Criminal Liability for Sabotage: Standard Improvement Ways from the Perspective of the Foreign and Russian Experience

The article examines the foreign and domestic experience of the legal regulation of criminal liability for sabotage. The authors considered the issues of possible improvement of criminal law counteraction to sabotage, namely: to provide for criminal liability for sabotage in a separate article; to supplement article 281 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation with a note providing the basis for exemption from criminal liability for timely warning of authorities or contributing to the prevention of sabotage; to differentiate responsibility depending on the form of guilt in relation to the consequences in the form of deaths of people; criminalize failure to report a person who, according to reliably known information, is preparing, committing or has committed sabotage.
