Annotation: The article analyzes the socio-legal nature of a criminal record and its legal consequences, enshrined in criminal legislation and in federal laws of other industry affiliation. The relevance of this analysis is due to the insufficiently consistent position of the legislator in terms of determining the legal nature of the institution of criminal record, as well as the discussion existing in the theory of criminal law regarding the prospects for its preservation in criminal legislation. The subject of the study is a range of theoretical problems related to the study of criminal record as a structural element of the mechanism of criminal law regulation. The purpose of the work is to obtain new knowledge that contributes to the further development of the doctrine of the socio-legal nature of criminal record and the peculiarities of its legal connection with punishment. The research is based on general scientific (system-structural, formal-logical) and special legal methods of cognition. The substantive part of the work consists of the results of the study of the legal nature of a criminal record in the meaning of a legal fact-state, as well as in the meaning of one of the coercive measures of a restrictive nature embodied in the matter of criminal law and in regulatory legal acts of other industry affiliation (federal laws). The scientific novelty consists of the provisions formulated by the author aimed at the possible reform of the institution of criminal record, giving it the status of a purely sectoral criminal law phenomenon. Revealing the peculiarities of the legislative regulation of the institution of criminal record in the norms of the General and Special parts of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, the author formulates a conclusion about the need to take into account its criminal and general legal consequences exclusively when solving issues that constitute the institution of punishment and its purpose.

Keywords: criminal law, Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, mechanism of criminal law regulation, legal fact, crime, punishment, criminal record.

Abstract: The study of the principles of labor law traditionally arouses considerable interest of the scientific community. In the last 20 years alone, eleven dissertation studies have been conducted on the relevant issue. However, a comprehensive analysis of the implementation of the principles of labor law in relations with the participation of foreign citizens has not yet been carried out. Within the framework of one article, it is impossible to analyze the implementation of all the principles of labor law in relations with the participation of foreign citizens. Therefore, for the purposes of this work, we have chosen to study the implementation of such a fundamental principle as the prohibition of forced labor. The relevance of the research topic is due to the fact that for reasons related, among other things, to a low legal culture, employers often violate this principle in relations with foreign citizens. In connection with the above, the purpose of this work is to disclose the content of the principle of prohibition of forced labor and answer the question of why the foreign citizenship of an employee leads to difficulties in implementing this principle, as well as in the formation of a legislative mechanism to counteract the involvement of foreign citizens in forced labor. The subject of the study is the norms of legislation that directly or indirectly ensure the implementation of the principle of prohibition of forced labor, including in relations with the participation of foreign citizens. The research was conducted on the basis of methods of comparative analysis and synthesis, structural and functional analysis, formal legal analysis, as well as general scientific methods of cognition. The scientific novelty of the study consists in a comprehensive analysis of the implementation of the principle of prohibition of forced labor in relations with the participation of foreign citizens and the formulation of proposals to improve the current legislation, as well as the conclusion that measures designed to protect foreign citizens from forced labor in the form of the obligation to work when wages are delayed are rather formal, declarative. In connection with the above, it is proposed, firstly, to extend the terms established by legal acts for foreign citizens to search for a new job in cases where the reason for the termination of the employment contract was a complete or partial delay in the payment of wages. Secondly, it is proposed to establish a ban on hiring new foreign citizens by employers who have been brought to administrative responsibility for non-payment or incomplete payment of wages within the prescribed period

Keywords: the principle of law, forced labor, protection from unemployment, assistance in employment, foreign worker
