New proposals of the Government of the Russian Federation on reorganisation of the territories with traditional nature use by indigenous peoples require analysis and discussion among the scientific community. The legislative model of federal, regional and municipal territory with traditional nature use are developed and described by applying comparative law tools. Through the methods of statistical analysis, emerging tendencies on actual implementation of the rights of indigenous peoples to use the land and other natural resources within the borders of these areas and within the territories of their native residence, which are not considered to be territories of traditional nature use legally, are illustrated. For the new economic environment in Russia, which is oriented on increasing exploration of the North resources, it is necessary to back up exercising of the rights of indigenous minorities guaranteed by the Article 69 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. In particular, on the federal level there should be established general principle characteristics of the legal regime on the territory with traditional nature use similar to a subject in the territorial division of the Russian Federation. The integral legal regime of the territories with traditional nature use should include obligatory formation of such territorial units in the settlements of indigenous peoples, taking into account the current land and other natural resources management within the traditional economy as well as creation of a set of constraints in the others' economic activity, primarily, subsoil users and timber producers, within the territories with traditional nature use. The use of natural resources based on payment, authorization and licensing should be abolished for the indigenous peoples living in the territories with traditional nature use. It follows from the declaration of specific property right -an ethno-communal, non-marketed form of ownership of indigenous peoples of the land and other natural resources (another form of ownership provided by the Article 9(2) of the Constitution of the Russian Federation).

The article discusses openness of the results of the law-making activities that local government performs. Currently in Russia there is an electronic platform that allows to get access to the whole system of municipal legal acts in a unified form. In turn, legal regulation in this field is quite ambiguous and is not featured with framework of categories and concepts. The "Municipal Legal Acts of the Krasnoyarsk Krai" electronic information system is offered as a possible solution to the problem. Its structure includes two user interfaces, one of which is intended for the access of the citizens of the municipal unit and other interested persons to the database of municipal legal acts. The second one is intended for municipal officers, which form this database. The functional features of the electronic information system and the logic of a database building allow users to observe the current edition of a municipal legal act, view the history of the changes made to it, as well as track the links arising between acts in the process of law-making activities of local governments. Unlike most analogues, this system allows to store and publish legal acts with individual content, as well as, if necessary, to ensure their confidentiality. The implementation of such a system in the practice of municipalities has anticorruption potential, which is expressed in increasing the legal awareness of the population of the municipality, enhancing public control over the activities of local governments, as well as providing independent anti-corruption expertise of municipal regulations and their projects.

The article examines the problems of legal regulation of the prohibition for officials to open and have accounts (deposits), store cash and valuables in foreign banks located outside Russia, own and (or) use foreign financial instruments, associated with the extension of this prohibition to deputies of legislative authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Based on the analysis of current federal and regional legislation, the authors have identified various approaches to the formation of a list of public offices at the level of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. It was also found that the provisions of regional normative legal acts determine the effect of this prohibition in different ways in a circle of persons and often extend it only to those deputies of the legislative (representative) authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation who exercise their powers on an ongoing basis. The existing practice of regional rulemaking contradicts the goals of ensuring the national security of the state, for the achievement of which the considered prohibition was established, since all deputies, regardless of the basis for filling the corresponding position, have equal powers to participate in the activities of the collegial body by implementing law-making initiatives and voting on the agenda of the meeting. The authors come to the conclusion that issues concerning the spread of anti-corruption standards of conduct to certain categories of persons holding government positions in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation cannot be attributed to the subject of joint jurisdiction. In this regard, at the level of federal legislation, it is necessary to provide a provision for the extension of this prohibition to deputies of the legislative authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation who exercise their powers both on a permanent and non-permanent basis.
