CRIMINAL LIABILITY FOR PREMEDITATED MURDER DURING THE REIGN OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE AND DURING THE SOVIET PERIOD

Abstract

In this article, the author analyzed the features of criminal liability for premeditated murder during the reign of the Russian Empire and during the Soviet period. The author notes that the norms of the Code were already quite close to the modern level, both constructively and from the point of view of determining aggravating and mitigating signs, and the Criminal Code in force on the territory of the Soviet republics almost completely ceased to apply Sharia norms. At the end of the article, appropriate conclusions were drawn.
