Abstract

The conformity of defence with the nature and risk of assault is one of the most controversial aspects incriminal law science. If a socially dangerous assault or threat of its implementation did not involve violencedangerous to the life of the defending person or another person, the law obliges the defending person tochoose a special pattern of conduct in accordance with Part 2 of Article 37 of the Criminal Code of theRussian Federation, namely to find a way to repel the attack that will correspond to the nature and dangerof the assault.However, the law does not contain clear criteria for the determination of defence measures, which notonly limits citizens «ability to repel assaults, but also promotes sentences where the actions of the defendingperson are incorrectly classified either as exceeding the limits of the justifiable defence or on general grounds.Criminal law science offers different approaches to solving the problem, from establishing some criteria torenouncing them (completely unlimited defence).
