Subornation in struggle against corruption: dialectic contradiction and ways out of it
Objective: to consider the issue of efficiency of anti-corruption policy and criminal law in corruption counteraction, primarily, bribery.
Methods: systemic method, general scientific methods (structural-functional analysis, comparison, logical method, content analysis of the practice of the courts and the mass media).
Results: the authors critically evaluated the existing state of affairs in corruption counteraction and grounded the necessity of the exception from the Russian Criminal Code of the norm stipulated by Article 304 ("Entrapment for a bribe or commercial subornation"), as not corresponding to the modern criminological realities. At the same time, the successful corruption counteraction (including its most dangerous and widespread manifestation – bribery) requires a nonstandard approach, one part of which could be the legalization of a norm of legitimate provocation.
Scientific novelty: the article describes the author's attitude to the problem of corruption crime counteraction. The use of non-standard (hard) measures against bribery is justified.
Practical significance: the possibility to increase the efficiency of the corruption counteraction mechanism through the application of adequate criminal-legal measures.
