In connection with the development of digital technologies, many legal relations are moving into a digital format, and the rights and obligations of subjects are acquiring new forms of implementation. The emerging digital economy is creating a fundamentally new infrastructure based on the use of digital technologies, including in traditional areas of economic and social life of society. The digital environment offers the conditions for effective communication of an almost unlimited range of users using various online services. The most important role in these processes is played by digital platforms, which have various functional orientations and allow for the interaction of many subjects, including facilitating the conclusion of contracts between them, the execution of transactions, dispute resolution, etc. In such conditions, the legal regulation of public relations related to the functioning of digital platforms becomes extremely relevant. In recent years, the Russian Federation has adopted several regulatory legal acts regulating relations in the field of various digital platforms, however, the norms contained in them are mainly of a special nature and provide rules for certain types of digital platforms (financial, investment, trade, etc.). At the same time, there is a need to create common norms and unify concepts used in the field of platform economics and in regulatory legal acts regulating relevant relations. The legal foundations of the platform economy are just beginning to take shape; the first general norms at the federal level appeared in connection with the adoption of Federal Law No. 289-FZ dated 07/31/2025 “On Certain Issues of Regulating the Platform Economy in the Russian Federation”. However, in general, the law is aimed at regulating digital platforms related to marketplaces and does not solve the general problems of legal regulation of the platform economy. This article examines the most significant legal problems that arise in the field of digital platforms and suggests the main areas of legal regulation.

Determining the actual value of a participant’s share in an LLC upon withdrawal remains a controversial issue in corporate law. Legislative gaps, the absence of unified calculation methods, and the risks of overestimating or underestimating the value create a breeding ground for conflicts between participants and the company.

Based on a critical approach to existing mechanisms, the article proposes measures to improve legislation, including standardizing evaluation procedures and strengthening guarantees for protecting the rights of participants.

The article considers the issues of ensuring the right to defense from the point of view of the completeness of its legal regulation. The features of this action are considered with the substantiation of their distinctive features on the issues of ensuring the participation of a defense attorney. A brief description is given for each ground for the mandatory participation of a defense attorney. It is concluded that the mandatory nature of ensuring the participation of a defense attorney for the implementation of this right should be directly enshrined in the content of the principle provided for in Article 16 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation and 48 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. Since there is an opinion that the imperativeness of this right does not coincide with the concept of the right to defense as subjective and positive, from the provision of which some participants are given the opportunity to refuse. In this regard, the requirement for the mandatory provision of this right should be enshrined in the status of a norm-principle.

The article discusses approaches to understanding the term that refers to crime committed in the virtual space using digital technologies. The emergence of interest in this topic is driven not only by the widespread nature of this type of crime, but also by the emergence of a new field in criminology, known as “digital criminology,” which has led to increased research on digital crime. In order to fully understand the phenomenon under study, it is necessary to bring the definition of the key term, which refers to crime committed in the virtual space using digital technologies, to a unified standard. We believe that this has been achieved in the study by providing an accurate and unambiguous definition that eliminates ambiguity and synonymy.

The article examines the key features of the geopolitical status of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) as a distinctive geopolitical actor through the lens of the «Lenaland» concept. The relevance of the topic lies in the growing importance of Yakutia in both intra-Russian and global geopolitical processes; the need for scholarly support of regional government policies in the context of geopolitics; and the underdevelopment of regional geopolitical characteristics of the republic in academic research. The study’s methodology is based on classical geopolitical theory, critical (internal) geopolitical approach, organicist approach, and the theory of Neo-Eurasianism. The research aims to identify Yakutia’s core geopolitical characteristics to analyze its geopolitical status and to reinterpret the concept of «Lenaland» within the framework of modern Russian geopolitics. The study reveals: geographical features influencing the republic’s role as a geopolitical actor; resulting geopolitical challenges; and strategic directions for state authorities. The concept of «Lenaland» is reinterpreted from its Anglo-Saxon classical geopolitical definition to a modern Russian geopolitical theory within the Neo-Eurasianist school.

This article analyzes the renaming of streets and squares in Yakutsk within the context of socio-political discourse. Urban toponyms, particularly street and square names, are not only navigational elements but also a reflection of historical, cultural, and political processes. In Yakutsk, as in many other cities in the Russian Federation, urbanonyms have repeatedly changed depending on the political situation. This article examines the historical background to urbanonym changes, current debates surrounding their renaming, and the positions of various population groups. Particular attention is paid to the ideological aspect of the issue and its influence on the formation of urban identity. The purpose of the study is to identify the degree of politicization of the issue of urbanonym renaming in Yakutsk and to analyze current views on this issue. The study is based on an analysis of scientific literature, archival materials, media publications, and sociological data. Methods of historical analysis, content analysis of discussions on social media and in the media, and the method of interpreting the results of public opinion surveys are used. The study revealed that in the pre-revolutionary period, street names in Yakutsk most often reflected their functional purpose or geographical features. In the 1920s and 1930s, many streets were named after figures associated with the civil war in Yakutia. In the post-war years, the trend of perpetuating the names of Soviet heroes continued. Currently, the issue of renaming streets in Yakutsk remains relevant and politicized. Society is divided between those who support and those who oppose the changes, with the former more often appealing to national identity and historical justice, while the latter focus on practical difficulties and respect for the past.
