Section 2. CRIME
Commentary to Art. 14.1 Code of Administrative Offenses
1. The object of the offense is social relations arising in connection with the implementation of business activities.
Relations between persons engaged in entrepreneurial activities or with their participation are regulated by civil legislation based on the fact that entrepreneurial activity is an independent activity carried out at one’s own risk, aimed at systematically obtaining profit from the use of property, sale of goods, performance of work or provision of services by persons registered in this capacity in the manner prescribed by law (clause 1, article 2 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).
State registration of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs are acts of the authorized federal executive body, carried out by entering into state registers information on the creation, reorganization and liquidation of legal entities, the acquisition by individuals of the status of an individual entrepreneur, the termination by individuals of activities as individual entrepreneurs, and other information on legal entities and individual entrepreneurs in accordance with Federal Law of August 8, 2001 N 129-FZ “On state registration of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs”.
According to Government Decree No. 319 of May 17, 2002, the Ministry of Taxes and Duties is the authorized federal executive body, carrying out state registration of legal entities from July 1, 2002, and from January 1, 2004 - state registration of individuals as individuals entrepreneurs, as well as state registration of peasant (farm) households.
Currently, in accordance with Presidential Decree No. 314 of March 9, 2004, after the entry into force of the relevant federal law, the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Taxes and Duties has been transformed into the Federal Tax Service.
Requirements for the preparation of documents used for state registration of legal entities, as well as individuals as individual entrepreneurs, were approved by Government Resolution No. 439 of June 19, 2002.
According to Art. 49 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, in order to engage in certain types of activities, a legal entity, in addition to state registration, must obtain a license. The basic provisions on licensing are established by Federal Law No. 128-FZ of August 8, 2001 “On licensing of certain types of activities.” In addition, certain laws (for example, the Law “On Education”, etc.) define certain types of activities that are subject to licensing.
In accordance with Art. 2 of the Federal Law of August 8, 2001 N 128-FZ “On licensing of certain types of activities,” a license is a special permit to carry out a specific type of activity subject to mandatory compliance with licensing requirements and conditions, issued by a licensing authority to a legal entity or individual entrepreneur.
2. The objective side of this offense consists of carrying out business activities without state registration as an individual entrepreneur or legal entity (Part 1 of the commented article); carrying out business activities without a special permit (license), if such a permit (such license) is mandatory (mandatory) (part 2 of the commented article); carrying out business activities in violation of the conditions provided for by a special permit (license) (Part 3 of the commented article); carrying out business activities in gross violation of the conditions provided for by a special permit (license) (Part 4 of the commented article).
3. When qualifying an offense under Part 1 of the commented article, it should be taken into account that individual cases of the sale of goods, performance of work, provision of services by a person not registered as an individual entrepreneur do not constitute this administrative offense, provided that the quantity of goods, their range, the volumes of work performed, services provided and other circumstances do not indicate that this activity was aimed at systematically making a profit (clause 13 of the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of October 24, 2006 No. 18 “On some issues that arise for courts when applying Special part of the Administrative Code").
Evidence confirming the fact of engaging in entrepreneurial activity may include testimony from persons who paid for goods, work, services, receipts for receipt of funds, bank account statements of a person brought to administrative responsibility, acts of transfer of goods (performance of work, provision of services), if from These documents indicate that the funds were received for the sale of goods by these persons (performance of work, provision of services), placement of advertisements, display of samples of goods at points of sale, purchase of goods and materials, and conclusion of rental agreements for premises.
At the same time, the lack of profit does not affect the qualification of the offenses provided for in the commented article, since making a profit is the goal of entrepreneurial activity, and not its obligatory result.
In cases where, in the process of carrying out entrepreneurial activities without registration as an individual entrepreneur or legal entity, violations of other rules and norms are committed, liability for which is provided for by other norms of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, the actions of the person should be qualified under Part 1 of Art. 14.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and the norm that establishes administrative liability for another offense. For example, if, in the course of illegal business activities, the storage, transportation or acquisition of unmarked goods and products for sales purposes is carried out, the actions of the person should be qualified under Part 1 of Art. 14.1 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and Part 2 of Art. 15.12 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation; if there is an illegal sale of goods (other things), the free sale of which is prohibited or limited, the person’s actions are qualified under Part 1 of Art. 14.1 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and Art. 14.2 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation; if goods are sold, work is performed or services are provided of inadequate quality or in violation of sanitary rules, then the person’s actions must be qualified under Part 1 of Art. 14.1 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and Art. 14.4 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation; if the rules for the sale of certain types of goods are violated, then the person’s actions should be qualified under Part 1 of Art. 14.1 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and Art. 14.15 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
4. When qualifying an offense under Part 2 of the commented article, it is necessary to proceed from the fact that licensing is an event related to the provision of licenses, re-issuance of documents confirming the availability of licenses, suspension of licenses in the event of administrative suspension of the activities of licensees for violation of licensing requirements and conditions, renewal or termination of licenses, cancellation of licenses, monitoring by licensing authorities of compliance by licensees when carrying out licensed activities with the relevant licensing requirements and conditions, maintaining registers of licenses, as well as providing interested parties with information from license registers and other information about licensing in the prescribed manner.
The list of executive authorities authorized to license a particular type of activity is determined by the Government, which approves the provisions on licensing specific types of activities (List of federal executive authorities carrying out licensing, approved by Government Resolution No. 45 of January 26, 2006).
When deciding whether a person’s actions contain signs of an administrative offense under Part 2 of Art. 14.1, it must be assumed that in accordance with paragraph. 3 p. 1 art. 49 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the right to carry out activities for which a special permit (license) is required, arises from the moment the permit (license) is received or within the period specified therein and terminates upon expiration of its validity, unless otherwise provided, as well as in cases of suspension or revocation of permission (license).
From the point of view of the practical application of Part 2 of the commented article, the following example is not without interest. The Licensing Chamber of the Administration of the Primorsky Territory (hereinafter referred to as the Licensing Chamber) appealed to the Arbitration Court of the Primorsky Territory with an application to bring the open joint-stock company "Vladivostok Sea Fishing Port" (hereinafter referred to as the port) to administrative liability under Part 2 of Art. 14.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation for carrying out activities for the procurement, processing and sale of scrap ferrous metals without the appropriate permit (license).
Based on the results of an inspection of the port’s activities, the Licensing Chamber drew up a protocol on an administrative offense, the objective side of which indicates the port’s procurement, processing and sale (collection, storage) of scrap ferrous metals without an appropriate license.
The requirement to have a license to carry out activities for the procurement, processing and sale of scrap ferrous metals applies to those legal entities for which such activity is the main one and includes collection, purchase, sorting, storage, selection, extraction, crushing, cutting, cutting , pressing, briquetting, remelting, as well as the sale or transfer of scrap ferrous metals for a fee or free of charge.
For the port, this activity was not the main one and was not carried out as such.
The port carried out loading and unloading operations on the basis of an agreement for the provision of services for unloading and loading scrap metal. The provision provided by the contract by the port to the company for the storage and storage of scrap ferrous metals was aimed at accumulating the necessary consignment of cargo for its further loading onto the ship and removal from the territory of the Russian Federation.
Thus, the placement of scrap ferrous metals at the specified port sites in this case should be considered as an element of the port’s main activities, for which it had the appropriate license.
5. When qualifying a person’s actions under Part 3 of Art. 14.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, it should be borne in mind that, in accordance with Art. 2 of the Federal Law of August 8, 2001 N 128-FZ “On licensing of certain types of activities”, carrying out business activities in violation of the conditions provided for by a special permit or license means engaging in a certain type of business activity on the basis of a special permit (license) by a person not fulfilling the licensing requirements and conditions established by the provisions on licensing specific types of activities, the fulfillment of which by the licensee is mandatory when carrying out such activities.
In accordance with the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated October 24, 2006 N 18 “On some issues that arise for courts when applying the Special Part of the Code of Administrative Offences” in cases where administrative liability for carrying out business activities without a special permit (license) or in violation the conditions provided for therein in addition to the general rules contained in parts 2 and 3 of Art. 14.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, established by other articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, the actions of a person are subject to qualification according to a special norm provided for by the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
For example, engaging in private medical practice or private pharmaceutical activities by a person who does not have a license for this type of activity must be qualified under Part 1 of Art. 6.2 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation; violation of the terms of licenses for carrying out activities in the field of industrial safety of hazardous production facilities - under Part 1 of Art. 9.1 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
6. The subjects of this offense are citizens and legal entities, as well as officials.
7. The subjective side of the offense is characterized by guilt in the form of intent and negligence.

Section 3. PUNISHMENT
Concept and signs of crime
In Art. 14 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation a crime as “a socially dangerous act committed guilty of guilt, prohibited by this Code under threat of punishment.”
Signs of a crime:
- act (action or inaction);
- public danger;
- illegality;
- guilt;
- Punishability.
A crime is understood only as an act , that is, human behavior expressed in a certain objective form. Neither thoughts, nor intentions, nor goals of a person that have not found their outer expression and are not embodied in action can be considered a crime. The act acquires criminal legal significance, i.e. becomes a crime only if it has all four characteristics specified in the law.
Social danger is a material sign of a crime, meaning the ability of an act to cause significant harm to social relations placed under the protection of criminal law. Social danger has qualitative and quantitative characteristics.
The qualitative characteristics of public danger in the literature are called the nature of public danger. It means a typical characteristic of the social harmfulness of certain types of crimes (robbery, rape, tax evasion, etc.) and depends on the object of the attack, the form of guilt and the category of the crime committed.
The quantitative indicator of social danger is referred to in the literature as its degree. It is determined by the circumstances of the crime (for example, the degree of implementation of the criminal intent, the method of committing the crime, the amount of harm and the severity of the consequences, the role of the defendant in the commission of the crime, in complicity).
For a more complete understanding of the sign of public danger, it is necessary to understand the meaning of Part 2 of Art. 14 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which states: “An action (inaction), although formally containing signs of any act provided for by this Code, but due to its insignificance does not pose a public danger, is not a crime.” Disclosure of the meaning of the above norm requires two explanations:
- To recognize an act as a crime, its formal similarity with a criminal offense described in one or another norm of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is not enough. Even with such similarity, the act may be considered insignificant (for example, the open theft of a student’s notebook), and therefore does not pose a public danger.
- An act recognized as minor and therefore not criminal may entail administrative, disciplinary, civil or other legal or moral liability. Therefore, the law’s indication of the absence of public danger in such acts should be understood not in the sense of the absolute absence of public danger (as, for example, in the case of necessary defense), but in the sense that the social danger of acts recognized as insignificant does not reach the degree that is inherent in crimes .
Unlawfulness (criminal illegality) means that only an act that is directly prohibited by the norm of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (Part 1 of Article 14 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) can be recognized as a crime. Application of criminal law by analogy is not allowed (Article 3).
Wrongfulness is a formal sign of a crime that cannot be considered in isolation from the social danger of the act. The criminal wrongfulness of an act is a subjective (at the legislative level) expression of the social danger of this act. Having identified the objectively existing social danger of an act and realizing the impossibility of effectively combating it without the use of criminal legal means, the state, represented by the legislative body, formulates a criminal legal ban on the commission of this type of act and establishes criminal punishment for its commission. On the other hand, an act prohibited by criminal law, due to a change in the nature of social relations or for other reasons, may at a certain stage lose its danger to society and then it is decriminalized, that is, the criminal legal ban on its commission is lifted.
Thus, social danger and illegality are two inseparable and interrelated characteristics (social and legal) of a crime.
Guilt as a sign of a crime directly follows from the principle of guilt enshrined in Art. 5 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and prohibiting objective imputation, i.e., criminal liability for innocent causing of harm.
In accordance with Part 1 of Art. 24 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, a person is found guilty of a crime if he has committed a socially dangerous and illegal act intentionally or through negligence. If the act was committed without guilt, i.e. without intent or negligence (accidentally), then, despite its objective social danger, it cannot be recognized as a crime and does not entail criminal liability (Part 1 of Article 28 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
Punishability means that for socially dangerous acts provided for by criminal law and committed culpably, a punishment may be imposed, established in the sanctions of the criminal law norm. In other words, punishability is the possibility of imposing punishment provided by law. This possibility is not realized in all cases of crime. Firstly, not every crime is recorded by law enforcement agencies. Secondly, not every reported crime is solved. Thirdly, in cases provided for by law, the person who committed the crime may be released from punishment. However, in these cases we are talking specifically about a crime, since the criminal law norm containing a description of this type of socially dangerous act provides for a certain punishment for its commission.
Thus, punishability should be understood not as a real punishment for a specific crime, but as the possibility established by law to apply punishment for each case of committing an act described in one or another norm of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Commentary on Article 14.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation
1. The object of the offense is social relations arising in connection with the implementation of business activities.
Relations between persons engaged in entrepreneurial activity or with their participation are regulated by civil legislation based on the fact that entrepreneurial activity is an independent activity carried out at one’s own risk, aimed at systematically obtaining profit from the use of property, sale of goods, performance of work or provision of services by persons registered in this capacity in the manner prescribed by law (clause 1, article 2 of the Civil Code).
State registration of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs are acts of the authorized federal executive body, carried out by entering into state registers information on the creation, reorganization and liquidation of legal entities, the acquisition by individuals of the status of an individual entrepreneur, the termination by individuals of activities as individual entrepreneurs, and other information on legal entities and individual entrepreneurs in accordance with Federal Law of August 8, 2001 N 129-FZ “On state registration of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs”.
According to Government Decree No. 319 of May 17, 2002, the Ministry of Taxes and Duties is the authorized federal executive body, carrying out state registration of legal entities from July 1, 2002, and from January 1, 2004 - state registration of individuals as individuals entrepreneurs, as well as state registration of peasant (farm) households.
Currently, in accordance with Presidential Decree No. 314 of March 9, 2004, after the entry into force of the relevant federal law, the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Taxes and Duties has been transformed into the Federal Tax Service.
Requirements for the preparation of documents used for state registration of legal entities, as well as individuals as individual entrepreneurs, were approved by Government Resolution No. 439 of June 19, 2002.
According to Article 49 of the Civil Code, in order to engage in certain types of activities, a legal entity, in addition to state registration, must obtain a license. The basic provisions on licensing are established by Federal Law No. 128-FZ of August 8, 2001 “On licensing of certain types of activities.” In addition, certain laws (for example, the Law “On Education”, etc.) define certain types of activities that are subject to licensing.
In accordance with Art. 2 of the Federal Law of August 8, 2001 N 128-FZ “On licensing of certain types of activities,” a license is a special permit to carry out a specific type of activity subject to mandatory compliance with licensing requirements and conditions, issued by a licensing authority to a legal entity or individual entrepreneur.
2. The objective side of this offense consists of carrying out business activities without state registration as an individual entrepreneur or legal entity (Part 1 of the commented article); carrying out business activities without a special permit (license), if such a permit (such license) is mandatory (mandatory) (part 2 of the commented article); carrying out business activities in violation of the conditions provided for by a special permit (license) (Part 3 of the commented Article 14.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation); carrying out business activities in gross violation of the conditions provided for by a special permit (license) (Part 4 of the commented article).
3. When qualifying an offense under Part 1 of the commented article, it should be taken into account that individual cases of the sale of goods, performance of work, provision of services by a person not registered as an individual entrepreneur do not constitute this administrative offense, provided that the quantity of goods, their range, the volumes of work performed, services provided and other circumstances do not indicate that this activity was aimed at systematically making a profit (clause 13 of the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of October 24, 2006 No. 18 “On some issues that arise for courts when applying Special part of the Administrative Code").
Evidence confirming the fact of engaging in entrepreneurial activity may include testimony from persons who paid for goods, work, services, receipts for receipt of funds, bank account statements of a person brought to administrative responsibility, acts of transfer of goods (performance of work, provision of services), if from These documents indicate that the funds were received for the sale of goods by these persons (performance of work, provision of services), placement of advertisements, display of samples of goods at points of sale, purchase of goods and materials, and conclusion of rental agreements for premises.
At the same time, the lack of profit does not affect the qualification of the offenses provided for in the commented article, since making a profit is the goal of entrepreneurial activity, and not its obligatory result.
In cases where, in the process of carrying out business activities without registration as an individual entrepreneur or legal entity, violations of other rules and norms are committed, liability for which is provided for by other norms of the Code of Administrative Offences, the actions of a person should be qualified under Part 1 of Art. 14.1 of the Administrative Code and the norm that establishes administrative liability for another offense. For example, if, in the course of illegal business activities, the storage, transportation or acquisition of unmarked goods and products for sales purposes is carried out, the actions of the person should be qualified under Part 1 of Art. 14.1 Code of Administrative Offenses and Part 2 of Art. 15.12 Code of Administrative Offences; if there is an illegal sale of goods (other things), the free sale of which is prohibited or limited, the person’s actions are qualified under Part 1 of Art. 14.1 Code of Administrative Offenses and Art. 14.2 Code of Administrative Offences; if goods are sold, work is performed or services are provided of inadequate quality or in violation of sanitary rules, then the person’s actions must be qualified under Part 1 of Art. 14.1 Code of Administrative Offenses and Art. 14.4 Code of Administrative Offences; if the rules for the sale of certain types of goods are violated, then the person’s actions should be qualified under Part 1 of Art. 14.1 Code of Administrative Offenses and Art. 14.15 Code of Administrative Offences.
4. When qualifying an offense under Part 2 of the commented article, it is necessary to proceed from the fact that licensing is an event related to the provision of licenses, re-issuance of documents confirming the availability of licenses, suspension of licenses in the event of administrative suspension of the activities of licensees for violation of licensing requirements and conditions, renewal or termination of licenses, cancellation of licenses, monitoring by licensing authorities of compliance by licensees when carrying out licensed activities with the relevant licensing requirements and conditions, maintaining registers of licenses, as well as providing interested parties with information from license registers and other information about licensing in the prescribed manner.
The list of executive authorities authorized to license a particular type of activity is determined by the Government, which approves the provisions on licensing specific types of activities (List of federal executive authorities carrying out licensing, approved by Government Resolution No. 45 of January 26, 2006).
When deciding whether a person’s actions contain signs of an administrative offense under Part 2 of Art. 14.1, it must be assumed that in accordance with paragraph. 3 p. 1 art. 49 of the Civil Code, the right to carry out activities for which it is necessary to obtain a special permit (license), arises from the moment of receipt of the permit (license) or within the period specified therein and terminates upon expiration of its validity, unless otherwise provided, as well as in cases of suspension or revocation of permission (license).
From the point of view of the practical application of Part 2 of the commented article, the following example is not without interest. The Licensing Chamber of the Administration of the Primorsky Territory (hereinafter referred to as the Licensing Chamber) appealed to the Arbitration Court of the Primorsky Territory with an application to bring the open joint-stock company "Vladivostok Sea Fishing Port" (hereinafter referred to as the port) to administrative liability under Part 2 of Art. 14.1 of the Administrative Code for carrying out activities for the procurement, processing and sale of scrap ferrous metals without the appropriate permit (license).
Based on the results of an inspection of the port’s activities, the Licensing Chamber drew up a protocol on an administrative offense, the objective side of which indicates the port’s procurement, processing and sale (collection, storage) of scrap ferrous metals without an appropriate license.
The requirement to have a license to carry out activities for the procurement, processing and sale of scrap ferrous metals applies to those legal entities for which such activity is the main one and includes collection, purchase, sorting, storage, selection, extraction, crushing, cutting, cutting , pressing, briquetting, remelting, as well as the sale or transfer of scrap ferrous metals for a fee or free of charge.
For the port, this activity was not the main one and was not carried out as such.
The port carried out loading and unloading operations on the basis of an agreement for the provision of services for unloading and loading scrap metal. The provision provided by the contract by the port to the company for the storage and storage of scrap ferrous metals was aimed at accumulating the necessary consignment of cargo for its further loading onto the ship and removal from the territory of the Russian Federation.
Thus, the placement of scrap ferrous metals at the specified port sites in this case should be considered as an element of the port’s main activities, for which it had the appropriate license.
5. When qualifying a person’s actions under Part 3 of Art. 14.1 of the Code of Administrative Offences, it should be borne in mind that, in accordance with Art. 2 of the Federal Law of August 8, 2001 N 128-FZ “On licensing of certain types of activities”, carrying out business activities in violation of the conditions provided for by a special permit or license means engaging in a certain type of business activity on the basis of a special permit (license) by a person not fulfilling the licensing requirements and conditions established by the provisions on licensing specific types of activities, the fulfillment of which by the licensee is mandatory when carrying out such activities.
In accordance with the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated October 24, 2006 N 18 “On some issues that arise for courts when applying the Special Part of the Code of Administrative Offences” in cases where administrative liability for carrying out business activities without a special permit (license) or in violation the conditions provided for therein in addition to the general rules contained in parts 2 and 3 of Art. 14.1 of the Code of Administrative Offences, established by other articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses, the actions of a person are subject to qualification according to a special norm provided for by the Code of Administrative Offences.

Section 6. OTHER MEASURES OF A CRIMINAL LEGAL NATURE
Commentary to Art. 14 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation
1. In the theory of criminal law, there are two main approaches to defining the concept of a crime: formal and material-formal.
The first approach is that the concept of a crime indicates its formal characteristics, i.e. A crime is something that is prohibited by criminal law under penalty of punishment. However, this approach does not answer the question: why are these acts prohibited by criminal law? This answer is given in the material and formal concept, according to which a crime is recognized as a socially dangerous act committed guilty of guilt, prohibited by the Criminal Code under threat of punishment. Here, one concept links three sections of the Criminal Code: “Criminal Law”, “Crime”, “Punishment”. At the same time, the legislator refused to reflect a class characteristic in the concept of crime, because At present, the Russian state is not considered as an institution of political power of the economically dominant class.
2. The commented article indicates objective and subjective signs of a crime. The first include: the commission of an act, its social danger, illegality and punishability. Guilt is a subjective sign. This article does not talk about the object of the attack, whether the person has reached the age of criminal responsibility or sanity, since they do not reflect the essence of the crime.
3. The essence of the crime is the commission of a socially dangerous act. Only physical actions of a person or failure to perform certain actions are recognized as crimes. The intention to commit a crime, extremist, reactionary beliefs and sentiments, even if expressed in one form or another and becoming known to outsiders, should not be recognized as a crime.
The concept of “action” covers body movement, operation (a set of body movements, the ways in which an action is carried out), the action itself and activity (a system of acts of behavior). These structural elements form different levels of behavior, with one level acting as an independent “unit” of behavior at another, higher level. A crime, we repeat, is not only a person’s action, but also his inaction when the requirement of the law is not fulfilled, for example, failure to provide assistance to a patient (Article 124 of the Criminal Code), failure to fulfill the duties of raising a minor (Article 156 of the Criminal Code).
It should be noted that only a human act is recognized as a crime. The Criminal Code does not recognize criminal acts of states or legal entities. However, an analysis of international legal documents allows us to conclude that the subjects of international crimes can be states, as well as individuals acting on their behalf.
The concept of “action” does not cover its consequences. The basis of any criminal act is a motivated, physical movement controlled by consciousness or abstinence from it, and the consequence relates to the outside world. They cannot be combined in terms of cause and effect; The action is the cause, and the consequence is the result of the action performed.
4. Only a socially dangerous act is a crime. Social danger is the ability of an act to cause harm or create a threat of harm to an individual, organization, society or state. By encroaching on the interests of the individual and organization, the act thereby affects the interests of society, which is why it is called socially dangerous.
Public danger is a social and at the same time legal sign of a crime (it is also called a material sign). The essence of social danger is expressed in the fact that the act causes harm to established social relations or is capable of causing harm to them. Social danger is an objective property of a crime.
According to Art. 6 and part 3 of Art. 60 of the Criminal Code, the social danger of an act is determined by its nature (qualitative indicator) and degree (quantitative indicator).
The nature of the social danger of the act is determined by the value of the object that the criminal is encroaching on, as well as the form of his guilt. For example, attacks on human life and health differ significantly in the nature of public danger from crimes in the sphere of economic activity.
The degree of public danger of an act is determined by the amount of harm, the severity of the consequences, the method of carrying out the action, the degree of implementation of the criminal intention, the role of the person in the commission of the crime in complicity, the type of intent or negligence, etc.
The legislative assessment of the nature and degree of social danger of a crime is judged by sanctions. For example, unskilled theft is punishable by imprisonment for up to two years. The degree of its public danger increases if it is committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy, with illegal entry into a premises or other storage facility, causing significant damage to a citizen. Such theft is punishable by imprisonment for up to five years.
The social danger of an act should not be determined by the properties of the person who committed the crime. Gender, age, official position and other characteristics of the subject of the crime do not in themselves pose a public danger. The social danger of an act must be distinguished from the social danger of an individual, which is manifested in the nature of the act, the severity of the consequences caused, the form and degree of guilt. An act cannot be declared criminal just because it was committed by a person who poses a danger to society. Otherwise, the principle of equality of citizens before the law will be violated and the reactionary theory of the “dangerous state of the individual” will be embodied in the law, according to which the main danger to society is not the act, but the subject - the “carrier of the dangerous state.”
5. The formal sign of a crime is illegality. It means prohibiting the commission of an act. If an act is not prohibited by the Criminal Code, then it is not a crime. From the range of socially dangerous acts, the legislator selects and declares criminal those actions (inactions) that pose a significant danger and require combating them through criminal legal means. The sign of criminal wrongfulness is closely related to the principle of legality, according to which the criminality of an act, as well as its punishability, are determined only by the Criminal Code. Application of criminal law by analogy is not allowed (Article 3 of the Criminal Code). The sign of criminal wrongfulness lies at the basis of criminal liability, which is the commission of an act containing all the elements of a crime provided for by the Criminal Code (Article 8 of the Criminal Code). If the act does not fall under the elements of a crime, then it is not illegal. For example, the case of open seizure of someone else's property without a selfish purpose cannot be classified as robbery.
6. The concept of crime includes a sign of guilt. An indication of it is consistent with the principle of guilt, according to which a person is subject to criminal liability only for those socially dangerous acts and the resulting consequences for which his guilt has been established (Article 5 of the Criminal Code). If a person did not realize the socially dangerous nature of his behavior, did not foresee the possibility or inevitability of socially dangerous consequences, could not and should not have foreseen them, then his criminal liability is excluded. Punishment of this person would be meaningless from the point of view of his correction and prevention of the commission of new crimes. Therefore, criminal liability for innocent causing of harm (i.e. objective imputation) is not allowed (Part 2 of Article 5 of the Criminal Code).
7. Article 14 names another sign of a crime - punishability. Punishability means that every crime carries a criminal penalty. At the same time, under circumstances provided for by criminal law, a person may be released from criminal liability and punishment. In this regard, some lawyers believe that punishability is not a sign of a crime, but its consequence.
8. In accordance with Part 2 of Art. 14, an act is not a crime, although formally it contains signs of any crime provided for by the Criminal Code, but due to its insignificance does not pose a public danger. To recognize an act as insignificant, it is necessary to be guided by two criteria: objective and subjective. An objective criterion indicates that the act does not pose a public danger due to its insignificance. The insignificance of the act means that it did not cause or create a threat of causing significant harm to the object of criminal legal protection. Criminal law protects public relations from causing significant harm to them. If the act formally contains elements of a crime, but is insignificant in its content, then the criminal liability of the person is excluded. So, theft of someone else's property worth less than 1000 rubles. is petty and entails liability under Art. 7.27 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
———————————
BVS RF. 2000. N 9. P. 7.
The subjective criterion requires that the person’s intent was aimed at committing a minor act. The characteristics of the subject of the crime (minority, official position, etc.) should not influence the decision on the insignificance of the act committed by him, since according to Part 2 of Art. 14 it is necessary to evaluate the social danger (insignificance) of the act, and not the individual. In addition, the solution of this issue depending on the characteristics of the individual violates the principle of equality of citizens before the law, enshrined in Art. 4 CC.

Section 8. ECONOMIC CRIMES
Commentary on Article 14 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation
1. The formal definition of a crime is based on the illegality of the behavior carried out: NULLum crimen, NULLa poena, sine lege (no crime, no punishment unless indicated in the law). In other words, the essence of a crime comes down to its normative understanding, that which is enshrined in criminal law and punishable.
2. The material definition of a crime is based on the social danger of the behavior of the guilty person. Only that act is recognized as a crime that is socially dangerous.
3. Part 1 comment. The article establishes a formal and material definition of the crime. An indication of the prohibition of the corresponding act of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation under the threat of punishment characterizes the concept of a crime from the formal side, and a reference to the social danger of the act recognized as a crime and its guilty commission characterizes the concept of a crime from the material side.
4. The presence in the legislative definition of a crime of an indication of its formal characteristics emphasizes the fact that, according to domestic criminal law, recognition of a crime by analogy with the law is not allowed and thereby contributes to the establishment of legality in the fight against crime.
5. The presence in the concept of a crime of an indication of its material characteristics (social danger and guilt) prevents the possibility of bringing to criminal justice a person who has committed a minor unlawful act, formally falling under one or another article of the Special Part of the Criminal Code, but not representing a significant public danger, and if we proceed from the terminology of the legislation on administrative offenses (Article 2.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses) - not posing a public danger at all.
5.1. The fact that an act that does not pose a public danger is not criminal is also enshrined in Part 2 of the commentary. articles.
5.2. In addition to the fact that the signs of the committed act must formally correspond to the signs described in the disposition of the article of the Special Part of the Criminal Code, for the application of this part of the article it is necessary to have objective and subjective conditions.
The objective condition is minor actual harm caused as a result of the committed act.
The subjective condition is the desire of the guilty person to cause minor harm through his act. With unspecified intent, the act cannot be insignificant.
5.3. The small amount of harm caused is the main limiter of minor harm from criminal harm. If the act is considered insignificant, then the initiation of criminal proceedings should be refused, but if the case has already been initiated, then it should be terminated due to the lack of corpus delicti in the act. In this case, we may not be talking about a crime, but about an administrative offense (for example, Article 158 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and Article 7.27 of the Code of Administrative Offenses; Article 213 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and Article 20.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses).
6. From the comment formulated in part 1. Articles of definition can highlight the following main features of a crime: guilt, public danger, prohibition, punishability.
6.1. The guilt of a person who has committed a criminal act is determined by his intentional or careless attitude towards his own behavior, responsibility for which is provided for by the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (see commentary to Articles 25 and 26). Behavior that is not controlled by a person’s consciousness cannot be considered criminal (see commentary to Part 3 of Article 20, Article 21). Innocent causing of harm indicates an incident and cannot entail a criminal offense (see commentary to Article 28).
No one can be found guilty of committing a crime until his guilt is proven in the manner prescribed by the Federal Law and established by a court verdict that has entered into legal force (Article 49 of the Constitution, Article 5 of the Criminal Code).
6.2. The social danger of an act should be understood as its property (or ability) to cause significant harm to legally protected social relations (values, benefits) or put them at risk of causing such harm.
The social danger of an act has qualitative and quantitative sides.
The qualitative side is determined by the nature of the social danger of the crime. The nature of the public danger depends on the object of the criminal encroachment established by the law enforcement officer, the form of guilt and the classification of the criminal act by the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation into the corresponding category of crimes (see paragraph 3 of paragraph 1 of the no longer in force Resolution of the Plenum of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation No. 40).
The quantitative side is determined by the degree of public danger of the crime. The degree of public danger is characterized by the circumstances of the crime, namely the amount of harm caused, the severity of the consequences, the degree of implementation of the criminal intent, the method of committing the crime, the role of the perpetrator in complicity in the crime, the category of the person (persons) who committed the act (see also paragraph 3, paragraph. 1 of the no longer in force Resolution of the Plenum of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation No. 40).
6.3. The prohibition of an act committed means the criminally unlawful nature of an action or inaction performed by a person, such behavior that contradicts accepted norms in society and is declared by criminal law to be a crime of one gravity or another, i.e. provided for by the relevant article or articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. In other words, this sign determines the place of a criminal act in the Criminal Code and shows the legal expression of a public danger.
6.4. The criminal punishability of an act means the establishment by criminal law of punishment for its commission, in other words, the enshrinement in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation of the threat of punishment for unlawful behavior. The threat of punishment for an act implies that any criminal law defining behavior as a crime must have a sanction of the type and size that is necessary to prevent the commission of new crimes, restore social justice, and correct the guilty person.
7. All of the listed signs of a crime are expressed in the corresponding behavior of the guilty person - his socially dangerous act. Only an act can be guilty and socially dangerous (along with the person who committed it), prohibited and punishable.
8. A socially dangerous act means both a single action or inaction of a certain person or several persons, and a more or less prolonged activity of a person or several persons. At the same time, an act in criminal law is understood not only as the conscious volitional behavior of a person, but also as a socially dangerous consequence that occurs as a result of such behavior, i.e. crime in general.
8.1. Volitional behavior means its implementation at one’s own request (not under physical or mental irresistible coercion - from another person, natural forces, animals, disease processes, or other objective factors).
8.2. A criminally unlawful action is a conscious, volitional, active socially dangerous behavior. Active behavior can be expressed by physical movement (stabbing with a knife, pressing the trigger of a pistol, etc.), verbally (uttering insults, slanderous fabrications, etc.) or by gesturing (conclusively). The latter type of action is most widespread in cases of complicity in the commission of a crime.
8.3. Criminally unlawful inaction is conscious, volitional, passive socially dangerous behavior. Passive behavior can be expressed in omission, as well as in pure or mixed inaction.
8.4. Passive criminal behavior refers to a refusal to act that has social significance. In other words, the person was obliged to act, but in fact is inactive. Such an obligation is determined both by the provisions of the Criminal Code and other regulatory legal acts.
The obligation to act may arise from: a) from family relations (for example, the obligation of a parent to support a minor or disabled child - Article 157); b) from the performance of professional or official functions (for example, the duty of a doctor to provide assistance to a patient - Article 124); c) from the obligations assumed (for example, the obligation to care for a minor or infirm person - Article 125); d) due to the dangerous behavior of a person (for example, the duty of a driver who has hit a pedestrian on the roadway to provide assistance to the victim - Article 125).
9. Everything that is not related to the expression of human behavior in a social environment, i.e. thoughts, ideas or beliefs cannot be considered a crime.
10. The concepts of “crime” and “crime” should not be confused.
10.1. Crime reflects the totality of crimes committed during a specified period of time, in a certain territory, by relevant persons, for certain reasons, etc. In other words, this concept contains a mass description of crimes according to any one or more of the listed criteria. A crime is an act of specific unlawful behavior by an individual(s).
10.2. The phenomenon of crime is undoubtedly more dangerous than one crime, both because it consists of many crimes, and because it causes greater harm to legally protected interests, extends to a larger circle of persons and has a longer duration.
10.3. The study of a crime is based on the considered signs: guilt, social danger, prohibition, punishability. Crime, being a relatively massive, historically transient, socio-legal phenomenon, which is a set of crimes and the persons who committed them in a certain place and at a certain time, is characterized by the following characteristics: a) mass character; b) historical variability (in terms of dynamics, structure, level, etc.); c) sociality, which consists of conscious, volitional acts of members of society and affects the interests not of an individual, but of the whole society (a large circle of people); d) legal affiliation, which is expressed in the consolidation of episodes of crime in criminal law (causing more significant harm).

Section 9. CRIMES AGAINST PUBLIC SAFETY AND PUBLIC ORDER
The concept of a crime (Article 14 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation)
In Art. 14 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation defines a crime as “a socially dangerous act committed guilty of guilt, prohibited by this Code under threat of punishment.”
1. An action (inaction), although formally containing signs of any act provided for by this Code, but due to its insignificance, does not pose a public danger (harm. Federal Law of June 25, 1998 No. 92-FZ), is not a crime.
1. To recognize an act as a crime, its formal similarity with the criminal offense described in one or another norm of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is not enough. Even with such similarity, the act may be considered insignificant (for example, the open theft of a student’s notebook), and therefore does not pose a public danger.
2. An act recognized as minor and therefore not criminal may entail administrative, disciplinary, civil or other legal or moral liability. Therefore, the law’s indication of the absence of public danger in such acts should be understood not in the sense of the absolute absence of public danger (as, for example, in the case of necessary defense), but in the sense that the public danger of acts recognized as minor does not reach the degree that is inherent in crimes .
Signs of a crime:
· act (action or inaction);
· public danger;
· illegality;
· guilt;
· Punishability.
A crime is understood only as an act, that is, human behavior expressed in a certain objective form. Neither thoughts, nor intentions, nor goals of a person, which have not found their external expression, have not been embodied in action, can be recognized as a crime . The act acquires criminal legal significance, i.e. becomes a crime only if it has all four characteristics specified in the law .
Illegal behavior can be expressed both in active activity and in inaction of a person in cases where the law imposed an obligation on him to act. Inaction
has criminal legal significance only if the person was obliged and had a real opportunity to perform a certain action. The concept of an act in Art. 14 of the Criminal Code covers both socially dangerous action (inaction) and its harmful consequences.
Social danger is a material sign of a crime, meaning the ability of an act to cause significant harm to social relations placed under the protection of criminal law. Social danger has qualitative and quantitative characteristics.
The qualitative characteristics of public danger in the literature are called the nature of public danger . It means a typical characteristic of the social harmfulness of certain types of crimes (robbery, rape, tax evasion, etc.) and depends on the object of the attack, the form of guilt and the category of the crime committed.
The quantitative indicator of social danger is referred to in the literature as its degree . It is determined by the circumstances of the crime (for example, the degree of implementation of the criminal intent, the method of committing the crime, the amount of harm and the severity of the consequences, the role of the defendant in the commission of the crime, in complicity).
Unlawfulness indicates that the person who committed the crime violated the prohibition contained in the criminal law. If a person commits an act not provided for by criminal law, it cannot be considered a crime even if there is a gap in the law. The criminal law prohibition is established only by the Criminal Code, since it is the only source of criminal law. A mandatory component of criminal wrongfulness is the presence in the criminal law norm of a sanction, which contains the threat of applying a punishment of a certain type and amount in the event of committing an act provided for by law.
Public danger —
a sign of a crime expressing its material essence. It means that the act causes or creates a threat of harm to social relations protected by criminal law. Social danger is an objective property of a crime. Crimes are acts that are dangerous to the individual, society and the state.
The nature of the public danger is determined, first of all, by the social relations on which the attack was committed, that is, by the object of the crime. When determining the degree of public danger, a number of factors should be taken into account: the severity of the consequences caused, the characteristics of the offense (whether it was completed or not, committed alone or in complicity, what method was used to commit the crime, etc.), the nature of the guilt, the characteristics of the subject of the crime , i.e. specific manifestations of signs of a crime.
Guilt in the criminal legal sense presupposes a certain mental attitude of a person to his behavior and its consequences. Guilt is possible only in the presence of those forms of guilt that are defined by law (Article 24 of the Criminal Code): intent (direct and indirect) - Art. 25 of the Criminal Code or negligence (frivolity or negligence) - Art. 26 of the Criminal Code.
Punishability as a sign of a crime is understood as the possibility of assigning punishment for the commission of each crime, the threat of punishment in case of violation of a criminal law norm.
Part 2 Art. 14 of the Criminal Code gives the concept of insignificance of an act. The meaning of Part 2 of Art. 14 is that only an act that has a high degree of public danger characteristic of criminal law can be recognized as a crime. In the case of only a formal coincidence of the signs of the committed act with the signs described in the law, in the absence of the possibility of causing significant harm to protected social relations, the act should not be considered as a crime in the absence of one of its signs - social danger. The act in such cases has only a minor degree of public danger, which does not reach the level characteristic of crimes. In such cases, a criminal case cannot be initiated, and once the case has been initiated, it must be terminated due to the absence of corpus delicti in the act.
An act may be considered minor, and the person who committed it may not be subject to criminal liability if, for example, the damage caused is insignificant (theft of a low-value item, damage to property, if its restoration does not require significant costs).
Of particular importance in the theory of Russian criminal law and in law enforcement activities is the distinction between crimes themselves and other types of offenses. This is necessary in order, firstly, to clearly limit the range of acts that fall under the scope of criminal law; secondly, to determine what kind of act was committed by a specific person, and in accordance with this, implement the basic provisions of the branch of law within the scope of which it falls.
Minor acts should be distinguished from circumstances excluding the criminality of the act provided for in Art. 37-42 CC. Minor acts are not criminal, but have a certain (low) degree of public danger. The social nature of the circumstances that exclude the criminality of an act is such that they are socially useful or socially neutral.
In this regard, it should be noted that the following offenses are most similar:
1) disciplinary offenses (violations of state and official discipline, entailing disciplinary sanctions) and crimes against the interests of service in commercial and other organizations (Chapter 23 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), against state power, the interests of civil service and service in local governments (Chapter 30 of the Criminal Code RF), as well as those directed against military service (Chapter 33 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation);
2) civil torts (violations of the requirements of civil legislation) and crimes against property (Chapter 21 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), as well as some crimes in the field of economic activity (Chapter 22 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation);
3) administrative offenses (provided for by administrative legislation) and some crimes in the field of economic activity (Chapter 22 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), directed against public safety and public order (Section IX of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), as well as against the order of management (Chapter 32 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
The distinction between these types of offenses is made on two grounds.
1) the nature of the public danger (material criterion);
2) type of illegality (formal criterion).
In Art. 14 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation defines a crime as “a socially dangerous act committed guilty of guilt, prohibited by this Code under threat of punishment.”
