Abstract

Some trends of reforming criminal legislation are analyzed in the context of Russia’s modernization policy. Special attention is given to criminal policy liberalization proposals with regard to tax crime countermeasures. These proposals are also considered along with lawmaker’s first steps towards mentioned goals in 2009. The author finds that the same approach to economic crime of any other kind is needed to retain a tough approach to other criminal acts, especially violent.
