Abstract

The article elaborates on the concepts of “authority” and “armed resistance to the authorities” as a condition to be held criminally liable for organizing mass disorder and participating in mass riots. The author summarizes and analyses the views of scholars on the interpretation of concepts related to riots. The necessity of criminal liability for resistance to either representatives of authorities, or other persons deterring riots is justified. Besides, the author suggests amending legal rules of the Criminal Code on the liability for rioting, in the part connected with putting up any resistance to persons deterring riots.

Keywords
