Abstract
The Criminal Code of the Russian Federation does not contain the concept of multiple offenses. At the same time, the institution of the multiple offenses occupies a significant niche in the Russian criminal law, and a clear understanding of its essence is vital for the proper qualification of criminal acts, and the formation of justified law enforcement practice. The article examines and analyzes the main views of Soviet and modern Russian researchers on the issue of the concept of multiple offenses. Some positions of foreign criminal legislation on the issue are also analyzed. Based on the results of the analysis, the concept of multiple offenses is formulated, according to the author, which maximally reflects the essence of the institution.
