The article deals with the question of the formal criterion for dividing crimes into categories. The authors believe that the limits of punishability enshrined in the rule on the categorization of crimes should be indicated more clearly. It is noted that the legislator admits a logical miscalculation concerning the violation of the rule on the unity of the basis for the division of members of the classification. In this connection the necessity of isolating unwary grave crimes is substantiated. A proposal is made to adjust the sanctions of a number of articles by narrowing their unreasonably wide range undermining the meaning of the categorization of crimes. The idea of introducing «exceptional gravity of crime» as well as standard sanctions in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is subject to a critical assessment. However it is proposed to allocate a number of criminal acts, for the commission of which no deprivation of liberty is envisaged, into a separate category of crime. The authors define the rules for the consistent description of sentences.

The article is devoted to the consideration of the problems of application of Art. 327, Part 3 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, related to the operation of the norm in time; with delimitation from the norm covered by Art. 327, Part 5 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation; with the content of such an act as use, the moment of its ending, the matching with the counterfeit, as well as with the acquisition, storage and transportation. The author substantiates the conclusion about the need to exclude Part 5 of Art. 327 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation; a broader definition of the concept of “use of a knowingly forged document” is proposed, including not only the submission of such a document in order to obtain (confirm) the rights or relieve from responsibilities, but also the very use of the obtained rights or relieving from responsibilities on the basis of the submitted document; the critical assessment of the actions of a person ordered the forged document with providing personal information is done, such actions are considered as complicity in the forgery. The author’s attention is drawn to the prevalence of incompleteness of the wording of the accusation when qualifying the actions of persons who acquired, stored, transported a forged document in order to use it, and then used it. The article formulates recommendations for solving the issues of applying Part 3 of Article 327 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

The authors question the validity of the criminal legal assessment under Art. 238 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation of actions of persons who make handicraft alcoholcontaining surrogates, store them at the place of residence and sell them ‘off hand’ under the guise of alcoholic beverages. The foundations of this practice were laid by the changes made to the content of Art. 238 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation in 1999. Having extended the said rule not only to cases of circulation of low-quality goods in the legal consumer market, but also to the facts of the sale of goods dangerous to the life and health of consumers in the shadow sector of the economy, the legislator ‘transferred’ a wide range of acts previously assessed as administrative offenses. The work substantiates the position that the actions of persons who make and sell alcoholic surrogates ‘from hand’ are of an administratively punishable nature, they can be criminal only if they cause harm to the life and health (of any severity) of ‘consumers’.

The existing legislation determines the education as "an integral and focused process of teaching and upbringing, which represents a socially important value and shall be implemented so as to meet the interests of the individual, the family, the society and the state". However, even in this part, the meaning of the notion ‘socially significant benefit is not specified and allows for a wide range of interpretation [2]. Yet the more inconcrete is the answer to the question – "who and how should determine the interests of the individual, the family and even the state?" The national doctrine of education in the Russian Federation, which determined the goals of teaching and upbringing, the ways to attain them by means of the state policy regulating the field of education, the target achievements of the development of the educational system for the period up to 2025, approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 4, 2000 #751, was abrogated by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of March 29, 2014 #245 [7]. The new doctrine has not been developed so far. The RAE Academician A.B. Khutorsky believes that the absence of the national doctrine of education presents a threat to national security and a violation of the right of citizens to quality education. Accordingly, the teacher has to solve the problem of achieving the harmony of interests of the individual, the family, the society and the government on their own, which, however, judging by the officially published results, is the task that exceeds the abilities of the participants of the educational process.  The particular concern about the results of the patriotic upbringing served as a basis for the legislative initiative of the RF President V. V. Putin, who introduced the project of an amendment to the Law of RF "About Education of the Russian Federation" to the State Duma in 2020, regarding the quality of patriotic upbringing [3]. Patriotism, considered by the President of RF V. V. Putin as the only possible idea to unite the nation is "THE FEELING OF LOVE OF THE MOTHERLAND" and the readiness for every sacrifice and heroic deed for the sake of the interests of your Motherland. However, the practicing educators experience shortfalls in efficient methodologies of patriotic upbringing, which should let them bring up citizens, loving their Motherland more than themselves. The article is dedicated to solution to this problem based on the Value-sense paradigm of upbringing educational dynasty of the Kurbatovs [15].
