In the article the problems of judicial and academic interpretation of the concept of sale of narcotic means and psychotropic substances. Currently, essential questions of understanding of marketing in order to distinguishing this transaction from other types of physical transfer of the drug to others, do not accept the sale, usually due attention in the literature is not given. However, the establishment of accessory drugs precedes the criminal legal evaluation of actions of the owner, associated with its use and disposal. The correct definition of the subject, which has a real opportunity to determine the fate of drugs, similar to the powers of the owner, it is important not only for differentiation of the objective side of acquisition, storage, marketing and other activities, but also for differentiating between types of partners, and in some cases forms of complicity. At the theoretical level, the resolution of the issues of identity of drugs and legal assessment of persons involved in their trafficking is carried out by applying to the relations arising between subjects of the illegal market of drugs, analogues civil constructions proprietary and contractual relations, which are based on the idea of the owner of the drug as the owner possessing a thing from itself and for itself, in contrast to its passive holder with no right of ownership and acting in the interests of the beneficiary. Illegal relations, the subject of which is the drug transferred well-known civil law model of legal relations, the main participants of which is the owner of a thing, while other persons are carriers derived from the owner of the rights. The author provides a critical analysis of the current doctrine of criminal law position on the possibility of applying to illegal drug deals in civil constructions proprietary and contractual relations. Substantiates the inconsistency of approaches to the separation of marketing from other activities associated with the transfer of narcotic drugs, on the basis of civil-law categories. In order to solve the qualification tasks proposed to proceed from the actual content of illicit trafficking in narcotic drugs, expressed in their assignment and alienation.

The article deals with the statistics in this sphere over the past five years. Based on the collected empirical evidence the authors analyzed the qualitative indicators of convicted drug offenders. The examination of statistical data from investigative and judicial practice on crimes in the field of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances illicit trafficking made it possible to sketch a criminal profile of a person sentenced to imprisonment: a citizen of the Russian Federation, a male between 18 to 39 years, having a secondary general or vocational education. Moreover, the personality of a convicted person is characterized by his internal criteria deformation devaluing the norms and rules that express and consolidate public interests. The authors also conducted a comparative analysis of offenders convicted both in the Russian Federation and in such federal subjects as Saint-Petersburg and Leningrad region. The choice of St. Petersburg as one of the objects of this research is justified by the fact that it has been among the leaders of the regions with the largest number of recorded drug-related crimes for several years.

The methodological framework for the research is represented by theoretical advances in the field of procedural law, with an emphasis on the theory of evidence and proof, as well as computer forensics, information law and technical literature. Comparative and formal legal methods, structural-functional analysis, inductive and deductive reasoning have been used to conduct the research. As a result of the research the analysis of the current theoretical developments in the study of the interdisciplinary sub-institute of the electronic evidence has been conducted; scientific comparison between the “objective” (traditional to the domestic theory of proof) and “informational” approaches to the definition of electronic evidence has been carried out; main theoretical and practical issues, arising from the application of different approaches to the perception of electronic evidence have been discovered and propositions for legislative amendments were made. Key findings of the study are briefly summarized below. In determination of the concept and the essence of electronic evidence an optimal combination of both objective and informational approaches to the perception of the electronic evidence should be applied. Differentiation between the original and the copy of electronic evidence should not be abandoned, and it should be allowed for the court to substantiate its findings with the copies of the electronic evidence in specific cases. Particular amendments to the Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine should be made with respect to: the definition of the original and the copy of electronic evidence; legal regulation of particular issues concerned with the use of originals and copies of the electronic evidence when proving the factual circumstances of the case (as well as when rendering the final and interim decisions by the court and when using the special knowledge) – primarily, in compliance with technical standards, that have recently been approved in Ukraine, regulating certain issues on the processing of electronic digital evidence.
