Georgievkskiy, E.V. On the issue of incompleted attempt of crime in the criminal law of the Ancient Russia.

Abstract: The institution of incompleted attempt of crime in the criminal law of the ancient Russian state is hardly well studied and quite topical. The surviving legal texts of that time do not include references or definitions of the stages of crime, which was natural for the legal techniques of that time. Various fragments of stages of completion of crime are provided for on case by case basis in accordance with the legal practice, and sometimes they lack clear formulae. The opinions of the scholars on the presence/absence of the legislatively provided stages of crime (mostly on attempt) in the ancient Russian crimnal law are divided and both sides have their own arguments. The scholars suporting the position of presence of provisions on attempt of crime in the ancient Russian law insist that it should be interpreted literally and refer to the terminology. Those in opposition of this view point out that the institution of incompleted attempt of crime could not have existed in the ancient Russian law, due to the lack of development of the subjective elements of crime. Probably the truth lies in between these two points. The ancient Russian law did not fully ref lect the institution of incompleted attempt of crime, which in fact existed in legal practice. This position of the author is based upon the comparative analysis of some similar norms of legislation of other Slavic states and the Western European states of the same historical period.
