Crimes against property: critical analysis of transforming the Russian criminal legislation and the practice of its enforcement by V. V. Sverchkov

“…In particular, the article substantiates the following provisions: a) on the artificial creation of competition between the qualified and specially qualified corpus delicti of theft; b) on the inclination of the Russian lawmaking towards the Anglo-American legal family; c) on the incorrect unification of the general and special provisions in Art. 159 of the Russian Criminal Code; d) on the elimination of fraud as a form of theft with the characteristic criminal behavior, by the contents of Art. 1596 of the Russian Criminal Code; e) on the ungrounded change of law-enforcement in Russia unless it is connected with social-economic and (or) political-legal transformations in Russia.The research results show that the Supreme Court decisions contain: a) substitution of the concept of the “acquisitive goal” by the concept of “acquisitive motive” of property theft; b) ambiguous provisions on assessment of the crime under paragraph “g” of part 2 of Article 158 of the Russian Criminal Code; c) contradictory definition of the moment of completion (of corpus delicti) of administrative-legal acquisition of property by theft and the moment of completion (of corpus delicti) of the criminal-legal secret acquisition of property; d) provisions that prevent delimitation of the criminal-legal embezzlement of property from the minor waste of property and bringing the perpetrator to criminal or administrative liability; e) questionable advice to law-enforcers on the classification of theft that involves threatening life/health of the victim; f) contradictory explanation of the judicial practice of application of Article 163 of the Russian Criminal Code.Practical significance: the main provisions and conclusions should be used to improve the law-making activity and judicial interpretive practice.…”
