Preconditions of Criminalization of Rehabilitation of Nazism in the Russian Federation

The Authors conclude that the establishment of criminal liability for acts under article 3541 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation corresponds to the basic principles of criminalization. The paper notes that the rehabilitation of Nazism has a sufficient degree of public danger, the positive consequences of criminalization exceed the negative, and in Russian society there is a consolidated opinion about the inadmissibility of such actions. The Authors also point to the shortcomings in the legal technique inherent in article 3541 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, namely the mismatch of the title and content; partly the wrong choice of generic and specific object of the crime; the absence of a note limiting the scope of the article, etc., which complicates law enforcement.
