In modern realities, the number of fuel and energy companies managed on corporate principles is increasing every year. Accordingly, we are talking about the transition of state command management of the fuel and energy sector to private, competition-based and corporate governance. The study proposed a system of "balanced key performance indicators procurement", aimed at optimization of performance to meet the principles of the classic system of Kaplan-Norton and focused on the strategic orientation reflects the characteristics of the processes of production and consumption of services of energy companies. It is concluded that in a balanced system, it is necessary to distinguish between indicators that measure the results achieved and indicators that reflect the processes that contribute to the achievement of these results.

В представленной статье автором рассматриваются вопросы, связанные с криминологической характеристикой лиц, совершающих преступные действия на объектах топливно-энергетического комплекса России (на примере Самарской области), приводятся результаты проведенного исследования криминологических характеристик лиц, наделенных административно-хозяйственными и организационно-управленческие функциями на предприятиях топливно-энергетического комплекса, совершивших преступления коррупционного характера. Определен круг преступлений, которые могут совершаться в сфере топливно-энергетического комплекса (далее - ТЭК) и отнесение их по группам в зависимости от объекта и предмета преступного посягательства. Исходя из анализа основных категорий преступлений, совершаемых в указанной выше отрасли экономики, их многогранности выделяются основные типы преступников, осуществляющих противоправную деятельность, в результате которой причиняется значительный ущерб нормальному функционированию предприятий топливно-энергетического комплекса. Составлен криминологический портрет возможного преступника для данной категории преступлений; проанализированы его основные характеристики: высокий уровень компетентности с точки зрения выполнения им своих должностных обязанностей; специальное образование, возрастные и гендерные характеристики и т. д. Особый интерес представляет приведенная криминологическая характеристика преступников в сфере ТЭК по признаку принадлежности к профессиональному преступному миру, а также по видам рецидива. Основной мотив совершения преступления в сфере ТЭК - корыстный, формируемый под воздействием завышенных материальных потребностей. Результаты исследования показаны на примере конкретных уголовных дел, возбужденных следственными органами на основе результатов оперативно-розыскной деятельности правоохранительных органов. In the article the author examines the issues related to the criminological characteristics of persons committing criminal acts at the facilities of the fuel and energy complex of Russia (on the example of Samara region), the results of the study of some criminological characteristics of officials of the enterprises of the fuel and energy complex who committed corruption crimes are presented. The circle of crimes that can be committed in the sphere of the fuel and energy complex and their classification into groups depending on the object and subject of criminal infringement is defined. Based on the analysis of the main categories of crimes committed in the above-mentioned branch of the economy, their versatility, the main types of criminals who carry out illegal activities as a result of which significant damage is caused to the normal functioning of enterprises of the fuel and energy complex. A typical criminal model for this category of crimes and its characteristics are determined, and first of all it is a high level of competence, special education, age and gender characteristics are shown, etc. Of particular interest is the given criminological characteristics of criminals in the fuel and energy sector on the basis of belonging to the professional criminal world, as well as types of recidivism. The main motive for committing a crime in the fuel and energy sector is selfish, formed under the influence of inflated material needs. The results of the study are shown by the example of specific criminal cases initiated by investigative authorities based on the results of operational investigative activities of law enforcement agencies.

The article aims to make the characteristics of state and to identify the peculiarities of raiding on the enterprises of fuel and energy sector. To achieve the goals the following tasks should be solved: to define the concept of "raiding", to develop the concept of "raiding appeal", to describe the status and trends of transformation of fuel and energy sector, to identify the factors that influence the formation and implementation of raider attacks. The authors’ definition of "raiding" has acquired the significant importance. It is characterized from the position of the complex of actions which aim to create a negative situation that leads to disruption of "normal" functioning of the entities in the energy sector or to their capture. The proposed concept of "raiding appeal" is considered as a system of believes, which includes the legal and information basis, evaluation procedures relating to setting of the integral criterion, the formation of information and analytical support and management decisions to counter raiding on the fuel and energy complex. It has been determined the necessity of the operation of a special unit to provide counteraction to raiding, which operates on the basis of the relevant provisions. It includes the following sections: regulatory and legal framework which governs its activities; rights and obligations; function; management structure; trends and features of combating forced seizure of the fuel and energy complex; implementation areas of functioning unit specialized in the operation of the fuel and energy complex; interoperability of specialized unit with other structural elements of the fuel and energy complex. It has been determined the need for antiraiding Code, which is to create and implement a set of measures to counteraction to raiding on the enterprises of the fuel and energy complex. Herewith, we should consider the features of information policy, directions of application of legal security, corporate relationships, the level of interaction between units of fuel and energy complex and different groups of stakeholders, directions and measures to counteraction to raiding, the definition of responsible persons and presented directions and implementation activities. The analysis of the status and characteristics of raiding in the energy complex have allowed us to create an information basis for management decisions, including areas of cooperation between stakeholders.

The risks of technological accidents in the energy sector and their potentially disastrous effects have been analyzed over the past decades, and are nowadays generally recognized to constitute a key factor in an encompassing assessment of energy security. In contrast, the issue of intentional attacks on energy infrastructures has received increased attentionmore recently, particularly due to growing dependence of energy imports fromand transit routes through regions considered less reliable and politically stable. Both types of risks, however, illuminate different vulnerabilities. Therefore, the focus of the present analysis was on these two risk categories: accidents and intentional attacks in the energy sector. Risk assessment resultswere based on quantitative data from the databases ENSAD (Energy-related Severe Accident Database) and EIAD (Energy Infrastructure Attack Database). Evaluations examined similarities and differences between technological accidents and intentional attacks in terms of frequencies and consequences, considering time-series trends and regional patterns. A key difference is that accidents are typically rare and independent events, whereas intentional attacks are often multiple events and concentrated both in time and space, resulting in distinct hotspots. Concerning consequences, the severity distribution for accidents generally stretches over a broad range, with low-probability high-consequence events being an important factor of both energy chain performance and as a measure of risk aversion. On the other hand, these types of consequences are usually less important for intentional attacks because targeted energy infrastructures are often of “linear” nature (e.g. pipelines and transmission lines) that are difficult to protect and usually lead through remote areas with low population density. However, when frequently attacked substantial business and supply disruptions can occur. In summary, the joint analysis of accidents and intentional attacks provides a comprehensive and complementary approach on two types of risks that have rather different properties, but are essential in an energy security perspective.
