This article analyzes the crimes of extremist orientation, located in Section 29 of the Criminal Code. The author poses the problem of revising existing norms of the Criminal Code that establish liability for extremist crimes. Considering possible defects, we examine whether these norms are adequately reflected in the fundamentals of criminal law (its categories, concepts, institutions) and research the applicability of these rules. On the basis of a comprehensive approach to the tasks developed by the author, proposals on improvement of the criminal legislation and its application are given. We propose new wording for articles, in particular Article 280 of the Criminal Code «Public calls for extremist activities.» Also identified are a number of rules that are unnecessary of criminalization: Art. Art. 2801 2823 Criminal Code. It is suggested that these articles be deleted from the Criminal Code. Refs 19.
Keywords:
