Abstract

In the field of countering corruption law enforcement agencies periodically face problems of qualifying the crimes under Articles 290, 291, 291.1, Part 2 of Article 291.2 of the Criminal Code. These issues are the subject of ongoing discussions in the scientific community. In this regard, the purpose of this article is to study the validity of the recognition by the legislator as a qualifying sign of petty bribery such a characteristic as an individual’s criminal record for committing crimes under Articles 290, 291, 291.1 of the Criminal Code or Article 291.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Taking into account statistical data, indicating an increase in the number of persons sentenced under Part 2 of Article 291.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation over the past two years, as well as national legislative experience of establishing increased criminal responsibility for persons previously convicted of similar crimes, and analysing scientists’ opinions on the matter, the author justifies a positive answer to this question. In addition, the article focuses on the optimality of the existing legislative version of Part 2 of Article 291.2 of the Criminal Code. In order to implement the idea of enhancing criminal liability against persons with a criminal record for similar crimes, the author considers it possible to expand the list of articles indicated in Part 2 of Article 291.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, to include all acts related to taking and giving unlawful remuneration. During the research the following methods were used: statistical, systematic, comparative, statutory interpretation, historical. Results. As a result the following edition of qualifying elements of petty bribery is proposed: «The same acts committed by a person, having a criminal record for offences, provided by Articles 184, 200.5, 200.7, 204, 204.1, 204.2, 290, 291, 291.1, 291.2 of the present Code.

轻微贿赂的合格标志(俄罗斯联邦刑法第291.2条第二部分)

在反腐败领域，执法机构经常面临根据《刑法》第290条、第291条、第291.1条、第291.2条第2部分确定犯罪的问题。这些问题是科学界持续讨论的主题。在这方面，本文的目的是研究立法者承认个人犯有《刑法》第290条、第291条、第291.1条或《俄罗斯联邦刑法》第291.2条规定的罪行的犯罪记录这一特征作为小额贿赂的合格标志的有效性。考虑到统计数据表明，在过去两年中根据《俄罗斯联邦刑法》第291.2条第2部分被判刑的人数有所增加，以及国家立法经验规定以前犯有类似罪行的人应负更大的刑事责任，并分析科学家对这一问题的意见，发件人有理由对这个问题作出肯定的答复。此外，本文还着重讨论了现行刑法第291.2条第二部分立法版本的最优性。为了执行加强对有犯罪记录的人对类似罪行的刑事责任的想法，发件人认为有可能扩大《俄罗斯联邦刑法》第291.2条第2部分所列条款的清单，以包括所有与获取和给予非法报酬有关的行为。在研究过程中，采用了统计、系统、比较、法定解释、历史等方法。结果。因此，建议将小额贿赂的资格要件修改如下:“有本法第184条、第200.5条、第200.7条、第204条、第204.1条、第204.2条、第290条、第291条、第291.1条、第291.2条规定的犯罪记录的人所犯的相同行为。”
