Eliseev M.A. Criminal characteristic of fictitious residence registration or household registration in housing accommodations in the Russian Federation

Abstract: The article considers the problems of the application of the composition of offences, introduced in 2013, and studies the issues of imposition of sanctions for fictitious residence or household registration of a citizen of the Russian Federation, fictitious residence registration of a foreign citizen or a stateless person, and fictitious household registration of a foreign citizen or stateless person. Due to the blanket nature of these provisions, the author reveals the content of their terminology. The author applies the set of general scientific and special research methods. The research methodology is based on the dialectical method with its requirements for objectivity, comprehensiveness, historicism and the specificity of truth. The author concludes that, since this deed is qualified as a misdemeanor (the most severe punishment is up to 3 years’ imprisonment), the general incentive norm can be applied, which is provided by the part 1, article 75 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (liberation form criminal responsibility upon active repentance).
