Crimes of Minors of the Followers of the Columbine Movement («Schoolshooting») Against Minors
( Pp. 140-149)

Purpose of the study. The article examines the problems of improving the composition of the crime providing for responsibility for the actions of school shooters, the so-called «Columbiners» in the Russian Federation. To achieve this goal, the work used a set of well-known scientific research methods, including the analysis of scientific literature, legislative acts and regulations, as well as the study of the experience of other countries and international organizations. The purpose of the study is to develop proposals for improving the legal regulation of counteracting the influence of destructive movements on minors. Conclusions. In the course of the study, the author comes to the conclusion that the current version of Art. 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation does not take into account the commission of an act «against a known minor» as a qualifying feature, and teenagers attack them, realizing their defenselessness. In order to restore the legal accuracy of the criminal law, we consider it necessary to formulate a separate article «Attack on an educational institution» or other social facility (hospital, clinic). It is necessary to provide for administrative or criminal liability in the event of a repeated act for posting information about a destructive movement or participation in a destructive movement.
