Abstract

This paper discusses the criminal responsibility for crimes in the field of economic activity, which is envisaged by the rules of Chapter 22 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The economic and political transformations taking place in Russia have determined the need to reform the entire legal system in general and criminal law in particular. The transition to new economic relations focused on the free development of a market economy, on free entrepreneurship, fair competition with the equality of all forms of ownership, created (as a by-product) the conditions for committing socially dangerous acts not previously known to criminal law. In an effort to implement the idea of “everything, which is not explicitly forbidden by law, is allowed,” the state provided an opportunity for new business entities to act independently, without government intervention, which objectively created the conditions for abuse and fraudulent operations by dishonest business entities. These socially dangerous actions (manifestations of monopoly, unfair competition, deception of creditors, false bankruptcy, etc.) affected the interests of all economic entities, the state, and private entrepreneurs, and prevented the progressive development of new economic relations.
