This article focuses on the resolution of issues and difficulties legal professionals encounter when qualifying criminal acts under Item e.1 of Part 2 of Article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (Item e.1). The issues and difficulties appeared when the 1996 Criminal Code entered into force and still exist. They are associated with the absence of a legal definition of blood feud in the text of the Criminal Code and other federal statutes, and also with the fact that Decision No. 1 of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, On Judicial Practice in Murder Cases, of 27 January 1999, both in the previous and in the current versions, does not contain any comments and clarifications on the characteristics of Item e.1. The greatest difficulties in investigative and judicial practice appear when determining the subject of the given crime. For a long time, the question of what kind of subject of the crime - general or special - is the subject of the crime envisaged in Item e.1 (formerly Item k of Article 102 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR) continues to be controversial and open in the Russian criminal law theory. The author of the article has made a comprehensive critical analysis of the points of view, opinions, and approaches available in the criminal law doctrine regarding the definition of the type of subject in Item e.1 - murder motivated by blood feud; this has an important qualification value and directly affects the legal assessment of the criminal act provided for in this item. The article presents and examines the doctrinal provisions, court decisions, and norms of criminal law in terms of determining the type of subject of murder motivated by blood feud. The author proposed, explained, and scientifically substantiated a uniform approach to the definition of the subject in Item e.1; this approach can order the Russian law enforcement practice and resolve all the problems. The author also formulated conclusions supported by arguments and reasons. The conclusions confirm the correctness of the scientific and legal approach, according to which the subject of the crime envisaged in Item e.1 is special and should belong to a group of population which cultivates the custom of blood feud.

The interest in digital development and the specifics of its legal regulation does not practically affect the problems of applying the provisions of Chapter 28 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and the qualifications of acts falling under the definition of «cybercrimes against property» and Art. 272 and Art. 273 in particular. Analyzing a judicial decision, the author on a practical example reveals the main qualification problems that currently exist in the judicial practice. The author states that the outdated and overly detailed definition «computer information» which is given in the note to Art. 272 of the Criminal Code, leads to the fact that the rules of law, in which this term is included, are applied erroneously. Considering how the perception of the meaning of dispositions of Art. 272, 273 and 159.6 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, in cases of committing a crime in a virtual dimension, the author reveals the interdependence of the technical component of the subject of the crime and the place of its commission with the legal regulation of protected public relations and their external perception by the law enforcer. The article offers recommendations on the maximum elimination of possible errors in qualifications and shows on specific examples which particular signs and elements in the mechanism of a specific act affect the formation of erroneous law enforcement practice.

The article considers some features of the unified state registers that are the subject of a crime under Article 2853 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, reveals the content of each designated feature of the concept under study, which allowed us to formulate a definition of the unified state registers. The systematization of the unified state registers is given, based on their classification on various grounds. Attention is drawn to the peculiarities of criminal law protection of relations in the field of maintaining unified state registers, for the understanding of which it is necessary to know the regulatory legislation, since the disposition of the criminal law norm provided for in Article 2853 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is of a blank nature. The study shows that a clear definition of unified state registers allows us to assess from a legal point of view which of them are the subject of a crime under Article 2853 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which is reflected in the correct qualification of criminal acts that infringe on relations in the field of maintaining unified state registers. The purpose of the study is to clarify the features of criminal law protection of relations in the field of maintaining unified state registers through the prism of understanding some of the characteristic features of unified state registers as the subject of a crime under Article 2853 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The conducted research allowed us to formulate the author's definition of the unified state registers, to clearly identify the features inherent in the unified state registers, which allows us to give a legal assessment of acts containing signs of a crime under Article 2853 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The methodological basis of the work is a synergetic approach, implemented through structural analysis and effective synthesis through the study of certain aspects of the criminal law phenomenon under consideration. The practical significance of the work consists in the possibility of distinguishing the attribution of unified state registers to the subject of a crime under Article 2853 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation from unified state registers that are not such, which will eventually be reflected in a clear distinction between criminal acts and other illegal ones.
