   In connection with the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic and due to the absence of international treaties, acts of "soft law" in the field of non-fulfillment (improper fulfillment) of contractual obligations play an increasingly important role in judicial practice. The proposal for the mutual recognition of vaccination certificates as a means of ensuring international integration and the problem of the nature of reciprocity are analyzed. The author also analyzes the practice of the courts of Canada, the United States and Russia, as well as the provisions of the so-called "soft law" (lex mercatoria) – the Principles of International Commercial Agreements of UNIDROIT and the Standard Clause of the International Chamber of Commerce "On a significant change in circumstances" in 2020 on force majeure and a significant change circumstances as legal grounds for refusal to execute them, their termination or suspension of their execution.

   This article is dedicated to the forms of lawmaking of the President of Russia. The term “Lawmaking” includes the direct influence to the legal order as a whole, not limited to the expressly meant powers and rights of the President of the Russian Federation to issue decrees establishing legal provisions. This article emphasizes the specific role of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation. It seems somewhat hasty to speculate about the absence of a federal law regulating in detail the activities of the Presidential Administration as a lack of legal regulation and a potential violation of the principle of separation of powers. The fragmental character of the provisions of the Russian Constitution in the scope of the legal status of the President has positive properties. The author of this article considers among them the creative potential, which makes possible to concretize the powers of the President of Russia in practice. It seems that excessive detailed stipulation of the powers of the President of the Russian Federation in the text of federal law can turn into a conflict of competences between the President and other government bodies. This directly concerns the rule-making powers of the President of the Russian Federation. In addition, this article highlights the features of s. c. “subsidiary” state bodies.

   The method of diachronic-synchronous research presents the historical experience of the formation of legal terms and concepts of Chinese branch terminology. The level and features of its formation are revealed. The distinctive features and peculiarities of Chinese terminology and their influence on the formation of international terms are shown. The terminological level is determined, as well as the meaning and meanings of these terms. The philosophical, theoretical and subject-practical problems of the study of the Chinese terms "right" and "law" are analyzed. An interpretive series of these terms, their meaning and meanings in the ancient Chinese language, when they meant the “degree of guilt and innocence” of the subject, his ability to “clearly determine the truth and untruth”, as well as the word “刑” xíng xing, which meant “punishment”, was established. In the modern PRC, the concept of "right" "法律" fǎlǜ falu has the meaning of "norm of behavior", which is determined by the state and relies on its coercive power to ensure the functioning of the legal foundations of its life, as well as the legal status of internal security agencies, including the country's penitentiary system. When analyzing Russian, English and Chinese research literature, the emphasis is on Chinese terminological sources. The authors introduced the "terminological triad" method to understand the process of formation of the Chinese term and its interpretation.

   The article explores the role of international law in overcoming the imbalances of the world monetary system in the emerging multipolar world order. The principles of freedom of pricing and the formation of the national currency exchange rate in the foreign exchange markets in the constituent acts of international financial organizations contributed to the emergence of a gap in international monetary law, since this approach does not provide for the streamlining of the monetary policy of central banks. This problem is compounded by the principle of free movement of capital. Based on functional and structural analysis, this study reveals the gap itself in international monetary law at the global level. Comparative legal analysis identifies ways to overcome it in the constituent acts of regional organizations, and also shows a split in approaches to regulating interaction between such organizations. The author comes to the conclusion that the constituent acts of regional organizations fix not only the provisions on the currency obligations of the states that are members of such organizations, but also the principles of streamlining the monetary policy of central banks. Moreover, the principles of international legal regulation of the interaction of these regional organizations within the framework of BRICS have been formed in the world, which are fundamentally different from the approach of the collective West.

In the domestic space, it began to be used only with the adoption of the new Family Code at the end of the twentieth century (1995). At the same time, it has not yet received a wide distribution, as well as an unambiguous positive or negative assessment.

   This article discusses the features of the formation of the statehood of the Republic of South Ossetia in the context of international law and the legislation of the USSR. The legal, political and historical aspects of Georgian-Ossetian relations are analyzed. The subject of this work is the historical, political and legal aspects of the acquisition of state sovereignty by the people of South Ossetia in the context of the collapse of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the collision of the principles of international law: the self-determination of peoples (nations) and the integrity of the territory of the state. In the course of the work, historiographic, scientific and journalistic materials of domestic and foreign authors in the field of political science, conflictology, political history, and international law were used. The study was based on a combination of such methodological principles as consistency, historicism, and scientific objectivity. Comparative-legal method, problem-chronological, formal-legal methods were used as special-scientific methods. The author shows that the reference point of the modern phase of the Georgian-Ossetian conflict, which ended with the invasion of South  Ossetia on August 8, 2008 by the Georgian army, is the collapse of the USSR and the associated processes of sovereignization and politicization of interethnic relations among the peoples of the post-Soviet space. The article substantiates that the territory of South Ossetia has never been part of the sovereign Georgian state, since the Georgian small principalities began to alternately become part of Russia only in 1801, after Ossetia was annexed to the Russian Empire in 1774. Subsequently, the territory of South Ossetia was included (against their will) in the administrative space of Georgia on a geographical basis within the framework of the territorial-state structure of a single country (the Russian Empire, the USSR, the Russian Federation). Non-standard political and legal issues of the collapse of the USSR, features of separatism and radicalization of the Georgian SSR, as a result of which, in the author's opinion, right de jure divorced the South Ossetian autonomy and Georgia within the framework of the Soviet Union, are covered. The article also touches upon the problematic issues of the status of the international borders of the independent states of the post-Soviet space in accordance with international law and the principle of uti possidetis. The author summarizes that the UN recognition of the state territory of sovereign Georgia, within the administrative boundaries of the former Georgian SSR, is devoid of legal grounds and does not comply with international law, while the declaration of independence of the Republic of South Ossetia took place in strict accordance with the norms of international law and the legislation of the USSR.

   With the widespread introduction of the Internet and social networks, the spread of fake news is turning into an epidemic. Recently, users of social networks prefer to learn the news through the Internet, social networks and various instant messengers. Such news is often spread through the p2p model, from person to person in one messenger or another, by means of retweets and reposts from one social network to another, and their veracity is rarely of interest to readers and is taken on faith. The so-called fake news integrated into content, which has become a widespread media phenomenon, affects the minds of citizens, causing panic, sometimes forcing them to make rash decisions that are unusual in ordinary life. In this regard, the legislator (Articles 207.1 and 207.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) proposed and implemented measures to penalize acts related to the dissemination of fake news in the media space, which imply criminal liability for the dissemination of knowingly false publicly significant information.

   The protection of exclusive rights to trademarks in our country is a complex ambiguous legal problem, judicial practice on which is still insufficient due to the relatively recent introduction of the norms of civil law regulation of the protection of exclusive rights to trademarks in the current legislation. The decisions of different courts may not only not correspond, but also contradict each other. Even if there are such differences among the employees of the courts in understanding the issues of protection of exclusive rights to trademarks, what can we say about ordinary citizens and representatives of legal entities? The civil law regulation of the issues under consideration is also complicated due to the vagueness of the wording adopted in legislative acts. It is not easy to understand these documents without special training. This leads to the fact that individuals and legal entities engaged in entrepreneurial activity do not know their rights, obligations and do not understand the measures of responsibility. Accordingly, at the time of receipt of the claim, in most cases, legal entities and individuals do not understand the essence of the violation committed, as well as what they should do to resolve the situation. In foreign practice, these issues have been considered for a long time and have a well-founded system of legislative regulation of processes related to the protection of exclusive rights to trademarks. Most often, various kinds of abuses are committed in relation to well-known trademarks. Since the time of the Paris Convention, adopted in 1883, the protection of trademarks has been the object of close attention. These issues are also addressed in the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS). The researchers believe that in the near future we should expect the expansion of the trademark protection system and the use of more extensive concepts than the concept of "trademark infringement". In 2006 The US legislation was supplemented by a law, the provisions of which allowed owners of public trademarks to form lawsuits to resolve the issue of illegal use of trademarks, as a result of which associations are eroded, eliminated and the reputation of the owner of the mark is damaged. Many States have introduced into their legislation provisions on the possibility of entering information into the created databases of trademarks by their owners, which allowed customs authorities to counteract piracy. The author analyzes the accumulated judicial practice in order to form an understanding of the courts' point of view on solving complex issues of civil protection of exclusive rights to trademarks of the point of view of the courts on solving complex issues of civil protection of exclusive rights to trademarks.
