Dubovik, O.L. Review. Models of system of crimes in the modern criminal law (sost: Jordan Aidarov), Sofi a: University Publisher “Paisius of Hilendar”, 2013. – 168 p.

Abstract: The review provides references to the positions of criminal law science of Bulgaria and Russia on the issues of modeling the system of crimes in the criminal legislation of the modern period and in the historical aspect. Efficient and substantiated systems of crime systematization (there is over 100 of them right now) are aimed at guaranteeing sustainability, stability and efficient application of norms of criminal law, but still science has not provided for an optimum model, and the current legislations of Bulgaria and Russia still do not satisfy the criteria and conditions for the systemic character. The author notes similarities in many positions of Bulgarian specialists regarding modeling the system of crimes and positions reflected in the Russian criminal law literature. It is noted that the collection is a source of information on the modern situation and tendencies in the criminal law of Bulgaria after it joined the EU, and on the movements in the Bulgarian science of criminal law. The author of the review pays attention to the fact that lately this information became less easily accessible and it is less often used for comparative legal studies in general and studies in criminal law in particular. The author notes high level and detailed character of analysis of many issues whether concerning models of the system of crimes or historical legal analysis.
