The emergence of international law and periodization of its development remain relevant today. In general, most scientists consider that there were limited manifestations of international law in the era of Antiquity and the European Middle Ages. However, the manifestations that did emerge are significant. In particular, the practice of settling interstate agreements in the Ancient East evidences such importance. In the context of ancient civilization, this practice reached a new level. It led to the emergence of sufficiently broad alliances of states and at the same time, customary international law, as was observed in the international legal practices in the times of Hellenistic era and the era of the Roman Empire.

The aim of the article is to identify the nature of the influence of European law on Russian legal system, carried out in the framework of the impact on the Russian legislation, the Russian Federation's participation in the European legal processes and the traditional reception of the positive European experience in the field of law. Package and systemic approaches are used as the methodological basis of research to the analysis of the legal problems associated with the international obligations resulting from the need to implement the European legal standards into the Russian legal system. In the article the thesis is substantiated according to which the influence of European law on the legal system of Russia is the Europeanization of the Russian legal culture in general, as well as in the modernization of legislation on the basis of European standards and the Europeanisation of the Russian judicial practice.

Purpose: The purpose of current work is to study the problems of legal regulation of issues related to efficient and rational land use, the search for sources of capital accumulation to ensure sustainable agricultural production. Design/methodology/approach: The methodological basis of the research was formed by general scientific and private scientific methods. Findings: One of the main tasks of any state is to ensure food security, since it is an integral part of the country's national security. In Russia, this aspect of security remains an important area of government policy and lawmaking. At the same time, the depressive state of the industry indicates the low efficiency of the means of legal regulation of the agro-industrial complex. Originality/value: The factor of state structural policy in agriculture determines the main directions of development and institutional parameters of agricultural producers through legislative and financial policies. At the same time, law-making policy is an instrument for carrying out structural policy in agriculture, both at the federal and regional levels, since the state adopts laws that determine the further existence and development of various categories of farms.

The article presents the analysis and generalizations, scientific justifications and views of scientists on the sign-symbolic system. Under this system, the "symbol" category and the "sign" category are separated. The sign is defined as a material definition, and the symbol is a treasure trove of meanings, since it has a unique ability not only to accumulate the age-old values of our predecessors, but also to form new semantic constructs through the disclosure of the contexts of ancient civilizations. This emphasizes the complementarity of the symbol and the sign, the interpenetration and ambiguity of their transition. Symbol possesses the power that can combine the perception of the world with the perception of the person him\herself when understanding the meanings. The symbol is firmly embedded in the human consciousness and is the cultural and spiritual heritage of humanity. Its origin and stages of formation are inextricably linked and are considered in the context of a long evolutionary process with cultural changes in social life. A review of various theoretical concepts in the psychological and legal sciences on the problem of symbolism and symbolization allows us to reach a deeper, integrated level of its development and to understand the mechanisms and specific features of development.
