Criminal Liability as a Legal Fact-State
( Pp. 48-54)

The article examines the nature of criminal liability in the context of its doctrinal interpretation and normative regulation with an emphasis on the time frame of its social and legal existence. Scientific comprehension of the stated problem pursued the goal of expanding the extensive fundamental knowledge about the essence, element composition and forms of implementation of criminal liability already achieved by criminal law thought. Within the framework of the set objectives of the study, through a systematic, functional and logical-legal analysis, the author reveals the continuing nature of criminal liability as a legal fact – the state in which a person found guilty of committing a crime is, undergoing a measure of state coercion applied to him from the moment of conviction (conviction) to the moment of annulment of the conviction. The conclusion is substantiated about the expediency of improving the legislative regulation of the norm of Article 86 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation in order to clarify the time limits of the criminal law existence of criminal liability.
