The relevance of the work lies in the study of regulatory legal acts of the Soviet rule, which became the first experience of creating norms of law in the changed socio-political reality, based on new principles, including criminal law.The purpose is to analyze the Guidelines on the criminal law of the RSFSR of December 12, 1919, revealing the features of the content of the document.In the process of research, general scientific methods of the sphere of humanitarian knowledge (e.g. system, structural and functional) were used. Special methods were also applied: technical and legal analysis, specification, interpretation, historical description. Legal experience is analyzed from the standpoint of the relationship of events and phenomena, as well as taking into account their development in a specific historical situation.As early as the end of 1917 the RSFSR People’s Commissariat of Justice headed by the left SR I.Z. Steinberg announced the creation of the Soviet criminal code. The developed document is recognized as an independent normative act, a monument of criminal law, which corresponded to the principle of continuity and was transitional between the legislation of the Russian Empire and the RSFSR.When the leadership of the RSFSR People’s Commissariat of Justice became bolshevik, a working group was created, and as a result, on December 12, 1919, Guidelines on the criminal law of the RSFSR were adopted. The document was the first existing codified act in the field of Soviet criminal law.The guidelines are a small text, the content of which resembles the general part of criminal law. Despite this, it has several fundamental differences from the previous legislation. The main mechanism is repression, and the priority is the interests of workers.The crime is considered as a violation of the order of social relations protected by criminal law. It is defined as an act or omission of an act dangerous for public relations, causing the need for the state authorities to fight against criminals. Despite the fact that the Guidelines identified the stages of the crime, they did not affect the measure of repression, which is determined by the degree of danger of the offender.The task of punishment is to protect public order from the offender and prevention of a crime. Punishments appear in the form of adaptation of the criminal to public order, isolation and, in exceptional cases, physical destruction. However, the punishment should not cause unnecessary and excessivr suffering to the offender. In general, the Guidelines became the basis for the further development of legal doctrine and criminal law, as well as directed the vector of law enforcement activities of new judges.

The subject. The article is devoted to analysis of abuse of public rights in the sphere of crim-inal prosecution for violation the safety rules.The purpose of the article is to identify the condition and prerequisites for abuse of public rights in the sphere of criminal prosecution for violation the safety rules.Methodology. The authors use theoretical analysis and synthesis as well as legal methods including formal legal analysis, interpretation of legal acts and adjudications.Results, scope of application. It is proved that such abuse is the application of the criminal law in controversy with its specific tasks, established by the interrelated provisions of art. 2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and art. 6 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation. The possibility of applying criminal law to the detriment of the pro-tected interests of citizens and in violation of constitutional principles is due to a number of factors: first, the blurring of the limits of criminal law impact in the field of security in the production of works or services, and secondly, the lack of isomorphism of criminal law norms providing for liability in the named sphere of public relations and, as a consequence, the lack of coordination of sectoral norms.Conclusions. Conditions for abuse the public rights in criminal sphere indicate that the leg-islator ignores the requirement of systematic legal regulation, since identical offenses can receive both criminal law and administrative legal assessment.

The article considers topical issues of definition and qualification of crimes against human life in Ukraine and abroad. It is proved that the problematic issue of criminal law protection of human life is a significant differentiation of approaches to determining the moment of its onset, which reflects the medical and social criteria for the formation of an individual who has the right to life. It is shown that Ukrainian criminal law gives a person the right to life from birth, while the correct approach is to recognize the beginning of human life and appropriate criminal protection from the moment of onset 10 days after conception, which is consistent with European experience (in particular, France) and sufficiently reflects the medical features of the period of formation of a full-fledged embryo. The article also addresses the issue of the fact that Section II of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine combines encroachment on two different generic objects - public relations for the protection of life and public relations for the protection of personal health. This provision of the criminal law of Ukraine does not correspond to the international practice on this issue. In addition, it is reasonable to believe that the two relevant categories of the object of criminal encroachment cannot be considered similar, as such an approach in certain cases can significantly complicate the classification of a criminal offense. It is emphasized that, given the exceptional importance of criminal law protection of human life, it is necessary to formulate a separate section of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which covers only crimes against life as the main object of criminal encroachment.

The study analyses in detail and from a wide perspective the criminal law regulation applicable to the protection of personal secrets in Hungarian law. The author presents the historical development and comparative law context of the criminal substantive legal norms which defend personal secrets, especially in view of persons whose occupations or professions require handling such privileged information. Several norms applicable to specific professions (the clergy, the medical profession, and attorneys at law) as well as their implications in the light of the provisions of criminal and civil procedural law are also explored. The author concludes that it would be advantageous to use the expression ‘occupation’ in a wider sense and that the Hungarian Criminal Code should exemplify the secrets which often occur in everyday life and the exposure of which fits into the offending behaviour. Also, criminal and civil procedure should use the same rules for the exemption of persons bound by secrecy from having to testify as witnesses.

A criminal and legal analysis of the objective and subjective signs, characterizing the connivance to the crime is made in the publication. The study found that connivance in a crime may be characteristic of various criminal law institutions, such as implication in a crime and complicity in a crime. In addition, the presented arguments show that connivance as a criminally punishable act may be associated with non-interference with unlawful activities that do not constitute a crime. The analysis shows that connivance in a crime can have a selfish purpose. It is noted that connivance in a crime is significantly different from other forms of implication in a crime, namely concealment of a crime and failure to report a crime. The subject of connivance in a crime is a person endowed with special powers to prevent, document and register crimes or offences. The article discloses that there is no special penal provision in the current Act of Criminal Responsibility of the Russian Federation that criminalizes it. The exception is the disposition of Art. 290 of the Criminal Code of RF, which contains an indication of connivance as a sign characterizing the objective side of receiving a bribe.

The author provides a translation of the provisions of Article 27 of the Criminal Code of the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea and Article 41 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Korea regarding the list of types of punishments.

Сфера закупок товаров, работ, услуг для обеспечения государственных и муниципальных нужд в России страдает от широко распространяющихся мошеннических действий. Несмотря на то, что в отдельных странах Азиатско-Тихоокеанского региона накоплен богатый опыт законодательного противодействия преступному мошенничеству в сфере публичных закупок, в нашей стране он пока изучен недостаточно. В статье исследуется законотворческий опыт Республики Корея в противодействии преступным проявлениям мошенничества в сфере публичных закупок. Проведён юридический анализ норм отдельных законодательных актов Республики Корея, в которых представлена ответственность за преступные деяния в сфере публичных закупок. Особое внимание уделено преступлению, предусмотренному статьёй 315 Уголовного кодекса Республики Корея «Воспрепятствование проведению аукциона или торгов». Представлены позиции судебных органов Республики Корея в оценке отдельных признаков этого опасного преступления. Выявлена специфика законодательной регламентации ответственности за преступные деяния в сфере публичных закупок. В завершении анализа законотворческого опыта Республики Корея по противодействию мошенничеству при осуществлении закупочной деятельности государственными или муниципальными органами отмечено, что законодательство по борьбе с обозначенными преступными проявлениями развивается в этой стране «в ногу со временем». Сделаны выводы о том, что не все результаты рассмотренной законотвор-ческой деятельности Южной Кореи в силу их своеобразия могут быть распро-странены и использованы при совершенствовании российского законодательства. Однако отдельные приёмы законодательного решения проблем противодействия преступным мошенническим деяниям в сфере публичных закупок, безусловно, небесполезны и для России. В частности, интерес для развития российского законодательства могут представлять отдельные приёмы юридической техники – к примеру, широкое установление законодательного запрета на осуществление разнообразных действий мошеннического характера в сфере закупочной деятельности, вплоть до признания таких действий уголовно-наказуемыми. Авторам представляется любопытным и установление в санкциях законодательных норм Республики Корея строгих видов и размеров наказания за преступное воспрепятствование проведению аукциона или торгов, которые в сочетании с реальным назначением сурового наказания дают возможность эффективно противодействовать мошенническим проявлениям в сфере публичных закупок. Клчевые слова: уголовное законодательство стран Азиатско-Тихоокеанского региона, законодательство Республики Корея, уголовное право Республики Корея, уголовный кодекс Республики Корея, мошенничество, мошенничество в сфере публичных закупок, публичные закупки, электронные закупки, воспрепятствование торгам, сговор на торгах, подделка документов. The sphere of procurement of goods, works, and services to meet state and municipal needs in Russia suffers from widespread fraudulent activities. Despite the fact that some countries of the Asia-Pacific region have accumulated a wealth of experience in legal counteraction to criminal fraud in the field of public procurement, in our country it has not been sufficiently studied yet. The article examines the legislative experience of the Republic of Korea in countering the criminal manifestations of fraud in the field of public procurement. A legal analysis of the norms of certain legislative acts of the Republic of Korea, which presents responsibility for criminal acts in the field of public procurement, is carried out. Particular attention is paid to the crime stipulated by Article 315 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Korea "Obstruction of an auction or auctions." The position of the judicial authorities of the Republic of Korea in the assessment of some of this dangerous crime is presented. The specificity of the legislative regulation of liability for criminal acts in the field of public procurement has been revealed. Analysis of the legislative experience of the Republic of Korea in combating fraud in the imple-mentation of procurement activities by state or municipal authorities is followed by the conclusion that legislation to combat the designated criminal manifestations is developing in this country “in step with the times”. It is concluded that not all results of the considered legislative activity of South Korea, due to their originality, can be disseminated and used in the improvement of Russian legislation. However, certain methods of legislative solution of the problems of combating criminal fraudulent acts in the field of public procurement can be applied in Russia. In particular, certain methods of legal technique may be of interest for the development of Russian legislation - for example, the broad establishment of a legislative ban on the implementation of various fraudulent actions in the field of procurement, up to the recognition of such actions as criminal offenses. The authors also consider the establishment in the sanctions of the legislative norms of the Republic of Korea of strict types and sizes of punishment for criminal obstruction of an auction or auctions, which, in combination with the real imposition of severe punishment, make it possible to effectively counteract fraudulent manifestations in the field of public procurement. Keywords: Asia Pacific criminal law, Republic of Korea law, Republic of Korea criminal law, Republic of Korea criminal code, fraud, public procurement fraud, public procurement, e-procurement, obstruction of bidding, bid rigging, document forgery.
