On the crisis of Russian criminal law (re-reading A.E. Zhalinsky)

The author discusses two types of crisis in Criminal Law: on the one hand, the crisis of criminal law doctrine, which has already been sufficiently investigated, on the other - the crisis of Criminal Law itself, which Professor A.E. Zhalinsky was one of the first to write about, highlighting its (crisis) social and legal signs. Through the analysis of both, using a large illustrative material (economic, statistical, doctrinal), the author comes to the conclusion that Criminal Law is currently in a state of crisis, while different crisis signs have different degrees of severity.
