Differentiation of a terrorist act and related elements of crimes
The article deals with the components of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation related to a terrorist act: murder committed in a generally dangerous way; intentional destruction or damage to someone else's property and sabotage. For comparison, both materials from scientific and theoretical literature and information from explanatory resolutions of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation are used. The differentiation of related compositions has an important role both in practice when qualifying a specific socially dangerous act, and in theory when developing improvements to the provisions of the criminal legislation of the Russian Federation. Taking into account the increased public danger of a terrorist act, the relevance of the work and its benefits for qualification are indisputable.
