Some relevant aspects of the food security legal regulation in the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russian Federation

Abstract

In this article, the authors associate the actual purchase of food for the internal affairs bodies with a rather complicated situation that affects the activities of agricultural producers in the context of self-isolation of citizens and the introduction of “food” sanctions and retaliatory sanctions on the part of Russia. The scientific analysis of the basic legal categories “state contract” and “state order” is carried out. Among scholars in the modern scientific legal and economic doctrine there is no consensus on the content of the above terms. The authors’ interpretation of the concept of “state order” is given as a proposal for discussion of the scientific community. The study focuses on the issue of concluding and executing government contracts for the purchase of food by a separate federal state institution of the system of internal affairs bodies.
