The article studies the general description of the modern Russian concept of human rights in dynamics. The authors use the established methodological approaches to the analysis of human rights: in the objective sense, as an established system of human rights, and in the subjective sense, as claiming for specific benefits, action, behaviour. There are ‘new’ rights and freedoms of man and citizen, such as human right to insolation (right to sunlight). Based on this methodological approach, the authors understand this right in an objective sense as the set of rules governing the legal relations in the field of insolation. Thus, the right to insolation is interpreted as a legal regime, characterised by a set of rules that provide a certain level of solar energy. In the subjective sense, the right to sunlight is a combination of powers belonging to the individual in the realisation of their ability to use sunlight. The authors believe that the right to insolation is complex and is a component of the right to health, the right to housing, the right to favourable environment, etc. for the best implementation of its need to consolidate and develop in federal law. © Siberian Federal University.
