In this study, the authors refer to the migration policy of the Nordic countries and the consolidation in them at the legislative level of the right of foreign citizens to protect and respect family life. The issue under consideration is extremely relevant in this period of time, since there are problems generated by the Scandinavian juvenile justice that are directly related to the systematic violation of the rights of foreign citizens. The novelty of the article lies in the fact that it analyzes judicial practice, as well as decisions of international bodies, in particular the European Court of Human Rights, that reflect the specifics of juvenile justice in the states under consideration. The aim of the study is to carry out a comparative analysis of the legislation of Northern Europe and the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights in specific cases in the field of protection of the rights of foreign citizens. The study is based on the theoretical material of the works of Russian authors (M.A. Mogunova, E.A. Orlova, N.S. Plevako, O.V. Chernysheva, et al.), the national legislation and international legal acts and decisions. The article analyzes the law enforcement practice of the European Court of Human Rights, which reflects the main principles that make up the objective opinion of this body, taking into account the main provisions of international legal documents, including the norms of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement for Legalization of Foreign Public Documents. The methodological basis of the research was the dialectical, comparative legal and formal legal methods. In particular, the use of the dialectical method contributed to the study of legislation that enshrines the rights of foreign citizens to protect and respect family life in the states of Northern Europe. The use of comparative legal and formal legal methods helped to identify trends in the development of legislation on citizenship and the legal status of foreign citizens in the states of Northern Europe. As a result, the authors note a tendency for the authorities of some Scandinavian states to revise their attitude towards children from foreign and mixed families, which is happening under, among other reasons, the “pressure” of international bodies specializing in the protection of individual rights and freedoms. Special instructions are being introduced that explain to guardianship officials the need to cooperate with the immigration authorities if the officials are considering children's documents, and the need to react to requests from foreign authorities (in particular, embassies). Employees of the Scandinavian guardianship services should facilitate the establishment of contact between the family and the embassy of the state with which they have expressed a desire to contact for one reason or another.
The article is devoted to the tendencies of civil self-determination of the modern Russian youth. The relevance of the topic is justified by the contradictoriness of the Russian socio-political context. The functional structure of the category «civil self-determination» is described. On the basis of quantitative data of author's sociological research and correlation analysis, characteristics of various components of civil self-determination are given (civil identification, patriotism, civic activity). The «apoliticalness» of the youth as a social group is fixed. In conclusion, the individualization of the civil self-determination of modern youth is noted. Key words: civil self-determination, youth, civic identity, patriotism, socio-political activity, protest potential, «traditionalists» and «modernists».
At the beginning of the 20th century the problem of the resettlement movement in Russia was considered both in the context of agrarian issue study, and in the study of the Asian part of the country history in Germanic Russian studies of the second half of the last century.At that, a special attention was paid to the Far East since the 1980-ies.In addition to the historians of the former FRG, and the united Germany of 1990-ies, the interest to the problem was also shown by the experts of Russian history in Austria and the German part of Switzerland.At that, the scholars' attention was aimed at the resettlement movement during Stolypin's agrarian reform implementation period.Initially, not without the influence of the Soviet historiography assessments concerning the issue, the skeptical assessments of governmental agrarian policy effectiveness prevailed in German-speaking Russian studies.However, since the second half of the 1980-ies, there has been a partial revision of previous postulates in German and Austrian Russian studies; A. Morich and German historians who specialized in the Far Eastern problems (D.Landgraf, L. Deeg) noted not only the difficulties, but also the achievements of tsarism resettlement policy: the improvement of the demographic situation in a region, the progress in the development of capitalist relations, and a certain intensification of agriculture.
