Commentary to Art. 267 Criminal Code

1. The subject of the crime basically coincides with the subject of the crime provided for in Art. 266 of the Criminal Code. Additionally, transport communications were identified as the subject of the crime, i.e. a set of communication routes along which route movement of various types of transport is carried out.

2. The objective side of the crime is expressed in the form of actions: a) destruction, damage or otherwise rendering unusable a vehicle, communication lines, signaling, communication or other transport equipment; b) blocking transport communications. Other methods of rendering the vehicle unfit for use include actions not related to the violation of the physical integrity and structure of the subject of the crime, as a result of which the operation of the corresponding subject of the crime is also impossible (filling oil in the cooling system of a vehicle, de-energizing alarm systems, etc.). ). Blocking transport communications is the creation of obstacles to the movement of a vehicle along communication routes (arrangement of physical obstacles, etc.). A mandatory feature of the crime in question is the occurrence of socially dangerous consequences due to negligence: grave harm to human health or major damage (part 1) (according to the note to this article, this is damage the amount of which exceeds 1 million rubles); death of a person (part 2); death of two or more persons (Part 3). In this case, it is necessary to establish a cause-and-effect relationship between actions and socially dangerous consequences that occur.

3. The crime is considered completed from the moment the specified socially dangerous consequences occur. In the absence of these consequences when blocking transport communications, these actions are qualified under Art. 20.18 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

Second commentary to Art. 267 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation

1. Railway communications are a railway track with rails, sleepers and embankment; in the air - runways, taxiways, safety strips, etc.; in water transport - the route of a vessel from one geographical point (port) to another through open areas of the ocean or sea, as well as natural or artificial narrows (straits, canals, rivers, lakes). Signaling means - means that provide conditional information (command, report, notification, identification, control, etc.), can be audio, visual (light), etc. Signaling means, for example, include semaphores, beacons, beacons, wayfinding and marking signs. Communication means are technical devices that provide the transmission and reception of various types of messages. Communication can be telephone, telegraph, telecode, facsimile, television, etc. Transport equipment is understood as a set of mechanisms, devices, instruments necessary for the safe operation of railways, aviation, sea and river fleets, and the metro. Transport communications is a general concept that includes communication routes and structures on them.

2. Destruction is the complete collapse of the system, as a result of which it is unable to function for its intended purpose. When destroyed, either the technical possibility of restoring the subject of the crime is lost, or it becomes economically infeasible. Damage entails a partial change in the properties, structure and form of a technical system, due to which it can be restored. When otherwise rendered unusable for use, the object of the crime does not suffer damage; it remains serviceable, but “falls out” of the system that ensures the safe operation of transport. Blocking transport communications means significantly limiting or even paralyzing the activities of a certain link in the railway, air or water transport system.

3. On the concept of grievous bodily harm, see the commentary to Art. 111 of the Criminal Code. Major damage is considered to be damage whose amount exceeds 1 million rubles.

4. The subjective side is characterized by a careless form of guilt.

5. The subject of the crime is a person who has reached the age of 14.

6. The death of one person or two persons or more is provided for, respectively, in Parts 2 and 3 of Art. 267 CC.
