Revisiting the Concept of Economic Crimes in Russian Criminal Legislation
( Pp. 374-378)

Abstract: Purpose of the study. Issues of theoretical understanding of economic crimes under the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation are being considered, noting that there is currently no common perception of economic crimes. The author marks that the category of "economic crimes" is relative, because there is no normative definition of such a social phenomenon in Russian criminal legislation. In some legal sources, however, the term is used unambiguously.
The author concludes that section VIII of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Crimes in the sphere of economy" includes a fairly extensive list of criminal acts, however, chapter 22 included in it has a narrow content that does not cover many forms of criminal behaviour of an economic orientation.
