This article explores volunteering in relation to the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC), which took place in Stockholm in 2016 and in Kyiv in 2017, with the aim of shedding light on volunteering as a form of "media work". Following from this, the article aims to problematize the theoretical concept of free labour and analyse the symbolic exchanges and currencies involved in employing a "free" labour force. Through interviews with volunteers, this article explores what volunteers at huge media events do, how their work is organized, and what motivates them. The empirical basis for this article is an interview study with volunteers and volunteer organizers of the ESC in Stockholm (May 2016) and in Kyiv (May 2017), complemented with a document analysis of volunteer guidebooks and organizational reports. The article shows that eventfulness is an essential part of what volunteer labour brings to an event such as the ESC. It is also a key element in the production of economic value: eventfulness is a currency that expresses the value of the event itself and is a key feature of place branding. Furthermore, eventfulnessalong with the feeling of being a part of an event, of something bigger, as it unfolds in time-is a key feature of the motivation for the volunteers who contribute with unpaid labour. As such, eventfulness can also be understood as a form of currency or symbolic capital that forms the main remuneration or "wage" earned by volunteers at an event such as the ESC.

Based on the results of the study of federal regulatory legal acts and judicial practice, the author of the article substantiates the conclusion about the advisability of applying the concept “prosecution” to the activities of the prosecutor participating in hearings in civil-law cases. At present, only criminal prosecution by the prosecutor is enshrined in Article 37 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation. There are research works that justify administrative prosecution by the prosecutor. With regard to the prosecutor’s participation in the consideration of cases by courts outside of criminal proceedings, the issues of defining the role of the prosecutor as a subject of prosecution have not been raised in research. However, in connection with the enactment of laws on anti-corruption, on the reversion of civil servants’ property to the government, the issues of understanding the role of the prosecutor involved in civil proceedings acquire particular importance. In addition, civil liability has been established for offenses, e.g., in the form of liquidation of a legal entity by a court decision issued at the request of the prosecutor. The prosecutor is empowered to initiate the consideration of a case by the court upon the request to bring the perpetrator to civil liability, and the practice of considering such cases by the courts is being formed. In this regard, it is necessary to investigate the identified problem. The aim of this study was to analyze the approaches in the science of prosecutor’s activities, to form a conception of the prosecution by the prosecutor of persons who, according to the prosecutor, are guilty of committing an offense in the consideration of cases by courts in civil proceedings. As a result of the study, the features of the prosecutor’s participation in anti-corruption cases in civil proceedings that characterize the prosecutor’s activities as the prosecution of persons accused – by the prosecutor – of committing corruption offenses have been established. Attention has been drawn to other categories of civil cases in which the prosecutor also conducts prosecution. It has been emphasized that the prosecution is conducted only if the prosecutor applies to the court with a statement of claim, but not in the case of joining the case to give an opinion. The conclusion is made that there are theoretical and legal preconditions for separating the prosecution by the prosecutor in the civil procedural order. The established patterns and findings are aimed at ensuring the unity of approaches to defining the aims and objectives of the prosecutor’s activities in diverse directions, which contributes to increasing the efficiency of the prosecutor’s activities as a whole.
