The article deals with the study of the issue of diplomatic counterculture the definition of which the author introduces into scientific use. The breach of protocol takes place either due to its ignorance, which is non-typical for professional politicians, or for a public demonstration of zero tolerance to particular political objectives. In this context, the meeting of the Polish charge d’affaires with a representative of the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Affairs (NKID) in Moscow dated February 1, 1995 is of special interest. The latter demanded from the diplomat to comment behavior of some members of the diplomatic corps, who didn’t stand up when signing the Internationale (anthem in that period) during one of the official events. Another NKID’s complaint against the diplomatic corps concerned the reluctance of diplomats to stand up for greeting the Soviet vozhds (leaders), including J.V. Stalin who didn’t hold any official leadership post in the system of the Soviet state. In the author’s opinion, J.V. Stalin was one among Soviet politicians of the most sophisticated improvisers, professionally manipulating the norms of diplomatic protocol and etiquette. In 1939, J. Ribbentrop had talked about vozhd as a man with extraordinary power. Stalin managed to daze Minister of Foreign Affairs of German and, in August 1942, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom W. Churchill marked Stalin’s hospitality at a dinner in the Kremlin and offered to drink to his health. It has been found that one of the blatant cases of diplomatic counterculture is the conduct of N.S. Khrushchev during the meeting at the United Nations General Assembly in 1960. “Shoe diplomacy” didn’t raise the credibility of the Soviet leader in the minds of the global community. The ignorance of protocol rules may lead to the loss of the reputation of a government leader, and as a consequence, negatively affect the country’s image, its attractiveness, which is a hallmark of the “softpower” of the state.

The article is devoted to research the actual procedural grounds for appellate review of court decisions in criminal proceedings of Ukraine. As a result of the study of these criteria for appellate review of court decisions, the authors concluded that the domestic legislator rightly singles out such grounds, as they cover violations related to evidence in criminal proceedings. The legal nature of the incompleteness of the trial and the inconsistency of the court’s conclusions with the actual circumstances of the criminal proceedings are given. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the incompleteness of the trial covers violations related to the shortcomings of criminal procedure in the collection and verification of evidence. Instead, the inconsistency of the court’s conclusions with the actual circumstances of the criminal proceedings concerns judicial errors in the assessment of evidence and improper motivation of court decisions. The manifestations of these factual procedural grounds for appellate review of court decisions are analyzed. The procedural consequences of establishing signs of incompleteness of the trial and inconsistency of the court’s conclusions with the actual circumstances of the criminal proceedings are singled out. Analyzing the relevant norms of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, the Criminal Procedure Code of other states, as well as the views of researchers, the authors present their vision of the issues included in the subject of research. The necessity of improving the criminal procedure legislation of Ukraine, which regulates the incompleteness of the trial and the inconsistency of the court’s conclusions with the actual circumstances of the criminal proceedings, is substantiated.

The article analyzes the concepts of «coercion», «measures of criminal procedural coercion», «measures to ensure criminal proceedings» and their relationship. The measures of procedural coercion, which the court can most often apply to the participants in court proceedings in a criminal case, as well as the procedure for postponing the trial in connection with their (measures of procedural coercion) are studied. Proposals for improving the criminal procedure legislation of Ukraine in this direction have been formulated. Measures of criminalprocedural coercion are procedural means of state-legal coercion defined by the criminal-procedural law, applied by the authorized bodies conducting criminal proceedings, in the order clearly defined by the law concerning persons, for the purpose of achievement of efficiency of criminal proceedings. The concept of “measures to ensure criminal proceedings” in its own right the content and scope do not cover the category of precautionary measures and other mea sures procedural coercion. In our opinion, the concept of «criminal measures procedural coercion “and” measures to ensure criminal proceedings «are not identical: under the current CPC of Ukraine measures procedural coercion is a component of criminal security measures proceedings, and, consequently, to some extent, a narrower concept. They are correlated between themselves as a whole and part. However, before proceeding to the analysis of each of the measures of coercion we have identified, let us pay attention to the important procedural provisions that the judge is obliged to remember when applying this or that measure. The court may impose measures of procedural coercion on the person, which in turn will postpone the trial.

The article is devoted to security constructions such as fiduciary transfer of ownership and retention of ownership by the seller under a contract of sale within the framework of European private law. The author points out that the transfer of ownership for security purposes is a security right, at the same time the retention of the legal title should be qualified as a quasi-security right, because the security property interest in it is not transferred by the debtor to the creditor, but is being retained by a seller. It was found that the security transfer of ownership as a means of ensuring the fulfilment of the obligation has both incentive and compensatory functions unlike the retention of title security instrument which only encourages the buyer to fulfill the obligation paying for the goods by retaining ownership by the seller. It has been shown that in contrast with transfer of ownership as security right which allows the creditor to satisfy his property interest at the expense of security property, retention of ownership by the seller enables the seller to satisfy such interest at the expense of ownership until full payment. This article highlights the German and French civil law governing the enforcement of security arrangements for the transfer of ownership and the retention of ownership by the seller. It is concluded that the distinguishing features of these security institutions related to: default remedies of creditor, the transfer of ownership moment, and claiming property from the bankruptcy estate of the debtor.

The positions of the common and foreign scientists regarding the attempt to commit a crime are analyzed.
