ON SUBJECT OF PROPERTY CRIMES

The article examines the methodological issues of the crime subject as one of the objective features of the composition of criminal infringement. At the same time, the «real» concept of the pre-meta crime is subjected to critical analysis, according to which the material elements of the external world, above all things, should be understood as the subject of crime. It appears that the content of the subject of crimes against property (chapter 21 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) is reasonably interpreted in the general doctrine of property crimes and explanations of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation in broad terms, embracing both things (rec corporales) and other objects property relations (rec incorporales) in the part in which they constitute the economic value, have a value expression and are subject to monetary valuation. It is concluded that the subject of encroachments described in Chapter 21 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation should be considered property, property benefits and advantages in the form of: a) receipt of guilty cash and non-cash money,
documentary and non-documentary securities, currency valuables, other movable or immovable property (land plot, subsoil block, apartment or room in residential buildings,
non-residential premises, business or other object representing a property complex);
b) concessions (grantings) of property rights, including in their composition both the right to property, including the right of claim of the creditor, and other rights having monetary expression, for example, the exclusive right to the results of intellectual activity and the means of individualization equivalent to them; c) performing work (for example, performing construction or repair work) or providing services (for example, transferring tour packages purchased by the victim to a guilty person, repairing an apartment or car, constructing a dacha, etc.) that have monetary value; d) simplification of debt (refusal to demand repayment of debt through, for example, the destruction of a debt receipt); discounts from debts; deferrals or installments of payments; reduction in the amount of rent and other payments; obtaining preferential loans (reducing interest rates for the use of bank loans); the execution of the property obligation of the guilty party or other persons to the victim (for example, repayment of the debt); e) other complete or partial exemption from property obligations, as well as improper extraction of any other material privileges or advantages.
