Abstract

The study provides an overview of the legal regulation on human traficking in the Russian Federation. It observes that the provision for this offence in the Russian Penal Code of 1996, as well as the guarantees of protection against human traficking in the Russian Constitution of 1993 were in force only for a short time. The issue is discussed on the basis of the statutory features of this criminal offence, with considerable attention to the analysis of the extended objective side of the offence in its basic, qualified, and particularly qualified types. The study focuses on the evident casuistry in the arrangement which was adopted and the severe penalties laid down for this crime. The author also points out some of the differences between the Russian provisions and the Polish regulations.

Keywords:
