Research paper thumbnail of Cybercrimes in the Russian Federation: Criminological and Criminal Law Analysis of the Situation

The Russian Federation does not stay away from this, and although it joined the high tech race late, the development of its legal norms in this sphere follows global trends. Law aimed at counteracting cybercrimes is no exception. The emergence of the global information space gives rise to previously unknown threats to national and international security. Key characteristics of information space, such as its trans-border character, anonymity, speed, difficulty of identifying the actor in the network have led to the growth in the number of IT users and increased the attractiveness of the information infrastructure from the standpoint of using the Internet for criminal purposes. Counteracting these threats has become an important element of the complex of measures to ensure security at the na...

Financial technology or fintech is one of the most discussed problems of the modern digitalization. Particular attention is paid to describing what the fintech industry is, how it relates to traditional financial regulation and to what extent the official recognition of financial technologies can affect economic regulation and the global economy. Theoretical Basis. Methods. The article examines the concept of fintech and the regulatory as- pects of the so-called “sandbox”, which allows, being based on the comparative legal method and the method of legal expertise, to extrapolate specific problems to the entire situation in the field of fintech regulation. The author offers an overview of the main stages of the formation of legislation on financial technologies and examines the role of the Bank of Russia in this process. Results. Arguing about the consequences of such a concentration of regulatory mechanisms in the banking sector, the author thinks about the actual leve...

The position of the author lies in the fact that the cryptocurrency, even though it is, by all indications, one of the types of fintech, is considered separately in science. Due to this, in various works of scientists from different countries, one can note a trend towards a completely opposite understanding of what exactly is a cryptocurrency and what is its significance for changing the modern world financial system. Based on a comparative analysis of research positions, the author evaluates several approaches to the definition of the concept of cryptocurrency. The author identifies three such approaches and evaluates some purely local theories regarding cryptocurrencies and their nature. To express an individual position, the author highlights the main characteristics of the cryptocurrency and proposes to consider them not as a type of already existing currencies, but as a separate phenomenon. The author concludes that the study of cryptocurrencies at the micro and macro levels will allow not only to assess the risks of their use at a particular moment by specific categories of technology consumers, but to assess the systemic nature of the phenomenon and its impact on the future. This, in turn, should allow answering the question of how and when it is worth starting to regulate cryptocurrencies by the law-and whether it is necessary to do this in general.

Research paper thumbnail of Legislative Regulation of Cloud Technologies in Some Countries of Asia Pacific Region

Like any competitive IT, technologies that specialize in the circulation of services in the cloud, developed in one country, mostly function similarly in other countries. There may be grounds for believing that laws in these countries should be the same, but it is not the case. The specific features of the specific legal system, legal history and traditions of the state lead to differences in this area. In addition, international acts that are actively changing in connection with the evolution of the regulatory sphere, judicial precedents, and incidents in the provision of services have an impact on the specifics of the legal regulation of cloud technologies. Thanks to this, a new institution of legal regulation is gradually being formed-a national cloud law, consisting, at the moment, of a whole system of diverse normative acts. In this article, the author attempts to briefly outline the main features of the already established legal regulation in the case of several countries in the Asia-Pacific region, paying attention to the newly adopted legislative acts, the paths of prospective development that become key factors in the modern world of cloud services.

To compare and analyze the trend of appearance of the pseudo-term ‘digital criminology’ in the science of criminology and prove that this is incorrect. Methodology: induction, deduction, synthesis, analysis, formal legal method, comparative legal method, logical method. Conclusions. The evolution of methods of committing crimes and instruments of crime does not always require the evolution of the science of criminology and the emergence of its varieties. You just have to assess the prospects of extrapolative ways and methods of proving the circumstances of the crimes in the era of digitalization of social relations, in terms of the provisions of modern criminal law and only criminal-legal research unit. The definition of ‘digital criminalistics’, which has recently appeared in science, actually misleads the scientific community with its novelty and originality, since such criminalistics in nature does not exist a priori.
