislation. The Russian Federation is a party to many international treaties regulating human rights problems, including those containing norms on the protection of the rights of indigenous peoples. In the Russian Federation, many provisions of the relevant international treaties have been implemented into national legislation. The amendments made to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 2020 strengthened the legal status of indigenous peoples with a norm on the protection of the identity of peoples and ethnic communities living in the Russian Federation. And in this regard, in the development of the legal regulation of the protection of the rights of indigenous peoples, it is proposed to enshrine in the Constitution of the Russian Federation a provision on the prohibition of forced assimilation.

bioprinting is a developing field of technology that is part of a broader field of tissue engineering and uses 3D printing technology. Technologies for potential three-dimensional printing of living tissues, including skin and organs, are developing rapidly. When this technology becomes widely available, ethical issues such as increasing life expectancy or even immortality should already be resolved. Recent studies show a tendency to use the same regulatory model for three-dimensional printing as with the use of biological and non-biological materials, arguing that these procedures are technically similar. However, these problems should not be oversimplified due to the sensitivity of the described area, bearing in mind that further research will only cause new political, legal and ethical debates, especially regarding the possibility of using material for bioprinting from humans (allogeneic cells).

(Review of the scientific-practical guide: Social Payments in the Russian Federation: Intersectoral Approach to Legal Regulation / ex. ed. N. V. Antonova. — Moscow: Prospekt, 2022 [13])
Annotation: The review presents an assessment of the main results of the study, which was conducted by the authors of the scientific and practical manual and is devoted to topical issues of legal regulation of social and socially significant payments under the legislation of the Russian Federation.
The uniqueness of the work is noted, due to the use of an interdisciplinary approach that complements the existing methods of scientific research in jurisprudence. Other successful “finds” can be traced in the coverage of such a complex institution as social payments, interacting with various branches of law — social security law, labor law, civil law, etc.
The importance of this kind of research is emphasized, especially in crisis conditions, including the social sphere, when it is necessary to make timely and adequate legal decisions in response to challenges in a changing world.

The author substantiates the need to establish missing administrative responsibility in the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation for violating the requirements provided for by the Federal Law “On Responsible Treatment of Animals and on Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation”. The article presents a comprehensive analysis of the norms of this law in their totality, unity and interrelation in order to determine the number of requirements established in them for the maintenance and use of animals. The requirements for the signs of administrative offenses have been detailed, taking into account the legal content of each norm of each article of the law. Attention is paid to the subject composition of possible offenses, taking into account the requirements established for various types of animal treatment activities. The formulations of qualifying signs of possible compositions of administrative offenses based on the requirements of legislative norms are proposed. Critical remarks are made about the current state of law-making activities to supplement the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation with new offenses in the field of animal treatment and proposals are formulated to improve it. Attention is focused on the need to establish compounds in the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation that form administratively punishable cruelty to animals.

in modern Russia, the attitude to the animal world, following the trend of global trends, is experiencing a qualitative humanization. The ideas of zoohumanism find new supporters in the Russian society. It is necessary to take into account the fact that in a state that experienced social atomization in the 1990s, these processes are especially painful and contrasting. Nevertheless, veterinary care centers, animal shelters are opening, the issue of establishing an animal rights commissioner is being discussed.
The indicated ideological shifts in the public consciousness, implemented in practical activities, are ideologically drawn from the practice and philosophy of Western European and American experience. Without trying to belittle or denigrate the real achievements of the humanization of attitudes towards animals in the Western world, it should be noted that its main ideological provisions were born and actively developed by Russian philosophical and legal thought in the late XIX — early XX centuries.
The humanization of the attitude towards animals in the Russian Empire, in the ideological, moral and practical component, went side by side. The number of members of the Society for the Protection of Animals slowly but surely grew. Despite the fact that membership in this «philanthropic» organization did not promise any material or career bonuses. On the contrary, it was associated with non-standardized, painstaking work, and often with the solution of the problems of the consequences of human cruelty to animals, at the expense of the members of society at their own expense. The names of people who stood at the dawn of modern domestic zoohumanism were already noted by their contemporaries. Without belittling the merits, qualities and contribution of each member of the Society for the Protection of Animals, we have to single out those about whom the greatest amount of information has been preserved.

The organization of environmental management is characterized by certain specifics related to the features of management objects and permissible forms of realization of rights to them (first of all, property rights), the presence of multi-level public and private interests and other factors.

Russia and Belarus have been cooperating on a variety of aspects for a long time. Environmental protection is one of the most important areas, since the constant growth of production and consumption causes irreparable harm to the environment. The aim of the work is to study the legal foundations of cooperation between Russia and the Republic of Belarus in the field of environmental protection over the past decade, as well as its results. The subject of the study is the social relations that develop in the process of implementing the provisions on environmental protection. The method of comparison, analysis and evaluation of information is used in the work. The research materials were the norms of interstate agreements, the Union State, environmental legislation, scientific literature.
As a result of the study, gaps in the current legislation in the field of environmental protection were identified, the need for harmonization of the legislation of Russia and the Republic of Belarus in this area was substantiated.

This article is devoted to the issue of legal regulation of historical and cultural lands. This category of land is similar in its functions and tasks to the lands of specially protected natural territories, but the legal regime of such lands is much softer than the legal regime of protected areas, which creates the ground for various abuses.

The vastness and features of the territory of the Russian Arctic determine the diversity of sources of law governing the use of natural resources and the protection of the natural environment. This includes both international «soft» law and national sources of law — the Russian Federation and its subjects.
The sources of Russian environmental law in their «Arctic» dimension are represented by the Law «On Environmental Protection» dated January 10, 2002, other conceptual federal and regional laws, by-laws that constitute natural resource and environmental law.
The development of the lands of the Arctic is carried out according to the Land Code of the Russian Federation, according to the legislation on land management, on land reclamation, on the provision of a «northern» hectare, on stimulating entrepreneurial activity in the North, etc.
The sources of law on the development of Arctic waters and aquatic biological resources are diverse, but the main one continues to be the Water Code of the Russian Federation, common for the protection and use of water bodies, as well as legislation on inland and adjacent seas, the hydrometeorological service, and the Northern Sea Route.
Sources of law on the development and use of the subsoil of the Arctic cover and solve the problems of exploration, production, use and protection of gas, oil, and other mineral resources on the continental shelf and in the economic zone of the Russian Federation, classified under federal jurisdiction.
