Правовое положение иностранных граждан при исполнении уголовных наказаний: история, современное состояние, перспективы развития

Abstract

The article discusses the peculiarities of the application of Russian penal enforcement legislation in relation to a special specific category of convicts - foreign citizens. In the course of the research, general and special methods of scientific cognition were used: dialectical, formal-logical, functional, system-structural, comparative-legal, as well as the method of legal modeling. Attention is drawn to the development of the penal status of foreign citizens since the XVII century. The paper notes that the process of execution of criminal penalties with the participation of foreign persons has peculiar features. The authors come to the conclusion that the need to improve the legal regulation of the penal enforcement status of convicted foreign citizens makes it possible to propose the introduction of an additional measure of punishment in relation to the category of convicts under study - the criminal expulsion of foreign citizens from the Russian Federation.
