Relevance. The ongoing procedural revolution has affected virtually all spheres of our state's life, identifying priorities for the further development of procedural and legal principles in the implementation of constitutional rights and freedoms of citizens, their observance and protection. Against this background, the role and significance of the legal process is increasing in every possible way, one of the structural elements of which is the procedural regime, which has not yet been sufficiently scientifically developed, due to which it is limited in the use of its protective potential.

The purpose is to justify the place and role of the procedural regime in the legal process, focusing on the existing problems of this plan and ways to resolve them.

Objectives follow from the goal and consist of research based on sources on the legal regime of the features of the procedural regime, its place in the structure of the legal process and its role in achieving the goals of the latter.

Methodology. The methodological basis of the study is based on general scientific, specific scientific and special legal techniques and methods of scientific knowledge. The formal legal method is used in the analysis of procedural rules that enshrine the elements of the procedural regime in legal sources; the interpretative method is used in clarifying and explaining the legal position of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation regarding the role of procedural deadlines as procedural guarantees.

Results. The procedural regime, as a special order of procedural and legal regulation of the activities of subjects and participants in the legal process, is an integral part not of the procedural form, but of the legal process due to the primary nature of the latter and the derivative nature of the procedural form.

Conclusion. The conducted research gives grounds to consider the procedural regime as a structural element of the content of the legal process; it creates optimal conditions for the participants of this process for the legal resolution of legal cases.

Relevance. The analysis of the historical and legal aspects of the adoption of the Constitution of the RSFSR in 1925, which played a key role in shaping the legal and political landscape of the Soviet Union and left a legacy that continues to influence the modern understanding of law and the state in Russia, is especially relevant in modern Russia. Studying it allows us to better understand both historical processes and modern challenges in the field of law and politics.

The purpose of the research consists in revealing the features, conditions and procedure for the adoption of the Constitution of the RSFSR in 1925.

The objectives are to identify the socio-political conditions in which the Constitution was adopted, as well as to analyze the key norms and principles enshrined in the Constitution, including the rights and freedoms of citizens, the structure of government and governance mechanisms.

Methodology. The methodological basis is determined by the historical and legal nature of the study, based on the principles of historicism, a systematic approach and objectivity in understanding the historical and legal heritage of the Constitution of the RSFSR of 1925.

The results are of a historical and applied nature and consist in a scientific understanding of the perception of the events of the consideration and adoption of the Constitution of the RSFSR of 1925, the legal characterization of its content.

Conclusion. The study of historical documents contributes to the formation of citizens' legal awareness, contributing to their active participation in political life and the formation of civil society. The Constitution of the RSFSR of 1925 was an important legal document in the history of the Soviet state, which not only reflected the ideas of the socialist system, but also became the basis for the formation of the rule of law in the Soviet Union, becoming a step towards the formation of the Soviet legal system

Relevance. Highlighting the information security of the state at the legislative level as a new national priority requires improving its legal support. Only the development of a comprehensive legal platform from basic federal legal acts to detailed regulatory legal acts will create effective conditions for the implementation of this strategic national priority of the Russian Federation. The features and specifics of this priority must necessarily be taken into account when developing its regulatory legal acts.

The purpose of the study is to identify mechanisms for improving the effectiveness of legal regulation in the field of information security in the Russian Federation.

Objectives: to study the content of the main regulatory legal acts in the field of information security in Russia; to analyze the state of domestic legal support for information security; to assess the possibility of increasing the effectiveness of legal support for information security of the foundations of Russian statehood.

Methodology. When writing the work, methods of analysis and synthesis, general scientific (logical) techniques and tools of a systematic approach were used.

The results of the study. The study found that without proper legal support, it is impossible to guarantee the implementation of a new national priority – the information security of the Russian Federation. The necessity of taking measures to improve the effectiveness of legal regulation of this sphere of relations is substantiated.

Conclusion. For the effective development, functioning and security of domestic digital platforms, it is necessary for the legislator to define clear definitions of the main (key) concepts in the field of information security, which is only a fundamental beginning to the development of a comprehensive legal framework in this area. It is also necessary for the federal regulators (FSB of Russia, FSTEC of Russia) to further study the existing legal acts in this area in order to optimize them through detailed regulation.

Relevance. The study of the judicial procedure for the imposition of administrative punishments is particularly relevant in connection with the widespread discussion in the theory of administrative law and procedure about the role of the court as an administrative jurisdiction body, rethinking the understanding of justice in administrative cases, as well as the need to optimize the court workload associated with the consideration of cases of administrative offenses.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate a critical assessment of the imposition of administrative punishments by courts in simplified judicial proceedings.

Objectives. To achieve the purpose of the study, the following tasks were set: to give a general description of simplified judicial proceedings, to identify the signs of simplified judicial proceedings in cases of administrative offenses, to characterize some of the problems of implementing the procedure for imposing administrative punishments in simplified judicial proceedings, to give a critical assessment of simplified judicial proceedings in relation to the essence of the institution of administrative liability.

Methodology. The methodological basis of the research includes general scientific techniques and methods of cognition, as well as special and private scientific methods, including dialectical, formal legal (dogmatic), historical, etc.

Results. The study demonstrates the inconsistency of simplified judicial proceedings with the essence of the institution of administrative liability and justice in cases of bringing to public liability, as well as the inexpediency of appealing to justice to resolve the issue of imposing administrative punishments in cases currently being considered by arbitration courts in simplified proceedings.

Conclusion. The author of the article puts forward the thesis about the need to abolish simplified judicial proceedings in cases of administrative offenses and transfer cases considered by arbitration courts in simplified proceedings to the jurisdiction of non-judicial public authorities by applying the criterion proposed by the author.

The relevance of the study is related to the absence in Russian legal doctrine of a comprehensive analysis of the causes of law enforcement asymmetry, including the subjective interpretation of the “interests of the child” and the lack of procedural criteria for assessing parental competence. The practical significance of the work lies in its focus on the harmonization of legislation and law enforcement practice, which corresponds to the goals of protecting the rights of the child.

Objective. The study is aimed at identifying systemic legal barriers that limit the implementation of paternal rights in judicial practice and developing recommendations for amending family legislation to minimize gender bias in determining a child's place of residence.

Objectives. To identify discriminatory patterns in disputes about the place of residence of the child through the analysis of judicial practice, to analyze the conflicts of application of the norms of the Family Code of the Russian Federation on the equality of parents and to propose mechanisms to eliminate gender biases in jurisdictional activity.

Methodology. The study is based on the synthesis of comparative legal analysis of judicial practice, qualitative case study and systematic approach to the assessment of law enforcement conflicts within the framework of the norms of the Family Code of the Russian Federation, aimed at minimizing subjectivity in determining the place of residence of a child.

Results. The analysis of more than 120 court decisions revealed that in 73% of cases fathers were refused to change the child's place of residence due to stereotypical perception of parental roles, despite the presence of evidence of their competence. We developed criteria for assessing the “interests of the child” (attachment, conditions of upbringing, psychological expertise) and proposed amendments to Article 66 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation, enshrining the presumption of joint custody as a mechanism for minimizing gender bias.

Conclusion. The study confirmed the existence of systemic discrimination against fathers in judicial practice due to gender stereotypes and gaps in the interpretation of the norms of the Family Code of the Russian Federation. As a legal solution, a model of harmonization of legislation through the presumption of joint custody, standardization of parental competence assessment and amendments to Article 66 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation is proposed.

Relevance. The relevance of using artificial intelligence in interpreting legislation is due to the exponential growth of unstructured data, the increase in their importance, as well as the increasing complexity of legal problems being solved. The use of artificial intelligence in interpreting legislation provides the opportunity to improve the quality of justice. To implement automatic meaningful processing of information, it is necessary to solve a set of scientific problems on the legal and technological aspects of using artificial intelligence.

The purpose of the study is to formulate scientifically based conclusions that determine the directions for solving the scientific problem of using artificial intelligence in interpreting legislation based on an analysis of the content of the structure of the legal norm and the processes of information processing in heuristic and neuromathematical cognitive systems of information processing.

Objectives: to determine the common features and differences of the processes of interpretation of legislation in heuristic and neuromathematical cognitive systems of artificial intelligence; to develop proposals for improving the regulatory framework for the interpretation of legislation, taking into account the possibility of using automatic semantic processing of information in computer systems, as well as for the development of technological methods of semantic interpretation of civil law norms in artificial intelligence systems.

Methodology. The methodological basis of the scientific research was the dialectical method of cognition of phenomena and processes of the surrounding reality. In the course of developing the theoretical provisions of the work, a set of general scientific and specific scientific research methods (formal-logical, prognostic, formal-legal, etc.) was used to solve the interdisciplinary scientific problem of determining the prospects for the use of artificial intelligence in the interpretation of legislation and automation of procedures for semantic processing of information in legal systems.

Results. The obtained research results provide the opportunity to improve the regulatory and technological framework that establishes the principles of using artificial intelligence in interpreting legislation.

Conclusion. The solution to the problem of using artificial intelligence in interpreting legislation requires the development of new legal norms and regulations, as well as the improvement of information technologies in terms of verifying the rules of production of heuristic artificial intelligence systems and verbalizing artificial neural networks.

Relevance. The author considers this topic due to the fact that today the state is facing the task of creating a sustainable economy capable of being efficient and independent in the global market. Import substitution and stimulation of domestic producers in the sphere of industrial production, introduction of innovative technologies are very important for the fulfilment of this task, which is the focus of special efforts of the authorities. These directions are of great importance in the presence of anti-Russian sanctions by a number of unfriendly countries.

The purpose of the study is to identify and solve problems related to the conclusion and execution of investment contracts at the regional level.

Objective: the study are to clarify the role of the subjects of the Russian Federation in the implementation of special investment contracts.

Methodology. The article is carried out on the basis of methods traditional for legal research, including universal (philosophical), general scientific, special and borrowed methods of scientific and legal cognition.

Results. The positive aspects of the influence of investment contracts on the socio-economic development of the subjects of the Russian Federation have been revealed: the emergence of new jobs in the regions, attraction of investments, etc. It is established that the stimulation of investors to conclude special investment contracts favourably affects the state of the economy of the regions of the Russian state.

Conclusion. The author's research has shown the necessity of making changes in the Russian legislation regulating the relations arising at the conclusion of special investment contracts.

Relevance. The article examines the models of protection of human voice by criminal and civil legislation. There is an unsettled legal relationship in the case of synthesizing a human voice using artificial intelligence technologies without the consent of its owner. In the criminal law aspect, attention is drawn to the problem of the mass use of deepfake technology (image and/or voice substitution) for the purpose of committing crimes. Examples of judicial practice are given, confirming the need for legislative amendments regulating the distribution and use of generative content containing someone else's voice. The draft laws submitted to the State Duma of the Russian Federation related to the illegal use of a fake human voice created by a neural network are evaluated.

The purpose of the study is to establish the content of the protection of human voice by legal norms and to supplement scientific knowledge in this part.

Objectives: to identify the legal means of protecting a person's voice; to identify the shortcomings of current legislation and projected laws; to summarize judicial practice on the subject of research; to update the proposals of theorists and lawmakers to improve the protection of the voice as an intangible asset.

Methodology. When writing the article, the author used methods of analysis and synthesis, analysis of judicial practice, formal legal, formal logical methods and the method of interpretation of legal norms.

The results of the study are applied in nature and show that the issues of protecting a person's voice if it has been processed by artificial intelligence have not been resolved by law. A synthesized voice modified through deepfake technology is a means of committing many serious and especially serious crimes, which requires the attention of the legislator.

Conclusion. Taking into account scientific discussions, proposals concerning amendments to current legislation and adjustments to draft laws submitted to the State Duma of the Russian Federation are formulated to ensure civil protection of the synthesized human voice and counteraction by means of criminal law to the commission of crimes using the generated voice.

Relevance. In the last decade, the focus of scientific research has shifted from specific issues to fundamental and interdisciplinary ones. For this reason, scholars in criminal law increasingly turn to fundamental categories, traditionally including crime and the elements of a crime. Modern discussions on the elements of a crime (its essence, structure, characteristics, etc.) necessitate a return to the origins of this category's formation and an analysis of the determinants that influenced changes in its content.

The purpose of this study is to justify the dependence of the content of the fundamental category of "elements of a crime" on the scientific paradigm.

Objectives: To analyze and compare the historical shifts in scientific paradigms and the modifications of the category of "elements of a crime" in criminal law science; to identify the specific features of understanding the elements of a crime in a given historical period.

Methodology. The study is based on the historical method, which made it possible to establish a connection between the prevailing scientific paradigm at a certain stage in the development of criminal law science and the understanding of the elements of a crime. Additionally, other general scientific methods were used, including analysis, synthesis, induction, and deduction.

Results. The study has proven that with the development of the theory of knowledge, specifically with changes in modes of thinking, the concept of the elements of a crime has also evolved.

Conclusion. The historical changes in types of thinking (the prevailing philosophical method of cognition) initially led to the transfer of the elements of a crime from the procedural to the substantive domain. Later, it facilitated the integration of subjective and objective aspects within it and ultimately transitioned from a set of subjective and objective characteristics of a real phenomenon to an informational model that describes a complexly structured crime.

Relevance. The adoption by the state of decisive measures to revive and strengthen fundamental spiritual and moral values is the most important vector of activity capable of strengthening the all-Russian civil identity, preserving the sovereignty of the state, and ensuring a strong intergenerational bond of the people. Social memory occupies a significant place in the system of such values. It serves as a tool through which the assimilation of spiritual heritage, cultural and historical experience and, as a result, the identification of society takes place. In recent years, social memory has been in the area of close attention of the researcher. In this regard, the criminal law is no exception, which contains a whole series of criminal law norms that ensure its protection from socially dangerous encroachments. At the same time, it is possible to assess the sufficiency and effectiveness of the relevant prohibitions only after the development of provisions justifying social memory as an object of criminal law protection, which, in turn, necessitates the definition of the concept of this phenomenon.

The purpose of the study is to determine the essence of social memory and formulate a scientifically based definition of this concept.

Objektives: to identify and systematize scientific approaches to understanding social memory; to identify and disclose the essential features that form the content of the concept of social memory; to formulate a definition of this concept.

Methodology. When writing the work, methods of analysis and synthesis, a systematic approach, cultural, sociological, axiological, historical and formal legal methods of cognition were used.

Results. In the course of the study, the signs are highlighted and the definition of the concept of social memory is formulated.

Conclusion. Social memory is a key factor in preserving the all-Russian civic identity, ensuring the connection of generations and the unity of our people, and affirming the inviolability of Russia in the global space. Such a role is feasible under the condition of proper legal provision of social memory, which dictates the need for its clear justification as an object of criminal law protection. This, in turn, requires understanding the essence of social memory, defining its features and concepts.

Relevance. The increased level of motorization of the population, significant changes in the automotive industry, as well as the introduction of artificial intelligence into the road transport infrastructure determine the improvement of road safety as one of the main tasks of any state. The current situation, as well as the material and moral damage caused by the commission of road accidents and crimes to both society as a whole and individual citizens, necessitate a timely comprehensive study of the indicators of the state and situation of both road accidents and road traffic crimes in order to establish general patterns and correlations, as well as to develop current recommendations for their prevention.

The purpose of the study is to supplement scientific knowledge regarding the study of the determination of road accidents and traffic crimes.

Objectives: to establish common factors determining the commission of road accidents and traffic crimes.

Methodology. The research was conducted based on the use of a systematic approach, through methods of generalization, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, generalization of judicial practice, statistical and system-analytical methods.

The results. The analysis of the main indicators characterizing the state and situation of road accidents and traffic crimes allowed us to identify the factors determining their commission. The results of the study are of a theoretical and applied nature and can be used to develop a set of measures to prevent the negative social phenomena under consideration.

Conclusion. The results of the study indicate the identical nature of the factors determining the commission of road accidents and traffic crimes, which include: delinquent behavior of road users, driver intoxication, insufficient control over compliance with traffic regulations by law enforcement agencies, unsatisfactory condition of road infrastructure and vehicles, adverse weather conditions, improper traffic management. It is concluded that it is possible to fill in the gaps in statistical data on road traffic crimes by referring to statistical accounting forms for road accidents.

Relevance. The problem of the crisis in the relations of the Russian Federation with the states of Central Europe remains one of the factors of destabilization of modern international relations. The Visegrad Four Community of states demonstrates by its example the inconsistency and inconsistency in shaping the strategy of relations with modern Russia. Designing a model of communication between the Russian side and the Visegrad Group countries requires a full-fledged understanding. The current change in the positions of the Governments of Hungary and Slovakia regarding the possibility of restoring cooperation with Russia leads to an expansion of the field of scientific research on this topic. The purpose of the study is to analyze the evolution of the position of the Visegrad Group states regarding maintaining relations with the Russian Federation.

Research objectives: analysis of the evolution of the position of the Visegrad Group states regarding the maintenance of relations with the Russian Federation.

Methodology. The work uses comparative, structural and functional methods, as well as the method of content analysis.

The results of the study. The content of the current crisis in the relations of the Visegrad Four member states in Russia is the general context of the development of the political process on the European continent. The main transformations of multilateral relations are dictated by the clash of interests of political elites and contradictions between the dominant social ideologies in the post-socialist states of Central Europe.

Conclusions. As a result of the study, the conclusion is formulated that the factor of relations with the Russian Federation in a situation of a full-scale international crisis acquires the importance of the dominant condition for preserving the internal unity of the Visegrad Group as a specific subject of regional policy. The divergence of positions towards Russia's perception among the member states complicates the possibility of restoring the influence and importance of the association as an actor of integration processes in Central Europe. The desire to turn the Visegrad Four into a component of the anti-Russian strategy of the Atlantic powers results in the erosion of this regional association and its delegitimization as a full participant in international relations.

The relevance of the work is determined by the importance of scientific understanding of the role and place of non-temple religious practices in the confessional history of the Soviet society.

The purpose of the research is to analyze the features of the phenomenon of pilgrimages of believers to water sources in the late Stalinist period.

Objectives: to find out the scale of pilgrimage of Soviet citizens to sources revered as "holy" in the middle of the XX century, to study the motivation of participants of relevant practices, to characterize the attitude of local authorities to such manifestations of religiosity.

Methods. In the course of working with archival documents the author used historical induction, historical description, historical comparison as well as the historical retrospective method.

Results. The paper provides an overview of the cases of veneration of "holy" springs, wells and lakes recorded by the Council for the Affairs of the Russian Orthodox Church in the late 1940s - early 1950s. The most characteristic features of their organization, the peculiarities of the social, gender and age composition of the participants are considered. It is pointed out the borderline nature of the relevant religious practices which were nominally Orthodox, but actually had a pagan component.

Conclusions. Mass gatherings of believers near water sources for ritual purposes were not uncommon in the late Stalinist period. Citizens faced with a shortage of churches and clergy were pushed to such practices by both religious and social motives, including health care. On holidays the number of people at individual "holy" reservoirs in different parts of the country was measured in hundreds or thousands, while real opposition to pilgrimages from local authorities was rare and uncertain.

The relevance. The selection of qualified management personnel for the field of public administration and production organization in modern conditions is a problem that requires a systematic approach. Decades of permanent reform of all spheres of public life have only aggravated the crisis of management at all levels of administrative and power relations. Attempts to solve this problem through adaptive educational and training methods do not bring the expected results. One of the reasons for the current situation is the lack of necessary professional and life experience among those who fill senior positions. In this regard, the experience of the Soviet personnel policy is very instructive and effective. A typical example of successful leadership of such a strategically important branch of the state as railway transport should be considered the biography of the First Deputy Minister of Railways of the USSR N.A. Gundobin, restored by the authors.

The purpose of the study is to present a typical image of an industry leader at the state level of the mid – second half of the twentieth century on the example of a historical reconstruction of the biography of the former First Deputy Minister of Railways of the USSR N.A. Gundobin.

Objectives: to identify the features of the management of domestic railway transport in the period under study; to reveal the role of N.A. Gundobin in the organization of railway transportation and modernization of the industry.

Methodology. The research was based on the principles of objectivity and historicism. The research tasks were solved by the authors through historical-genetic, historical-biographical, historical-systemic and retrospective methods.

Results. The analysis of the source base identified by the authors provided an opportunity to reconstruct the historical portrait of N.A. Gundobin, reflecting his role in the organization of railway transportation, showing the personal and business qualities of the head of the state level.

Conclusions. Exceptional professionalism, hard work, responsible attitude to business and respect for subordinates became the key qualities of N.A. Gundobin's personality, which allowed him to hold a senior position in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR for several decades. Such characteristics must be matched by modern managers who seek to bring real benefits to the Russian state and its people.

Relevance. Regional means of communication, closely connected with the entire infrastructure of the city and being the main link in the coordination of all activities for the restoration and further development of the region, however, were not considered by local historians as a separate object of study. The development of communications was usually considered within the framework of a general study of the development of the Kursk region. In our opinion, this approach shows the interdependence of the development of the region and communications, while omitting the development of the industry as an independent unit, largely independent and in turn determining the standards of construction, electrification of the city, which has a serious impact on the development of mass culture of the population.

Purpose. In the course of the study, to establish the main patterns within which the communications industry of the Kursk region developed in 1946-1975.

Objectives. To study the changes that took place in the structures of telegraph, telephone and postal communications, television broadcasting and radio communications.

Methodology. In the course of the work, such methods of scientific research as induction, analysis, synthesis, comparison were used.

Results. In the course of the study, the main trends and problems in the development of communications in the region were identified.

Conclusion. The study showed that the main problem was the lack of a clear plan for the development of the region's communications facilities. This led to contradictions with other structures and a large number of situations where funds were spent not on creating something new, but on remaking the old. The development of the industry was also slowed down by the lack of specialists with specialized education, a sufficient number of specially equipped and adapted premises for the activity. During the period under study, problems with staff turnover and the quality of public service were also not resolved.

Relevance. The article is devoted to the analysis of the consequences of the implementation of the Law of May 14, 1885, which approved a new procedure for the operation of drinking establishments in Russia. The theoretical and practical significance of the study is indisputable, as it expands the understanding of the modernization of the excise system, emphasizes the importance of taking into account the side effects of transformations in the alcohol sector, and touches on an important historical aspect that should be taken into account when improving modern excise legislation.

The purpose is to indicate the negative consequences of the Law of May 14, 1885 in the drinking trade.

The objectives of the study are to highlight the goals of the drinking transformation, the negative consequences of the Law of May 14, 1885, and identify the reasons why the goals were not achieved. Methodology. The article is based on the principles of historicism, consistency and objectivity. In addition, they applied historical-genetic, historical-typological methods. The combination of these principles and methods ensured the achievement of this goal.

Results. The law of May 14, 1885 was intended to regulate the sale of alcohol and become an obstacle to drunkenness. The study found that the ban on the operation of drinking houses (pubs) led to an increase in the underground alcohol trade. The scale of street drinking has increased. The peasants considered drinking establishments as a rural club, and a feast as a way of communication.

Conclusion. The law of May 14, 1885 had a number of negative consequences that could not be eliminated, preserving the personal interest of the owners of drinking establishments and consumers of alcohol. Both of them found, at least at their own risk, a wide variety of ways not to comply with the restrictive requirements of the law. It was necessary to find more effective measures to regulate the alcohol market, which was done by switching to a state-owned wine operation.

Relevance. During the First World War, patriotic sentiment and support for the autocratic government by the population of the Russian Empire were declining by 1916. Military failures and the prolonged war became the determining factors in the formation of a negative attitude towards the royal family and the autocratic government. This was also facilitated by the hatred of Rasputin, who was accused not only of having a strong negative influence on members of the royal family, but also of spying for Germany. The so-called «ministerial leapfrog» was a reflection of the crisis of power in 1916. The German origin of the Empress also contributed to the formation of a negative attitude towards the royal family, as the people perceived her as a force around which the German party rallied. Ultimately, the indecision and inconsistency of the tsarist regime contributed to undermining the authority of the government.

Purpose. To investigate the reasons that influenced the formation of a negative worldview of Russian society in relation to the autocratic government.

Objectives: to analyze the factors that caused the crisis of autocratic power in 1916.

Methodology. The author's methodology is based on the application of a number of methods: synthesis, analysis, comparative, generalization, ideographic.

Results. In the study, the author characterizes the facts that caused the formation of a negative attitude on the part of the masses of the Russian Empire towards the autocratic government, and determines how this influenced the change in public sentiment.

Conclusion. An analysis of the sources showed that in 1916, the military defeats that resulted from the incompetence of the existing government contributed to the creation of tension in the mood of Russian society. The idea of the need for reforms of the state system, in particular the overthrow of the autocracy, was actively discussed among left-wing groups. The possibility of using the ready-made power of the united zemstvos and cities to influence the authorities after the end of the war was also considered. But the failures at the front, which revealed defects in the supply of the army and in protecting it from military espionage, and the disruption of the economic life of the population as a result of the war, accelerated the implementation of the intentions of leftist figures, creating favorable ground for them to sharply criticize the autocratic government and the government and to make certain political demands on it.

Relevance. The experience of wars and armed conflicts of XX-XXI centuries. showed that during the conduct of hostilities before the command of the most acute issue is not only planning and carrying out operations, but also maintaining the moral and psychological state of the military staff, explaining to soldiers the objectives of combat operations, maintaining discipline and law and order. In this regard, the retrospective analysis of the activities carried out by the political management bodies of the Red Army in the period from May to October 1939 allows us to draw new lessons and conclusions necessary for the organisation of military-political work in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation at their current stage of development.

The purpose is to identify the peculiarities of changes in the party-political work in the units of the 1st Army Group during the armed conflict on the Khalkhin-Gol River.

Objectives: to analyze the main directions of work of the apparatus of the chief of the RKKA GUPP in 1939, the peculiarities of agitation and propaganda work, rallying of military collectives, control over the moods of servicemen, suppression of crimes against military service.

Methodology. The research is based on the principles of objectivity and historicism. The scientific toolkit of the work consists of the following methods of historical research: problem-chronological, historical-comparative, historical-genetic and historical-systemic.

Results. Despite the fact that in 1939 the military-political organs of the Red Army were in a difficult situation due to the expansion of their powers and the lack of trained personnel, during the period of combat operations on the Khalkhin-Gol River the party-political work in the troops was able to quickly restructure itself in accordance with the conditions of combat operations, goals and tasks facing the Soviet armed forces. An important feature of it was the refusal to apply disciplinary and criminal liability for offences against military service.

Conclusions. The activity of the KA GUPPP during the period of military operations on the river Khalkhin-Gol underwent a number of serious changes. If at the beginning of the conflict the political bodies acted in a rather formulaic way, then already by July 1939, a number of serious changes emergedthere was a need for reorientation of work among servicemen.
