Criminal concomitant sides of funeral services
// The union of criminalists and criminologists.
2014. № 3.
P. 213-219.

Abstract:
The article considers the peculiarities of offences and crimes related to the rendering of funeral services to the population. It is ascertained that the rendering of funeral services is a specific form of entrepreneurship. This activity is regulated by special legislation: the federal law “On the protection of competition”, the federal law “On burial and funeral business”, Presidential decree “On the guarantees of citizens’ rights to burial services”; order of analysis and expertise of the competitive environment on goods markets, established by the order of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of Russia of April 25, 2006 No 108; normative legal acts of local governments, among which the most interesting is the law “On burial and funeral business in Moscow”. The author applies the methods of analysis and synthesis and the dialectical method of cognition. The author ascertains the key features of offences and crimes in the sphere of funeral services. The author proves that entrepreneurship in funeral services is not only a specific form of entrepreneurship, but also a shadow form of economic activity. Therefore, this form of entrepreneurship is doomed to the direct and indirect connection with various abuses and even crimes. At the same time, the Criminal Code contains only one article (244, Outrages upon Bodies of the Deceased and Their Burial Places) which establishes the responsibility in the sphere of funeral services. In all other cases criminal responsibility is imposed on general grounds (official malfeasance, economic crimes).

Abstract:
The article analyzes the legal regime of human organs, tissues and cells. The author analyzes the current national and international legislation, regulating the issues of transplantation of human organs, tissues and cells. Using the examples of national and international legislation, the author demonstrates the peculiarities of private-law acts causa mortem. The author notes that human body can’t be considered as a separate independent object, since during the human’s life it doesn’t exist on its own, but is an integral part of an individual. To achieve the research goals the author applies the general scientific and special methods, including analysis, synthesis, the structural-logical method, the statistical method, the method of comparative-legal analysis, the method of moving from concrete to abstract and other methods of scientific cognition. The author claims that the rights, dealing with the mentioned objects, relate to a special group of rights sui generis – somatic rights. The author argues that in such cases a special legal regime should be applied. The author notes that the rights dealing with these objects can be the object of private-law acts causa mortem with regard for their special legal regime.

A lifetime funeral service contract as a way to prevent the funeral sphere criminalization
// The union of criminalists and criminologists.
2014. № 3.
P. 240-245.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=67290
Abstract:
The article considers the peculiarities of a lifetime funeral services contract. The authors provide its legal qualification as a means of prevention of the funeral sphere criminalization. The paper substantiates the recommendations on the improvement of the federal law draft “On funeral services in the Russian Federation”. As a rule, the law presupposes a written form of a remunerative service contract, according to the clause 1, article 161 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, which runs that the deals between legal entities with the participation of citizens, or between citizens, in sum more than 10 times exceeding the minimal remuneration of labor rate, should be concluded in a written form. To achieve the research goals the authors apply the general scientific and special methods of analysis, synthesis, the structural-logical method and other methods of scientific cognition. The authors conclude that a lifetime funeral service contract is a form of remunerative service agreement in favor of a third person with a suspensive condition. With a view to increase the guarantees of a proper implementation of this treaty it is considered reasonable to legalize a trilateral construction of this contract: one party is a customer and a payer of a funeral service, expressing his will to be buried in a certain place, according to certain traditions; another party is an executor of a contract – a funeral service; the third party is an agent, responsible for the execution of the will of the customer in the case of his death. The third party should gain the status of the ritual services customer.

Abstract:
During the period of its existence, the institution of criminal proceedings commencement has been subjected to the systematical attempts of reforming with the aim to eliminate the prohibition of proceedings and coercion, especially, detention of a suspect prior to the criminal proceedings commencement.

The author applies the methods of analysis, synthesis, the structural-logical and other methods. The author concludes about the need for change of a scientific task. The criminal proceedings science in the subject of criminal prosecution initiation traditionally studies the problems of the stage of criminal proceeding commencement; the most important among them is the admissibility of testing means, investigative actions and measures of procedural coercion prior to the decision about criminal proceedings commencement.

Pretrial cooperation agreement as a tactical criminalistical element of struggle against organized crime
// The union of criminalists and criminologists.
2014. № 3.
P. 250-255.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=67292
Abstract:
The author notes that, due to the worsening of economic situation and the decline of living standards in Russia, the problem of struggle against organized crime becomes especially important. It is confirmed by the data of the Integrated intradepartmental information and statistical system, according to which the amount of preliminarily investigated crimes connected with drug trafficking committed by organized groups had been increasing from the early 2012 till June 2014. Within the struggle against organized crime (on the example of drug trafficking), the author studies the possibility of cooperation between law enforcement officers and the members of criminal groups on the base of the provisions of the article 40.1 of the Penal Code of the Russian Federation “Special procedure of pretrial decision when concluding a pretrial agreement” as a tactical criminalistical element. The author applies general and special scientific methods, including deduction, analysis, synthesis, the structural-logical method, the statistical method, comparative-legal analysis and other methods of scientific cognition. In the author’s opinion, the application of the provisions of the article 40.1 of the Penal Code of the Russian Federation as a tactical means of “encouragement of a person to cooperation by means of a pretrial agreement” can raise the efficiency of struggle against organized crime, particularly in the sphere of drug trafficking. It will also help solve new crimes and impose liability on persons involved in crimes.

Peculiarities of legal structure of the composition of stealage of especially valuable objects

URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=67295
Abstract:
The article considers the peculiarities of the structure of the composition of stealage of especially valuable objects. These peculiarities are determined by the fact that this composition combines various forms of stealage and their compositions differ in the structure of an objective side. Difficulties of the legal structure determination have a negative impact on the establishment of a moment of the finishing of this crime and on the qualification of this crime. Applying general scientific methods of analysis and comparison, the author analyzes the legal structure of the composition of stealing of especially valuable objects and the moment of finishing of this crime. The author suggests to construct all forms of stealage according to the material composition and to change the structure of the composition of robbery. In this case, the composition of stealage of especially valuable objects will be considered material, and the crime will be considered finished since the moment of acquisition of property and the possibility for the guilty person to use the stolen objects.

On the issue of the novels of the criminal law in the light of the theory of criminalization and decriminalization
// The union of criminalists and criminologists.
2014. № 3.
P. 273-276.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=67296
Abstract:
The paper presents the analysis of the modern condition of the criminal law in the light of the theory of criminalization and decriminalization. The author pays significant attention to the tendency of the criminal policy reflecting the processes of criminalization and decriminalization of deeds. The author notes that decriminalization can be carried out by means of exclusion of criminal punishability of a deed and its recognition as a non-socially dangerous or non-illegal, or its transmission to the category of an administrative, disciplinary or civil delict. The application of the historical, formal-logical, and the systems methods of cognition helped the author to analyze the criminal law in the light of the theory of criminalization and decriminalization. The penal law-making drawbacks and the side effects of criminalization can lead to undesirable consequences: the gaps in penal regulation, a redundant repressiveness, the lack of a necessary interpretation. The excessive criminalization undermines two principles of penal policy: the principle of economy of penal repression, due to the fact that criminal liability is imposed on an unreasonably large number of citizens, and the principle of unavoidability of punishment, due to the fact that often such a law is not used in practice.

On the procedural form of pre-trial criminal proceedings in Kazakhstan
// The union of criminalists and criminologists.
2014. № 3.
P. 320-323.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=67304
Abstract:
The draft of a new edition of the Procedural Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan (the Draft) replaces the collective term “preliminary investigation” with “pre-trial” due to the reforming of the system of pre-trial criminal proceedings. The Draft unifies the procedural form of inquiry and preliminary investigation. On these stages the decision is made about the qualification of the suspects’ deed (the analogue of recognition as a suspect), the indictment (in the PCC of the Republic of Kazakhstan – the bill of indictment), but not the protocol of indictment for the inquiry and not the summary protocol of a simplified pretrial proceedings (including bringing as a suspect and bill of indictment). The author applies general and special methods of analysis, synthesis, the structural-logical method, the statistical method, comparative-legal analysis and other methods of scientific cognition. The Draft establishes the strictly determined list of conditions, undermining this form of proceedings. The accelerated investigation is not allowed in the following cases:- The crime is qualified as an especially grave crime- In the cumulative crime at least one of them is especially grave- The crime is committed by the person who doesn’t know the language of the proceedings- The crime was committed against the persons, possessing the privileges or immunity from criminal prosecution- At least one of the accomplices hasn’t admitted his guilt- The crime is committed by the underage person or a person who due to his physical or psychic disabilities can’t execute his right for defense- Criminal cases in a protocol form

Abstract:
The article considers the problem of cybercrime prevention. The definition of the sphere of cybercrime is very important. It will clarify the structure of cybercrime. Within the structure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs the “K” department should deal with the cybercrime cases. The inconsistent fulfillment of this rule in the law enforcement system will cause disorder and abuse of power in law enforcement bodies. Applying the general scientific methods of analysis and comparison, the author studies the legislative construction of a theft of especially valuable objects. The article contains the statistical report prepared by the specialists of the criminalist laboratory of the international company “Group-IB” for 2011 – 2014. According to the report, the total volume of cybercrime in the Russian Federation and the CIS was estimated: in 2011 – $ 2,055 billion, in 2012 - $ 1,938 billion, in 2013 (second half-year) – 2014 (first half-year) - $2,501 billion. Cybercrime is considered by the authors of the report, firstly, in a narrow sense, secondly, as an economic model of crime.

// The union of criminalists and criminologists.
2014. № 3.
P. 336-342.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=67307
Abstract:
The author analyzes the methodological bases of creation of cost estimating methods, related to the reaction of the society (the state) to crime, particularly, the estimation of costs of ensuring the public authorities’ work, aimed at combating crime and solving other problems, in the situations, when the amount of on-budget expenditures, assigned to the provision of the “reaction” to the fact of committing a crime (detection and imposition of criminal liability), is not normatively established. The author applies general and special scientific methods: analysis, synthesis, the structural-logical, statistical, and other methods of scientific cognition. The author proposes his own methodology of public costs estimating, related to the court’s activities in criminal cases consideration, based on the time, spent by courts on criminal cases (materials) consideration. As additional variables, the author offers considering the amount of such work, the budget of these agencies, the normative production resources per worker in a year, the actual number of workers of the agency, who are responsible for these duties. The author concludes about the need for adopting new judges’ workload norms.

Influence of ideas of determinism and indeterminism on the formation of the freedom of the will concept in criminal law
// The union of criminalists and criminologists.
2014. № 3.
P. 343-353.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=67308
Abstract:
The article studies the ideas of determinism and indeterminism, which had developed in philosophy, later in religion, and only at the turn of the 18th – 19th centuries found their reflection in philosophical and legal studies. These two opposite directions in the approach to the understanding of freedom of the will significantly influenced the formation of the basic directions of criminal law development: classical, anthropological and sociological. The history of the Russian doctrine was influenced by the all three mentioned directions of criminal science, though with different strength. The analysis of the most significant studies in the fields of philosophy, theology, and politics gives the opportunity to reconsider the freedom of the will as a basic category of criminal law, reflected in almost all institutions of criminal law. The author comes to the conclusion, that at present the concept of agnosticism, previously proposed by the sociological school of criminal law, should be applied: it’s not possible to solve the problem about the existence of the freedom of the will once and for all, but it is possible to assume that it exist, and to form criminal law on this assumption.

Decriminalization of a deed as a circumstance eliminating criminal liability
// The union of criminalists and criminologists.
2014. № 3.
P. 354-357.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=67309
Abstract:
The article considers particular disputable issues of decriminalization of a deed from the viewpoint of its consideration as a circumstance eliminating criminal liability. The author touches upon various aspects of the problem, adduces the existing viewpoints and formulates his own position. Particularly, the criminal law doesn’t differentiate the absence of components of crime per se and the absence of components of crime due to the decriminalization of a deed, both from the viewpoint of reasons for termination of a criminal procedure and from the viewpoint of emergence of the right to vindication. The author applies general scientific and special methods, including analysis and the structural-logical method. The author concludes that decriminalization of a deed should be considered as a circumstance eliminating criminal liability. The act doesn’t contain the components of crime and such signs of crime as illegality and punishability. The author supposes that at present there exist theoretical, material-legal and procedural reasons for considering decriminalization of a deed as a circumstance eliminating criminal liability. The similar approach should be applied for defining a legal nature of the absence of the criminal law.

Criminological study of migration security in the Asian part of Russia
// The union of criminalists and criminologists.
2014. № 3.
P. 358-364.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=67310
Abstract:
The study of criminological aspects of migration security provision in the Asian part of Russia allows arguing that the situation with migration in different parts of the Russian Federation is heterogeneous; thus, the criminogenic factors, caused by such heterogeneity, are also different. Therefore, the author supposes that there are differences in the character and intensiveness of migratory processes, which can influence the dynamics of the related criminogenic factors formation. The article focuses on the “migration security”. The methodology of the research is based on the unification of sectoral and geographical components of the studied questions in a single construction. The author substantiates the complex of measures, aimed at the protection of public and government interests from particular challenges; this complex can be generally characterized as a criminological paradigm of migration security provision in Russia with regard to the regional peculiarities of some territories. The achievement of the research goals is connected with the implementation of particular methodological approaches and the solution of a set of scientific tasks.

The capacities of an automated workplace in investigation of crimes
// The union of criminalists and criminologists.
2014. № 3.
P. 365-367.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=67311
Abstract:
The article studies the peculiarities of examination, search and seizure of special software of a mobile automated workplace which should include:
- Means of access to the database of stolen things and values and to the database of persons;
- A reference system (an expert system) of the tactical mechanisms of examination, search and seizure;
- A program of procedural registration of the results;
- An educational system and a system of employees’ knowledge, skills and abilities control.
The author applies general scientific and special methods of cognition: the dialectical, formal-logical, and structural-functional methods and modeling. The use of a mobile automated workplace is possible not only in relation to investigative actions. The sphere of its application is determined by the software, the volume and the content of databases. Thus, in order to increase the universality of an automated workplace, it is necessary to provide the access to external databases (fingerprint files, criminal cases files, normative information, etc.), and to consulting and expert systems of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation in the software. It will allow using personal computers for investigative actions on any stage of investigation. The use of such systems will increase the efficiency of investigation of crimes and make the work of an investigator easier.

The category of grave crimes in the Soviet criminal law
// The union of criminalists and criminologists.
2014. № 3.
P. 368-375.
URL: https://en.nbpublish.com/library_read_article.php?id=67312
Abstract:
The analysis of criminal legislation after 1917 shows that, due to certain objective and subjective factors, there’s been no proper continuity in relation to the norms of classification of crimes. The class approach had prevailed in the formation of various groups and types of criminal deeds, and later crimes classification completely lost its practical meaning. The imperfection of crimes classification in the existing legislation was noted by 96% of practitioners and 92% of scientists interviewed during the expert survey of specialists. 91% of the interviewed scientists and 88% of practitioners voted in favor of amending of the General part of the criminal code with a special norm of crimes classification with the consideration of their social danger. The methodology of the research is based on the theoretical provisions of materialistic dialectics, philosophical literature and logic. As the legal base the author applies the provisions of the current criminal, procedural, correctional and other branches of law. The author pays attention to the analysis of criminal legislation of pre-revolutionary Russia and other states. Many aspects of the work are considered in their relation to the development of the fundamentals of criminal legislation of the USSR and the republics which had been adopted on July 2, 1991. The candidate offers the version of the article about the grave crimes category:
1. Grave crimes are intentional deeds infringing on life and health of a person, property, management, activity of public authorities and tribunals, committed in dangerous ways and causing grave consequences, which lead to the deprivation of liberty for the term of 5-10 years.
2. The law defines the following groups of grave crimes:
- grave crimes A which are punished by deprivation of liberty for the term of 8-10 years;
- grave crimes B which are punished by deprivation of liberty for the term of 6-8 years;
- grave crimes C which are punished by deprivation of liberty for the term of 5-6 years.
In the conclusion the author formulates the main finding of the dissertation, the most important of which are listed in this article.

The category of grave crimes in the Soviet criminal law
// The union of criminalists and criminologists.

Abstract:
The new reforms in our state and society presuppose the need for cardinal changes in the legislative activity. The important role of the criminal law concerns the future of the society and its members. While reforming criminal legislation, it is necessary to take into account that its standards and principles of humanism and justice should consider the experience of the criminal-legal system and pre-revolutionary Russia. All positive moments of the Soviet criminal law need to be taken into consideration. The methodology of the research includes the theoretical provisions of dialectical materialism, philosophy and logic. As the legal base the author uses the provisions of criminal law, criminal-procedural legislation, correctional legislation and the provisions of other branches of law. The category of grave crimes is a special group of premeditated crimes causing serious consequences. This definition should be included in the Criminal Code. The author offers several amendments to the content concerning grave crimes. The characteristics, determining the definition of grave crimes, should be preserved as a base for the decision about the inclusion of a particular crime in the category of grave crimes.

Abstract:
As I’d been doing for ages, one Saturday I dropped in the “Moskva” bookstore. In the second-hand department, among lots and lots of books, I suddenly noticed a massive, thickly brown volume in a heavy, as if armored, cover. Lev Romanovich Sheinin was a person with an unusual biography and an amazing fate. That time he interested me also because I was working on the novel-chronicle about the Nuremberg trials, in which Sheinin had participated and even had been drawn into a serious intrigue, which eventually turned very sadly for him… Lev Romanovich Sheinin died more than forty years ago, and only few people now remember his past deeds and sufferings, but his books are still republished and read with a huge interest. His name is associated with creative work, which, according to him, cured his soul and helped him to live. “Only in creative work, - said an outstanding Russian lawyer and writer Anatoly Fyodorovich Koni, - there is a joy. All the rest is a dust and vanity”. How right was he…The author of the article uses the formal-logical and the structural-functional methods of cognition.
