In this article, the purpose of the study was to study the state concept of the migration policy of the Russian Federation, which was adopted for 2019-2025. In addition, we analyzed the relationship between the provisions of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, but also with other normative legal acts regulating migration relations in the Russian Federation. In the theoretical part, the main task of the migration policy of the Russian Federation, in connection with the put into effect of the state migration Concept, taking into account the fact that the main directions of the state migration policy and the mechanisms of its implementation actually imply the achievement of the results necessary to normalize relations in the sphere of movement.

Purpose: to prove the necessity of changing the direction of the Russian Federation migration policy towards repatriation and to substantiate the contribution of the new migration policy to the labor resources replacement. Methods: the materials prepared by experts of the IPM «Forum Pereselencheskih Organizacii» («Right to Homeland» project (President of the Russian Federation grant for the development of civil society provided by the Presidential Grants Fund No. 20-2-002592 dated 06 July 2020). Findings: substantiated the necessity of restructuring the migration policy towards repatriation; analyzed the potential effect of the migration policy, built in accordance with the principle of humanity, on the participation of the migrant population in the Russian Federation labor force. Conclusions: The Russian Federation, being at the second stage of depopulation, is forced to take effective measures: taking into account the need to cope with negative socio-economic and demographic trends, Russia should implement measures to attract migrants, especially Russians living abroad, and to ensure their settlement in historical homeland.

This article aims to provide guidelines to the courts of the Member States and the CJEU concerning the authorship of external migration management deals, and the judicial review of such deals based on the general principles of EU law. The selected example of external migration management is the EU-Turkey Deal, which is identified in this article as an example of ‘pseudo-authorship’: the EU is the de facto author of the deal, but the Member States (as pseudo-authors) are regarded by the General Court as the actual authors. The article shows that the pseudo-authorship approach may lead to the circumvention of general principles of EU law. To avoid further erosion of these principles in the wake of any future deals on migration management, a definite need for a serious investigation of authorship exists. This article recommends assessing authorship with the three scenarios in mind that are identified in this article: the EU as only author; the EU as de facto author and the Member States as pseudo-authors; or the Member States as only authors. All three scenarios, it is argued here, induce judicial review based on the general principles of EU law.

The article discusses the recast of the EU Return Directive (2008/115/EC) from the perspective of effectiveness and fundamental rights protection, as two underlying objectives of the Directive. Relying on the implementation assessment of the Directive carried out by the European Parliamentary Research Service, the article analyses the way in which Member States have implemented the Directive and how this has impacted the effectiveness of the Directive. If adopted as proposed, will the recast strengthen or further undermine the effectiveness? The assessment focuses on return decision, voluntary departure, entry ban, and detention. It also looks at omissions in the recast proposal, namely a missed opportunity to remedy the current shortcomings as regards non-returnable people. As the article concludes, the recast proposal will hardly improve the effectiveness of return and may lead to violations of fundamental rights of people in an irregular situation.

Over the past 20 years, integration duties imposed on third-country nationals have spread and become more rigid in EU Member States. They increasingly restrict the conditions for obtain-ing residence permits as well as the benefit of social rights. These integration conditions take on singular forms and raise particular issues in relation to the Association Agreement concluded between the European Union and Turkey, in particular with regard to so-called ‘stand-still clauses’. The present article begins from the A v. Udlaendinge-og Integrationsministeriet case and criticises the Court’s silence about the elephant in the room on the issue of integration conditions towards third-country nationals: racial and/or ethnic discrimination. The case is about an integration condition imposed by the Danish Government as a prerequisite for a ‘family reunion’ residence permit for the spouse of a Turkish worker: the spouses must prove that they have a stronger link with Denmark than with Turkey. The solution adopted by the Court of Justice in striking down this integration condition is not surprising. However, its reasoning suggests more tolerance – or even laxity – about the way the concept of integration is used by the Member States. This situation is problematic insofar as these integration conditions, the very principle of which is questionable per se, conceal increasingly discriminatory and exclusionary measures which the Court is reluctant to denounce, as opposed to the Euro-pean Court of Human Rights.
在过去20年中,强加给第三国国民的一体化义务在欧盟成员国蔓延并变得更加严格。他们越来越多地限制获得居留许可的条件以及社会权利的利益。这些一体化条件具有独特的形式,并引发了与欧洲联盟和土耳其之间缔结的《结盟协定》有关的特殊问题,特别是所谓的“静止条款”。本文从A诉Udlandinge og integration Ministeriet一案开始,批评法院在针对第三国国民的融合条件问题上对房间里的大象保持沉默:种族和/或民族歧视。本案涉及丹麦政府规定的一项融合条件,作为土耳其工人配偶获得“家庭团聚”居留许可的先决条件:配偶必须证明他们与丹麦的联系比与土耳其的联系更紧密。法院在取消这一融合条件时采取的解决办法并不令人惊讶。然而,它的推理表明,会员国对一体化概念的使用方式更加宽容,甚至松懈。这种情况是有问题的,因为这些融合条件本身的原则就有问题,掩盖了法院不愿谴责的日益歧视性和排斥性的措施,而欧洲人权法院则不愿意谴责这些措施。

The legal analysis carried out shows that Art. 3221 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation essentially describes actions not to organize, but to facilitate illegal migration. The blurring of the boundaries between criminal (Art. 3221 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) and administratively punishable (Part 3, Art. 18.9 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation) leads to the fact that under similar actual circumstances the actions of the perpetrators are given a different legal assessment. The implementation of the new norm in practice not only revealed the flaws in the legislative structure, but also called into question the validity of the criminalization of actions related to the organization of illegal migration.

The issues of accessibility and quality of the provision of public services in the field of migration are relevant for every citizen of modern society, as a result of which the improvement of this sphere of activity of the internal affairs bodies is one of the most important areas of increasing the efficiency of their functioning. The transfer of powers to the abolished federal migration service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia served as the starting point for the agency’s active rule-making activities aimed at legal regulation of a new area of activity related to migration relations. The result of this work was a significant number of administrative regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the provision of various kinds of state services in the field of migration. However, not all of the above existing administrative regulations today effectively fulfill their purpose, as a result of which their enforcement needs constant monitoring in order to timely eliminate existing shortcomings, such as the implementation of duplicate administrative actions, redundant functions, etc., which, in the end, may lead to a violation rights and legitimate interests of recipients of public services. In turn, the systematic work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia to improve the quality of the provision of public services in the field of migration will undoubtedly serve to increase public confidence and citizens’ support for the department’s activities. The authors of the article raise the actual problems arising in the implementation of the administrative regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the provision of public services in the field of migration, and suggest some ways to solve them.

The crime under Art. 127.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, it is difficult for a law enforcement officer to qualify this act due to the ambiguity of the interpretation of its constituent objective and subjective signs, as well as due to the lack of a uniform forensic methodology for investigating these actions. These circumstances directly affect the low efficiency of countering these crimes. Based on the analysis of scientific literature and law enforcement practice, the article examines some problematic issues of qualification and investigation of human trafficking, suggests ways of their optimal solution.
