Abstract
The classification of a terrorist act (Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) experiences law enforcement problems due to the complexity of the legal rule and gaps in the current legislation. In the criminal law doctrine, these issues remain debatable, in practice there is also no uniform approach. The paper studies the features of the elements of a terrorist act, reveals the complex issues of classifying a crime and delimiting it from related elements. The authors note that when characterizing the object of the crime in question, the following should be borne in mind: the main object of a terrorist act is deemed to be public safety, an additional object — the life, health of citizens and (or) property belonging to them. Moreover, domestic legislation does not contain a definition of public safety. This term does not have a universally recognized definition in international law. The paper provides recommendations on the application of the criminal law rule about a terrorist act and on the improvement of legislation.
