Problems of realisation of the Russian Federation state policy concerning compatriots abroad

Abstract

Having thoroughly analyzed the problem the author claims that there are still some considerable lacunas in legislation and the adopted laws are imperfect, intricate and unfeasible at times. Supporting Russian compatriots abroad, protecting their rights and legal interests must be one of the long-termpriorities of the external state policy. The article encompasses a series of theoretical conclusions and propositions which are of great interest not only in a scientific area but also in lawmaking and law enforcement activities.
