Abstract

The objective of the research is to analyze the current criminal legislation in countering illegal logging. Achieving the objective set has become possible due to solving the following tasks: analysis of the state criminal policy in countering the ecological crimes; study of legislative base for its conformity to the needs of the executor of law; study of Art. 1911 of the CC of the RF and Art. 260 of the CC of the RF for identifying the features of components of crimes to facilitate proper qualification of crimes; making suggestions on improvement of legislation on forest protection. The choice and content of the study methods are conditioned by its subject and tasks that allowed to use the scientific cognition method of three levels: empirical, experimental-theoretical and theoretical levels. The clarification of particular features of the components of crimes determined in the research that has been based on the current legislation and the analyzed judicial and investigative practice will facilitate the correct criminal law assessment of socially dangerous infringements regulated by Art. 1911 of the CC of the RF and Art. 260 of the CC of the RF. As a result of the conducted research, we concluded that the stability of the current legislation on forest protection directly depends on its “mobility”, as the regulatory activity makes it possible to eliminate the existing gaps in the legislation identified in the course of the law enforcement practice.
