Abstract
We investigate the possibility of introducing criminal liability of legal entities in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. We analyze the provisions of regulatory enactment providing for this substantial reform. We consider initiatives and projects proposed by public authorities to amend and supplement domestic legislation. We examine the positions of reputable ex-perts, famous scientists and high-demand practitioners, who express opposite opinions on the initiated correlations and participating in the discussion. We analyze the provisions of the conventions of international organizations pro-viding for the introduction of criminal liability of legal entities in the legisla-tion of member states, due to involvement in corruption crimes, if bribery of foreign officials and corporate corruption were used. The work discusses the provisions of the bill of 2015 finalized by the Investigative Committee of Russia on the introduction of criminal liability for legal entities for the com-mission of crimes contained in the current thirty eight articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, to which Russian, as well as a number of foreign companies and international organizations represented and separate units. We draw conclusions and make suggestions for further improvement of the Criminal code of the Russian Federation.
