The author, considering the possibility of the emergence of a new branch of law in the future - pharmaceutical law, focuses on the complexity of regulating the sphere of turnover of medicines, at the same time pointing to this as the main reason for the uncertainty of the legislator in matters of the correctness of the choice of the object and subject of legal regulation. The author, citing examples from practice, draws attention to the fact that pharmaceutical activity is gradually becoming the object of regulatory regulation of various legal institutions, where the turnover of medicines, as well as medicines and other products containing raw materials of a medicinal nature, can be subject not only to the rules of civil turnover, as well as other special acts, but also to the norms of criminal law. The purpose of the study: To analyze the criminal legislation of the Russian Federation, including articles of the Criminal Code that establish responsibility for crimes in the field of pharmaceutical criminal law. Methodology and methods: the article uses both general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, and the method of interpretation of legal norms, which together make it possible to more effectively analyze the institutions of criminal law and determine the directions of development of the norms of pharmaceutical criminal law. Conclusions: as a result of the study, the author consistently substantiated the conclusion that the scope of application of criminal legislation in the control of pharmaceutical activities is expanding, at the same time, frequent violation of established prohibitions and regulations in the turnover of medicines suggests that the dialectical component of this issue is in an active phase of development, which indicates the inevitability (regularity and expediency) of the separation of a group of norms into a relatively autonomous group, which may be called pharmaceutical criminal law.

The legal structure of the corpus delicti provided for in article 216 of the criminal code obliges the law enforcer to establish not only the fact of violation of safety rules during construction works and the fact of occurrence of socially dangerous consequences in the form of causing serious harm to human health or major damage, but also the presence of a causal relationship between these phenomena to bring the guilty person to criminal responsibility. The work is devoted to the development of evidence-based recommendations for resolving law enforcement issues related to the assessment of the causal complex in the unsafe conduct of construction works. To achieve this goal, the current criminal legislation, explanations of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, materials of judicial and investigative practice, as well as scientific works affecting the theme of the work are analyzed. The methodological basis consists of General scientific provisions of philosophy, logic and other Sciences, dialectical, formal-logical, hypothetical, linguistic methods, a special place in the study took methods such as analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction. Proposals to improve law enforcement in terms of assessing the role of causes and conditions in the legal assessment of socially dangerous acts under article 216 of the criminal code are formulated.

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.

Introduction. In spite of definitude of the concept of public official directly in Criminal Code of Ukraine, its definition makes many difficulties. As the result there is an absence of the only approach concerning interpretation of context and amount of the concept in theory as well as ambiguous applying of relevant criminal and legal norms in enforcement practice. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to find out the subject matter of public official, as well as preparation of improvement of definition of the public official notion in criminal legislation. Results. Persons, that implement functions of a representative of authority or local self-administration, should also be referred as persons empowering the rights from state and its bodies; municipalities, bodies of local self-government make demands and solve problems, which are necessary for implementation by external respondents (entities, that are not subordinate by position and legal entities) and also implement from state, its bodies, bodies of local self-government enforcement measures in case of violations of legal norms. Organizational and regulatory functions should be exclusively considered as functions of administration working with employees that are implemented by person’s availability to make orders, instructions, commands, take encouragement and penalty measures referring to them. Administrative and economic functions should be perceived as functions of administration or disposal of other people’s property. Conclusion. Based on the research the author suggests to apply the defined term of public official instead of terms "an individual fulfilling functions of representative of authority or local self-government" "organizational and regulatory function" and "administrative and economic functions", terms "an individual empowered fulfilling state functions or local self-government", "functions concerning administration of work with employees" and "functions of administration and disposal of other people’s property" accordingly.

The article is devoted to one of the current areas of legal science related to the problems of interpretation the norms of General Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The interpretation of legal norms is the activity of state bodies, non-governmental organizations and individuals to clarify and explain the meaning of legal norms embedded by the legislator in them and the actual content of the legal provisions (regulations, definitions) contained in them in order to implement them correctly and improve the effectiveness of legal regulation public relations. The interpretation of legal norms is a complex volitional process aimed at establishing the exact meaning of the rule of law. This process consists of two elements: 1) the interpreter (interpreter) clarifies the content of the legal norm for himself; 2) then in order to establish its equal understanding and application it clarifies the meaning of the legal prescription to all interested parties. The first part of this activity – clarification – characterizes the epistemological nature of interpretation aimed at the knowledge of law. Understanding acts as a thought process taking place in the mind of the subject applying the rule of law. The explanation is the second part of a unified process of interpretation the law addressed to other parties to a relationship. It is carried out by the competent authorities and persons in order to eliminate ambiguities in understanding the content of the norm and thus ensure its correct application to the circumstances for which it is aimed. Subjects of interpretation may be public authorities, officials, organizations, enterprises, institutions, individuals. The objects of interpretation are laws and regulations. Legal interpretation is an activity that from a practical point of view is connected with the completion of the regulation of life relations by law. Legal norms as a result of interpretation become ready for implementation, practical implementation. The presented scientific article examines the interpretations given by the highest judicial instance, which showed that in some cases they contain contradictions that violate the legal and technical rules. Examples of the interpretation of criminal court decisions of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation are given, and author’s editions are proposed.
