In this paper, the author tried to consider the impact of such innovation results as technology on domestic criminal law and to understand whether the legislator is ready for them. In the current Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, the legislator does not once use a single general concept in relation to technical innovations, which allows to characterize its various elements. At the same time, the legislator traditionally uses such private terms as tools, means, equipment, system, etc. When considering this issue, the first thought that comes to mind is that technical innova-tions in the Criminal Code are regarded as instruments or means of committing a crime. In criminal law theory, there are many points of view on the question of distinguishing between "instrument" and "means" of crime. The Criminal Code of the Russian Federation does not clearly understand the concepts under analysis. Technical innovations, such as equipment by domestic lawmakers, are regarded as instruments and means of committing a crime. The above concepts were traditionally used by the legislator to construct the norms of the Russian criminal law. At the same time, due to the active development of innovation activity, new technical innovations are appearing today, which, firstly, did not exist before, and secondly, they have a number of specific features. At the same time, definitions that were not previously used in the Russian criminal law, which allow judging about new possibilities of technology, which only stimulate the discus-sion about the legal status of technology, both in criminal law and in legislation as a whole, are already in place today. Social relations are undergoing certain changes as a result of innovative activities. In this regard, the object of crime is also being transformed. As a result, a new type of property is emerging, namely intellectual property, which is also subject to criminal law protection. It seems that today there is a need to combine the norms in the field of crimes that infringe on innovative activity into a separate group of norms. These social relations have a number of features that make it possible to consider forming them into a separate type of crime object. Separating groups of crimes in the area of innovative activity will be of great importance. In particular, it will make it possible to establish public danger in relation to a group of crimes and to analyse changes in the degree of public danger of crime depending on the type of quali-fying and attracting circumstances.

The Institute of mitigating and aggravating circumstances is presented not only in the norms of the General part of the criminal legislation of the Russian Federation. The application of these circumstances in the construction of individual elements of a crime allows the legislator to differentiate the orientation of the criminal law influence in relation to a specific crime element or in qualifying the fact of life reality. In law enforcement practice, proving the subjective side of a crime often causes significant problems. At the same time, motivation and achievement of a specific goal of committing a crime can have both a mitigating and an aggravating effect. The subjective side has a significant impact not only on the design of the offenses of the Special Part of the Criminal Law, but also on the process of sentencing through legal regulation of circumstances mitigating or aggravating criminal punishment. In this regard, both general and mandatory features of the subject of the crime also affect the procedure for establishing guilt and determining punishment in accordance with the norms of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Of scientific interest is the study of the influence of the process of legal regulation of mitigating and aggravating circumstances in terms of the impact on this process of subjective signs of criminal behavior.

The basis of this study is the use of elements of an innovative methodology of post-institutional analysis based on the interdisciplinary synthesis, which involves overcoming the monodimensionality, dichotomization and dogmatism of many concepts of orthodox neo-institutionalism. The main idea of this study is to apply an interdisciplinary approach to study the impact of technological modernization on economic entities and identify priority trends taking into account digital transformation of public relations. The assessment of the current problems under study and the conceptual framework of the study were carried out on the basis of studying and rethinking the results of numerous works by European and Russian scientists, as well as the legislation of the Russian Federation. The regulatory framework covers current domestic legislation in the field of civil, business and tax law, which regulates innovative activities. As a result of the conducted research, it is established that innovative activity is managed by a large number of regulations of various industry affiliation, which do not have any systemic connection with each other. The existing terminological intricacy is revealed in innovation legislation. The current legislation, including at the level of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, does not set the criteria and the indicators of an innovative organization. This serves as a factor that both complicates obtaining state support and hinders the wider introduction of innovations. The mechanisms of stimulating innovative activity provided by the tax legislation are investigated, and their effectiveness is also evaluated. The article proves the need for adoption of a special Federal Law aimed at regulating innovative legal relations. The need to improve the tax legislation is justified in terms of creating a special tax regime for subjects of innovative activity. It is proposed to expand the measures of state support for innovation activity within the subjects in the Russian Federation by introducing the institute of innovation voucher. The role of responsible innovations for sustainable business development in the period of digital transformation of society is defined.
