The article is devoted to the study of the pricing conditions for the payment for the component of electricity transmission services for industrial enterprises connected to the electric networks of energy producers, and the development of solutions aimed at optimizing the cost of purchasing electricity for the com-ponent of transmission services. Based on three typical configurations of the hourly daily power consumption schedule of industrial enterprises, the weighted average tariffs for the provision of electricity transmission services for the regions included in the Ural and Siberian Federal Districts are calculated. According to the results of the calculation, an increase in the weighted average cost of tariffs for power consumption schedules characterized by high rates of filling the daily load schedule was revealed. This emphasizes the likelihood of an increase in the cost of electricity for some industrial enterprises in comparison with the cost of electricity purchased by enterprises that do not have a direct technological connection to power plant net-works. Taking into account the identified features, a model has been developed for managing the demand for electricity of industrial enterprises connected to the grids of energy producers, based on forecasting and subsequent assessment of the cost parameters of payment for electricity transmission services before and after adjusting the hourly daily power consumption schedules of industrial enterprises, as well as adjusting the hourly power consumption schedules, criteria of economic efficiency, technological capability, systemic stability. The developed solutions allow industrial enterprises connected to the electric grids of energy producers to reduce the cost of electricity, which contributes to increasing the economic efficiency and financial sustainability of their activities.

The article is devoted to questions concerning the role and significance of mining in the development of industry and the economy of the country as a whole. The Republic of Tajikistan has favorable conditions for raising the extractive industry to the world level. This is since a significant part of the country's area is covered with mountains, where there are varieties of mineral resources. At the same time, more than 600 mineral deposits have been identified. One of the most effective industries is the metal mining industry. Moreover, in remote conditions of the highlands, this industry is the only way of ensuring a high level of the social and economic wellbeing of society. The analysis shows that the growth rate of the metal mining industry is up to 183%, which is higher than the growth rate of the industry as a whole. The share of the extractive industry in total industrial output increased from 13.4 to 19.6% during the analyzed period.
This article also discusses the attraction and use of labor resources. The analysis of labor productivity and labor intensity in the mining industry is carried out. We recommend some measures that contribute to the further development of the mining industry.

The aim of the study is to assess the current levels of termination of entrepreneurial activity by women and men in modern national economies. The study solved the problem of determining the values of indicators that characterize the termination of an entrepreneur's activity, as well as the impact on this process of such factors as unprofitability of production and lack of finance. The study used the results of surveys con-ducted in 59 countries during the implementation of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor project as initial information. The results showed that in most countries there is a gender gap between the proportion of adult female entrepreneurs who have terminated their activities and the corresponding indicators for male entre-preneurs. It is proven that almost half of men and women in the countries under review have closed their business due to lack of profit or financial problems.

In modern economic literature, several strategies for the development of enterprises are examined at the theoretical level. However, the strategy of foreign economic activity, as an independent form of strategy, is not acknowledged at all, or not enough attention is paid to it. The purpose of the article is to identify strategies for the foreign economic activity of Russian oil and gas companies, such as Gazprom, Lukoil, Rosneft, and Surgutneftegaz, based on their annual reports and ratings of Russian analytical agencies. The objectives of the study are, firstly, the development of a methodology for analyzing the results of strategies for foreign economic activity, and secondly, the analysis of the implementation results of strategies for foreign economic activity of the mentioned oil and gas companies. As a result of the study, the features of the strategies of foreign economic activity of enterprises in the oil and gas sector were revealed. Their trajectories are shown in the “commodity item – country” coordinate system.

The continuous change in social relations due to the digital transformation of society, in addition to progress, carries a potential danger to the harmonious development of minors. The digitalization of modern society, the transition of minors to communication and learning using the capabilities of information and tel-ecommunication networks requires effective control to minimize the risks of negative consequences.
In this regard, a criminological analysis of the legal regulation of the components of the modern digi-tal environment is presented: social networks, instant messengers, and other means of instant electronic communication. The work aims to explain the degree of completeness and quality of the regulatory framework that ensures the regulation of relations with the use of digital resources and the protection of minors from their negative impact. To achieve this goal, the author's risk-based approach is proposed, which is used in the field of identifying and preventing potential threats from uncontrolled creation and dissemination of information using the means of the modern digital environment.
As a result of the use of dialectical, formal-logical, comparative-legal, and other research methods used in criminology, gaps in the legal regulation of the dissemination of information through digital means of communication have been identified, which can pose a threat to the normal development of minors. The need to develop amendments and additions to the current Russian legislation is substantiated based on the riskbased approach proposed by the authors to ensure the security of the modern digital environment for minors.

The authors substantiate the position of introducing into the criminal procedure legislation of Russia some special rules of criminal proceedings concerning indigenous smallnumbered peoples. It is proposed to make an addition to part 3 of Article 80 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, which establishes the need to obtain an expert opinion on a traditional way of life by a representative of indigenous smallnumbered peoples. The procedure for creating a register of specialists authorized to give such opinions is determined. The study used empirical and theoretical methods such as analysis of the points of view available in the scientific literature on some features of the criminal liability of representatives of indigenous peoples; comparison of the norms of civil and criminal proceedings; observation; analysis of statistics and materials of specific criminal cases. The study made it possible to identify the problem of unjustified criminal prosecution against persons belonging to indigenous minorities, leading a traditional way of life, as well as to comprehensively analyze the situation and offer a solution to the identified problem.

DNA profiling as part of biometric identification systems outside the medical context is used by states upon dealing with family reunification or repatriation. However, the use of genetic testing does not exclude the violation of personal human rights and opens up new problems of protecting confidentiality in the face of progress in IT technologies.
The article discusses the problems associated with the protection of genetic information obtained as a result of DNA analysis, investigates the risks associated with the genetic testing for family reunification or repatriation.
The author concludes that DNA testing in order to exercise the right to family reunification should be carried out only if other ways of obtaining information proving family ties have been exhausted. However, if DNA testing may be the only evidence of a biological link between relatives, then states should encourage such genetic testing to be carried out in the most convenient way and at an affordable price or free of charge. At the same time, the author believes that the DNA test method for establishing ethnicity for repatriation can lead not only to discrimination based on ethnicity but also to other uncontrollable consequences.

It considers their ad-vantages and disadvantages. The article is based on the synthesis of the general scientific methods and specific legal methods. The author gives a positive assessment of the use of international mechanisms for the FPIC implementation, as well as the degree of detail for the legal regulation of the FPIC principle in the mechanisms for the realization of the rights of indigenous peoples. The article concludes on the possibility of partial adaptation of the experience of Latin American countries in Russia since FPIC has a high anti-conflict, mobilization, hu-man rights and integration potential in the realization of the rights of indigenous peoples.

The article describes the legal nature of the powers of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federa-tion in criminal proceedings. Despite a considerable amount of scientific work on the study of various as-pects of the prosecutor‟s activities in criminal proceedings, the powers of the Prosecutor General were not investigated closely. The purpose of the article is to summarize and classify the criminal procedure powers of the Prosecutor General. The article aims to clarify the specifics of the powers of the Prosecutor General in criminal proceedings, their difference from the powers of all other inferior prosecutors. The study is based on the method of structural-functional analysis, according to which all phenomena are studied in connection with systemic laws. Methods such as analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, and formal legal method were also used. As a result, the powers of the Prosecutor General were classified. All powers are summarized into three groups: a) the powers of a superior prosecutor; b) exclusive procedural powers, having a criminal procedure nature and belonging only to the Prosecutor General; c) extraordinary powers, having a complex intersectoral nature (handling ideas about deprivation of immunity).
