Within the framework of this research, on the basis of the dialectical unity of its legal and mathematical components, on the basis of general scientific (analysis, synthesis, deduction and induction, abstraction, structural and functional method) and special research methods (formal-legal, method of legal construction, formal-logical, system, technical-legal analysis, statistical method, methods of mathematical statistics and probability theory, etc.), a model of digital legal proceedings in Russia is proposed. The article explains the optimal variant between the components of the digital legal proceedings model in Russia, as well as providing an analysis and evaluation of the effectiveness of the digital legal proceedings model and the prospects for the development of digital legal proceedings. It is concluded that there is a need to develop legal regulation in terms of introducing the definition of “electronic evidence”, types of electronic evidence; it is recognized as a positive practice of implementing a video-conferencing system that ensures the implementation of citizens’ rights to participate in a court session, which significantly reduces the time for case consideration; the need to create a single Internet portal for receiving, processing, and providing electronic documents by all authorities in Russia is explained. In this research, it is explained that the use of mathematical algorithms in evaluating evidence and modeling the behavior of participants in trials is now at an early stage of development, which allows them to be used only in the consideration of similar cases.

Prior to the amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 2020, three types of courts could carry out normative control in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation: the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, constitutional (charter) courts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and courts of general jurisdiction. Amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation led to amendments to the Federal Constitutional Law “On the Judicial System of the Russian Federation”. The constitutional (statutory) courts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation were abolished. The competence of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation to verify the normative acts of the authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation on complaints from citizens was expanded. The partial overlap of competence between the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, courts of general jurisdiction and constitutional (charter) courts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation has disappeared. However, the issue of verification of normative acts arose if these acts were adopted by the authorities of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation within the exclusive jurisdiction of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation (based on Article 73 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The Federal Constitutional Law “On the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation” expressly prohibits verification of such normative acts by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation. Verification of such acts in courts of general jurisdiction is not formally prohibited by the Code of Administrative Procedure of the Russian Federation, but contradicts the federal nature of the state and Article 73 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. They cannot invalidate contested acts, but they can use other mechanisms to ensure the regime of constitutional and legal legality in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

The article is devoted to the issues of staffing of agriculture in Russia and its impact on the development of the industry. The authors put forward a hypothesis of dependence of the level of development of the agricultural sector, the growth of the country's domestic food security, regarding the achievement of staffing of agricultural entities with highly qualified managers, specialists and workers of mass professions capable of achieving an increase in agricultural production and expansion of the export potential of the industry. The article presents an analysis of the staffing of agriculture in the Russian Federation, in particular, the authors reflect the dynamics of the personnel composition of farmers for 2019-2023; assessment of the current state of staffing of the agricultural industry by managers and specialists; a comparative analysis of the personnel deficit of agriculture in Russia with the number of graduates of agricultural vocational education institutions in 2023 was performed. In addition, the authors proposed directions for the formation of high-quality personnel support for the sustainable development of agriculture in the country.

The chapter examines the legal, organizational, and managerial aspects of reforming the municipal solid waste (MSW) management system in the Russian Federation within the framework of the “waste reform” launched on January 1, 2019. Based on a comprehensive theoretical and legal analysis, the legal status of key participants in the relations is investigated: regional operators, state authorities, local self-government, citizens, and legal entities. Systemic problems are identified: uneven implementation of the reform across regions, low level of secondary raw material extraction, infrastructure deficit, social discontent, insufficient environmental culture of the population, and ambiguity of judicial practice (in particular, regarding the application of GOST standards on a voluntary basis and the calculation of fees during the temporary absence of a consumer). The necessity for further improvement of legislation is substantiated, including the differentiation of the concepts of “permanent” and “temporary” residence for the purposes of fee calculation, as well as the systematization of regulatory acts. It is concluded that the success of the reform depends on coordinated actions of the state, business, and the formation of a new environmental culture of the population.

В рамках данной статьи анализируются положения федеральных законов и подзаконных актов, регулирующих государственное управление консультативной помощи субъектам рынка сельскохозяйственной продукции, в соотношении с экономической категорией «консалтинг».
