УДК 343.2 ББК 67.408.018
Abstract
The distinction between Articles 285 and 286 of the Russian Criminal Code, addressing abuse andexcess of official powers, has been a focal point of legal discourse. This study critically evaluates thisdifferentiation against the backdrop of escalating official criminal activities. By scrutinizing legal texts,judicial interpretations, and scholarly opinions, the research challenges the established criteria by theSupreme Court, emphasizing discrepancies in both subjective and objective elements. This analysis questionsthe adequacy of the rules separating these offenses. The article explores diverse perspectives, advocating fortheir merger due to substantial similarities and the growing complexity of official crimes.In contemporary contexts, where the dynamics of official misconduct have evolved, it's essential toreassess legal frameworks. Officials often engage in multifaceted illicit activities that blur the line betweenabuse and excess of power. A unified approach is pivotal for just adjudication. Merging these articles can leadto a more nuanced legal framework, better suited to address the intricate nature of modern official crimes.
