The main attention in this article is paid to the current state of criminal procedural science, which by and large should be responsible for the state of affairs in the law enforcement sphere in general and in the fight against crime, in particular. In presenting his thoughts, the author proceeds from the fact that the work on improving the norms of Russian criminal procedure legislation is currently based not so much on scientific data collected by proceduralists, but on the intuition of Russian legislators. Considering this state of affairs unsatisfactory, he insists that the existing needs of the state and society in the field of criminal proceedings should initially be considered in scientific research, thereby creating the possibility of choosing from their real set the best options for legal regulation of certain procedural procedures. This will inevitably lead to an improvement in the quality of not only the prescriptions of criminal procedure legislation, but also, which is no less important, scientific and pedagogical activities directly related to their research and popularization in the legal community.

The total area of the Earth’s cryolithic zone spans over the territories of the Northern part of America, Europe, Asia, the Arctic Ocean islands, and Antarctica. The permafrost occupies 60% to 65% of the Russian territory and spans in its Arctic and Subarctic zone. Scientific research shows that cryogenic processes run more intensively in urbanized lands of the cryolithic zone and their history differs from the processes which develop in natural environments. Construction of economic infrastructure in such territories has its peculiar features directed at preservation of the permafrost. Surface damage and activation of thermal subsidence were noted during construction of gas pipelines, highways. It also showed effect of buildings on the frozen basement. Implications of the permafrost thawing will affect ecological well-being of the whole planet. It is necessary to take legal measures directed at restricting business and other activities within the territory of occurrence of the permafrost. Law of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) “On Protection of Permafrost in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia)” is the only law in Russia directed at legal regulation of protection of the permafrost. In spite of the benefits of the said law, the Article stresses upon some of its legal and technical defects. Protection of the permafrost, a task of ensuring environmental safety and its legal regulation, shall take place in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Law “On Environment Protection.” In the end of the research, we offer ways of improving legislation in the sphere of environment protection when exercising business and other activities within the territory of occurrence of the permafrost.

The 21^st century is characterized by numerous globalization process, including those associated with the development of external relations of the regions (paradiplomacy). The systemic formation of this phenomenon occured in the second half of the 20^th century. And despite the fact that theoretical understanding of this phenomenon begins in the 1970s, this topic remains largely undisclosed. To a large extent, this is also relevant for Russian science. The goal of the work was to identify the features of the development of regulatory and institutional basement for external relations in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). Within the framework of this goal, the research paper included discovering documents (legal and by-laws, concepts, reports and other documents), taking into account a system analysis and chronological approach. In the research results, it should be noted such aspects as the phased development of the regulatory basement, in each of the stages were both positive and limiting factors. The formation of republican institutions of external relations was progressing unevenly, being closely connected with both objective (regulatory and legal opportunities) and subjective (formation of human resources) characteristics.

The most important source for the historical sciences are primary sources: documents stored in archives. In Yakutia, the main part of the archival funds of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) is kept in the National Archive of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), hereinafter, the NA SR (Y). One of the main parts of the entire information system of archives are documents, including documents on the personnel of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). The purpose of this article was to study the organization of the system of reference tools for documents on personnel in the NA SR (Y). The relevance of the topic lies in the fact that at the moment the documents on personnel submitted to the archive, basically, do not have a scholarly reference apparatus (SRA), which complicates the work of not only the employees of the archive themselves, but also researchers. The creation of an SRA for the archival funds of documents on personnel will not only improve the quality of the activities of archival institutions, but will also allow interested persons to actively use these documents in their activities. Research objectives: to study of archival funds of documents on personnel; replenishment of the scholarly and reference apparatus; compilation of a reference book on the information and location of documents on the personnel of organizations of the republic.
