The article presents a review of a monograph on the problems of penal law “Suspended sentence (release) with mandatory involvement in labor”. The monograph was published in “UNITY-DANA: Law and Right” in 2018 ISBN 978-5-238-03062-3. The author is Yuriy Anatol’evich Kashuba, DSc (Law), Professor, professor of penal law department at the Academy of the Federal penitentiary service of Russia. The monograph is recommended for publication by the Research Institute of Education and Science, as well as the International Educational and Methodological center “Professional textbook”. The monograph is devoted to Institutes of probation with mandatory involvement in labor and conditional release from places of liberty deprivation with mandatory involvement of the convict in labor. These institutions were founded since the decrees adoption of the Supreme Soviet Presidium of the USSR “About parole from places of imprisonment for convicts, who have embarked on a way of correction, for work on constructions of national economy enterprises” (adopted on 20.03.1964), “About probation with mandatory involvement of convicted persons in labor” (adopted on 12.06.1970). After liquidation of the USSR, they were canceled in 1993. Later, the legislator introduced new types of punishment – restriction of freedom, and later – forced labor that borrowed many elements from probation with mandatory involvement in labor (Article 24.2 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR) and parole with mandatory involvement of convicted persons in labor (Article 53.2 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR). The monograph can be used in improving the norms of criminal, criminal procedural and penal legislation, in the activities of the Penal system, in the process of teaching criminal and penal law and other related disciplines.

The article examines criminal acts, with which the law associates certain criminal legal consequences. The aim of the article is to substantiate the identification of various criminal acts and show their specificity in comparison with crimes. The research is based on the domestic criminal legislation, materials of judicial practice and the legislation of the Federal Republic of Germany. The research methods are: the method of comparative law, which allowed comparing the provisions about criminal offenses in the 1960 Criminal Code of the RSFSR and in the 1996 Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and the Criminal Code of Germany; the method of document analysis, which made it possible to analyze the judicial practice and proposals of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation on the introduction of provisions on criminal offences in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation; the formal-logical method that made it possible to analyze the content of the norms of the Criminal Code about criminal acts. The article concludes that, in addition to crimes, criminal acts should include: a criminal offence, which entails criminal liability in the form of replacing punishment with a more severe one (fine, compulsory labor, correctional labor, restriction of freedom as the main type of punishment, forced labor) or criminal liability in the form of the cancellation of any type of probation (suspended sentence, parole, deferred sentence, deferred sentence for drug addicts); a minor act; socially dangerous behavior of persons who are not subjects of a crime due to their minor age or insanity; innocent infliction of harm. The article shows the specificity of a misdemeanour, consisting in the fact that this act is not socially dangerous, does not contain signs of a crime, violates the liability of the convicted person to be subject to limitations arising from the court-appointed punishment or type of probation (suspended sentence, parole, deferred sentence, deferred sentence for drug addicts). It is substantiated that a minor act should be referred to circumstances that exclude the criminality of an act due to the absence of public danger, an essential feature of a crime. It is argued that acts, provided for by the Special Part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, committed in a state of insanity and entailing compulsory medical measures, should not be subject to criminal law. The article criticizes the judicial practice of a broad interpretation of the commission of a crime by a group of persons, according to which it is not only a co-execution, but also any execution of the objective side of the crime by several persons, of which only one can be the perpetrator. It is argued that causing harm due to the non-compliance of the psychophysiological qualities of a person with the requirements of an extreme situation does not apply to innocent infliction of harm.

The article provides a theoretical analysis of Part 1 of Article 82 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which defines the regime in correctional institutions of the Russian penal system. It is noted that this definition does not correspond to the achievements of modern penitentiary scientific thought about the regime. In particular, it is emphasized that the regime cannot provide conditions for serving a sentence, since it includes these conditions. Also, the regime cannot ensure the protection of convicts, supervision over them and separate maintenance of different categories of convicts, since, on the contrary, the latter are the means of ensuring the regime. According to the authors of the article, the legislator incorrectly uses the phrase regime of detention of convicts, meaning regime of serving a sentence, since they are different legal phenomena. It is noted that the most optimal definition of the regime is presented in the theoretical model of the general part of the new Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, prepared by a group of authors, but the authors also subjected this definition to some adjustments.

В статье рассмотрен такой инструмент исправления осужденных, как общественно полезный труд, который в Российской Федерации на законодательном уровне признан одним из эффективных инструментов исправления наряду с другими основными средствами исправительного воздействия. В работе в том числе рассматриваются проблемы принудительного труда осужденных. Авторы раскрыли порядок и условия организации привлечения к трудовой деятельности лиц, содержащихся в пенитенциарных учреждениях зарубежных стран. В статье проводится сравнительный анализ особенностей содержания, условий привлечения к труду осужденных в зависимости от вида пенитенциарного учреждения различных государств, организации работы осужденных, а именно оплаты труда, продолжительности трудовой деятельности, норм охраны труда, реализации права на отдых и социального обеспечения. Авторы помимо этого обобщают опыт трудовой дисциплины осужденных в пенитенциарных системах ряда развитых в экономическом и социальном плане государств. Изучая опыт зарубежных стран по привлечению заключенных к труду, представляется возможным перенять некоторые важные особенности, которые могут быть частично внедрены в отечественную уголовно-исполнительную систему. The article considers such a tool for the correction of convicts as socially useful work, which in the Russian Federation at the legislative level is recognized as one of the effective tools of correction along with other basic means of correctional influence. The article also deals with the problems of forced labor of convicts. The authors revealed the procedure and conditions for organizing the employment of persons held in places of forced isolation from the society of penitentiary institutions of foreign countries. The paper provides a comparative analysis of the features of the content, conditions for the employment of prisoners, depending on the type of penitentiary institution in different states, the working methods of prisoners, namely, remuneration, duration of work, labor protection standards, the exercise of the right to rest and social security. The authors also summarize the experience of labor discipline of prisoners in the penitentiary systems of a number of economically and socially developed countries. Studying the experience of foreign countries in attracting prisoners to work, it is possible to adopt some important features that can be partially implemented in the domestic penal system.

This paper analyzes the criminal legislation of the Russian Federation, which is 1 January 2017 marks the twentieth anniversary of the entry into force. Draws attention to a number of problems associated with the many changes made to the text of the Law. There is a significant difference between a modern edition of the Criminal code of the Russian Federation of the sample 2016 from the Criminal code of the Russian Federation at the time of its adoption in 1996. Indicates the number of egregious errors and omissions of the legislator in constructing the norms, not all of which today are corrected. It is stated that hitherto the criminal code of the Russian Federation in full is not entered into force. In particular, not put into effect the provisions of the Criminal code of the Russian Federation on the punishment in the form of arrest, despite the expiry of the deadline of entry (2006). Thus it is proved that stipulated by the legislator in the Criminal-Executive code of the Russian Federation of conditions of serving of arrest for much stricter than the conditions of detention of the convict in jail, which violates the principle of fairness criminal law. The authors emphasize that the economic factor in justifying the imposition of arrest generally not taken into account. In this connection, the conclusion about the need to exclude these norms of the current legislation. It is noted that a similar situation exists with the new punishment in the form of forced labor. The paper argues that the inability of the purpose of forced labor may result in adverse legal consequences for the persons serving compulsory work, corrective labour and restriction of freedom in case of malicious evasion from serving of the latter. The authors note, requires a final decision and issue the death penalty.

В статье актуализируется вопрос отсутствия в российском уголовно-исполнительном законодательстве главной обязанности осужденных - исправиться. Включение в Уголовно-исполнительный кодекс Российской Федерации данной обязанности обусловлено гуманным отношением государства к лицу, причинившему существенный вред человеку, обществу и государству, цивилизованными условиями отбывания наказания, соответствующими международным стандартам, теми огромными затратами, которые тратит государство на содержание осужденных и в целом на функционирование уголовно-исполнительной системы. Отсутствие у осужденных обязанности исправиться лишает весь процесс отбывания наказания какого-либо смысла, превращая исправительный процесс в юридическую фикцию. Нормативная регламентация обязанности осужденных исправиться имеет важное значение для эффективного достижения целей уголовного наказания и уголовно-исполнительного законодательства, определяет фундаментальную основу развития уголовно-исполнительной политики. Только такая мера будет способствовать стимулированию осужденных к реальному исправлению и, как следствие, снижению повторной и рецидивной преступности в стране. В силу этого считаем необходимым включить обязанность исправиться в перечень обязанностей осужденных, предусмотренных ст. 11 Уголовно-исполнительного кодекса Российской Федерации, нормативно регламентировать перечень критериев исправления осужденных, а исправление осужденного предусмотреть в качестве основания для его освобождения не только в случае условно-досрочного освобождения. Срок наказания должен быть динамичной категорией. Если он может сокращаться в случае предоставления осужденному условно-досрочного освобождения, то исходя из здравого смысла он должен и продлеваться в силу того, что осужденный не исправился. Именно поэтому невыполнение осужденным рассматриваемой обязанности исправиться, то есть его не исправление, должно стать условием продления судом срока назначенного ему наказания, поскольку цель исправления еще не достигнута. The article actualizes the issue of the absence of the main duty of convicts in the Russian penal legislation to reform. The inclusion of this obligation in the Criminal Executive Code of the Russian Federation is due to the humane attitude of the state towards the person who caused significant harm to a person, society and the state, civilized conditions for serving sentences, consistent with international standards, the enormous costs that the state spends on the maintenance of convicts and on the whole functioning penal system. The absence of the duty of the convicts to reform deprives the whole process of serving a sentence of any meaning, turning the correctional process into a legal fiction. The normative regulation of the duty of convicts to reform is important for the effective achievement of the goals of criminal punishment and penal legislation; it defines the fundamental basis for the development of penal policy. Only such a measure will help stimulate convicts to real correction and, as a result, reduce repeated and recidivism in the country. By virtue of this, we consider it necessary to include the obligation to improve in the list of duties of convicted persons provided for in 11 of the Penal Code of the Russian Federation, to regulate normatively the list of criteria for the correction of convicted persons, and to provide for the correction of the convicted person as a basis for his release, not only in the case of conditional release. The sentence should be a dynamic category. If it can be reduced if the convicted person is given parole, then on the basis of common sense, he should be extended because the convicted person has not recovered. That is why the failure of the convicted person to fulfill the duty to reform, i.e. its not correction, should become a condition for the extension of the term of punishment assigned to it by the court, since the purpose of correction has not yet been achieved.

The article presents the questions of constructing a system of criminal penalties under the legislation of the Russian Federation, the problems of imposing various types of punishments taking into account the rules for constructing criminal law sanctions. Changes and additions, various types of criminal penalties, including the content of sanctions in the articles, lead to an imbalance in the principles of their construction. The punishment system is currently in need of reform. An analysis of the sanctions of the articles of a special part of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation revealed inconsistencies with the requirements of legislative equipment in their development, which creates serious difficulties in the appointment of sentences by the courts. Penalties under criminal law sanctions include punishment in the form of punishment, forced labor, imprisonment for a specified period. The legislation does not take into account the nature and degree of threat to crimes committed in the formation of sanctions articles. Criminal law and criminal law protection, and criminal procedural requirements, and punishments. In accordance with the peculiarities of the formation of the punishment system, the creation of criminal sanctions, as well as taking into account the goals of punishment in the domestic criminal law, which allows us to develop recommendations on the preparation of sanctions for articles of the criminal code of the Russian Federation.

The subject. The article is devoted to problems of appointment some criminal punishments alternative to the deprivation of liberty by courts in Russian Federation. The author gives an answer to the question, why punishments not related to imprisonment in the Russian Federation, especially deprivation of the right to occupy certain positions or engage in cer-tain activities, corrective labor, restriction of freedom, forced labor, are rarely appointed by courts, and the most common alternative punishments are only fine and mandatory work.Methodology. Author uses such researching methods as analysis and synthesis, formally legal, comparative legal.Results. The author proposes some concrete measures, aimed at expanding the practice of appointment some criminal punishments alternative to the deprivation of liberty.It is necessary to reduce the size of the fine established in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. It is necessary to establish a penalty in the sanction of norms on crimes of small and medium gravity, committed for mercenary motives and connected with causing mate-rial damage.In order of more effective serving of punishments in the form of compulsory and corrective works, it is necessary to interest employers, it can be expressed in granting tax credit ben-efits. The searching of specific facilities for serving corrective labor should be assigned to employment centers.It seems expedient to introduce deprivation of the right to occupy certain positions or en-gage in certain activities as the main type of punishment to all sanctions of the norms about the responsibility for crimes of small or medium gravity related to the professional activities of the person. It is necessary to eliminate gaps in the legislative regulation of punishment in the form of restricted liberty and to solve the problem of electronic monitoring of convicts using elec-tronic bracelets.Conclusions. The punishment in the form of deprivation of liberty should be appointed by courts only in cases, when the crime is highly dangerous, the identity of the criminal is also characterized by a high degree of public danger. Serious changes are also needed in the legislative regulation of sentences not related to deprivation of liberty, and a number of other organizational measures aimed at expanding the practice of applying these punish-ments.

Changes made to Art. 191 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation at the end of 2019 in order to eliminate gaps in legislation, in fact, created even more conflicts in the theory and practice of applying criminal and administrative law. The legislator has not fully calculated the risks of the new edition of Art. 191 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The elimination of these risks requires more changes to the federal legislation, the adoption of new by-laws. Within the framework of Art. 191 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation the legislator created a contradiction regarding the qualification of illegal circulation of unique amber formations. Russian legislation does not contain a legal definition of semi-precious stones, clarification of their difference from precious stones. The concept of precious stones does not prove to be successful, since it contains a list-based reference of a particular stone to the category of precious stones, which does not always really reflect the economic value of a particular mineral. The list of semi-precious stones at the level of the Government of Russia has yet to be approved. Taking into account the administrative prejudice as one of the conditions for criminal prosecution for illegal trafficking in semiprecious stones, it should be the same with the list of semi-precious stones established to bring an individual to administrative responsibility for similar offenses. The legislator did not pay attention to the issues of delimiting jewelry and household products and scrap of such products from the subject of crimes under Art. 191 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. An even greater problem is the inconsistency between the norms of administrative and criminal legislation on liability for illegal trafficking in semi-precious stones.
