The analysis of the application of the norms of international law in relation to the establishment of the legal status of refugees, their protection, granting of asylum in the Russian legal system is carried out. Conclusions are drawn about the inconsistency of some norms of national law with universal norms. Problems are identified at the term level. The necessity of supplementing the concept of «refugee» with new categories and features, such as armed conflicts in the country of habitual residence, is substantiated. In support of this thesis, an overview of Russian judicial practice is given. It is concluded that from a legal point of view, both at the universal and at the national levels, a very effective system of assistance to refugees has developed. However, in practice, when the need arises to implement such norms, numerous difficulties arise. It is recommended to solve these problems by eliminating the inconsistency of norms at different levels. The 1951 Convention has ceased to meet the needs and realities of the modern world order. The need to revise the entire system of norms in this area, and the implementation of innovations in national laws is revealed. The role of cooperation between the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and the national departments of the Russian Federation is analyzed, and the significant role of the Agency in improving the legislative framework of the Russian Federation is indicated. It is recommended to develop mandatory rules regarding the procedure for granting refugee status. It is proposed to give more legal force to the New York Declaration adopted in 2016, which fully fills the gaps in this area, but at the moment it is only advisory in nature. The tightening of the rules for granting legal status to refugees as a result of the analysis of current trends in the migration policy of Russia is revealed. It is recommended to find a balance of interests in terms of the ratio of the principles of sovereignty and respect for human rights and freedoms.
