Development of the Institute of Criminological Comparativistics in the Russian Federation

The article poses the task, as applied to the Russian Federation, to consider the issues of criminological comparativistics that are actually blank in the legal science. This problem is important not only for Russia. It is international in its essence. The modern world is arranged in such a way that the bearers of positive experience in the fight against crime and its receptors are equally interested in order to make the best of this part to enter public domain as soon as possible. This altruistic interest (unlike technology) is primarily due to the fact that now, in the period of highly developed technologies and ultra-mobility, criminals from different countries and continents have practically no obstacles to the improvement of their criminal activity. As for the unresolved issues of the theory and practice of proper provision of international cooperation, there are a lot of them, in contrast to the sphere of criminal interaction. Taking into account the above conceptual provisions, the content of the article was determined. In particular, the article highlights theoretical preconditions for the perception of foreign experience in fighting against crime and the priority directions for using foreign experience in preventing specific types of crimes. The problems in question were solved both in the modern and in the historical aspects by means of a criminological reference to classical sources, such as the Great Yassa created by Genghis Khan, Peter the Great Decrees, and the US financial legislation designed to overcome the Great Depression . The author's arguments on this account are justified by the jurisprudence enshrined in international documents and the national legislation of the cooperating countries. We also used the results of our joint scientific research carried out together with our foreign colleagues, our experience of working for the governing bodies of the International Association of Criminal Law (IAPM) and the International Criminological Society (ICE).
