Abstract
The subject of the work is the status and prospects of criminal law liability for various violations of the special legal regime of legally protected secrets. Considering the specifics of criminal liability for violation of confidentiality of information, experts traditionally focus on certain legally protected secrets and a detailed analysis of the relevant corpus delicti, which does not allow to cover the problem of protection of information of limited access by criminal law means as a whole. The author of this article performed a comprehensive legal analysis of criminal liability for violation of legal regime of secrets protected by law and other restricted information on the basis of a set of unlawful acts of non-compliance with the requirements of the regime. Methodologically, the study is based on a set of modern general scientific and private legal methods. It is based on the comparative legal method, which allows to compare the norms of criminal legislation of Russia, CIS countries, European and other states. The author draws attention to the existing differences and notes that some provisions of the modern Russian criminal law do not meet the requirements of the time, modern challenges and threats of the global information society in the conditions of building a digital economy. Based on a generalized analysis of the regulatory legal framework of the Russian Federation, foreign states and existing doctrinal views, the conclusion is made about the unsystematic composition of crimes aimed at violating the legal regime of secrets protected by law and other information of limited access. The author additionally notes the need to separate eco-nomic espionage and intentional disclosure of trade secrets into separate corpus delicti. Certain shortcomings of the Russian criminal law is the lack of corpus delicti aimed at the protection of legal regimes of professional and official secrets, personal data. Taking into account changes in the attitude to the institution of adoption and global trends in the protec-tion of children's rights, the possibility of decriminalisation of the disclosure of adoption secrets in modern conditions has been argued. The above and other problems identified in Russian criminal law with regard to the protection of legally established secrets and other restricted information are aimed at improving criminal legislation.
