Abstract

The practice of application of the rules of Chapter 26 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation which prescribes punishment for environmental pollution is studied in the article de lege lata. The author came to the conclusion that current unsatisfactory situation is determined by the imperfection of the existing system of establishing rules and enactments in the aforementioned Chapter 26 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The ways of solution of the above mentioned problem are offered de ledge ferenda, namely certain criminal and legal provisions should be devoted and applied to protection of each component of the environment. Chapter 26 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation should contain a general rule prescribing punishment for causing harm to the environment without specifying the natural component which is exposed to criminals.

Keywords
