Abstract
The article discusses the development and current state of the criminal legislation of Russia, China and Mongolia regarding the application of the death penalty. Particular attention is paid to the list of offenses for which the death penalty can be applied, the grounds for suspending the execution of punishment, as well as the categories of persons to whom this punishment is not imposed. The study was conducted, including on the basis of judicial practice, the positions of the highest courts of 3 states. Of particular relevance to the topic is the fact that in 2017 Mongolia was the first among Asian states to exclude the death penalty as a punishment from the criminal law.
