The author of the article tells readers about the shortcomings of the criminal law norms, which are aimed at combating extremist crimes in Russia and Kazakhstan. In particular, these shortcomings lie in the basic concepts. This topic is the main one in this scientific study. The author also analyzes the correlation of criminal norms and norms of special laws in Russia and Kazakhstan. In addition to researching the problems that exist in the Criminal Laws of these countries and dealing with the fight against extremism, the author of this work takes the aim of working out proposals on how to eliminate these problems. The novelty of this research is the author's method of eliminating the contradictions found in legislation. These legal problems are complex. Today it is necessary to improve certain definitions of the General Part of the Criminal Law of Russia, as well as its general structure. Basic research methods: comparative-legal, systemic and logical analysis. The article formulates the main criminal-right definitions. Formulations could not be done without the use of methods of synthesis, abstraction and concretization, analogy and modeling. The study also used empirical methods: formal legal analysis of normative acts and literature, study and generalization of scientific theory, and others. In general, the article notes that the criminal legislation of Kazakhstan on combating extremism is more balanced. It uses more precise formulations of relevant legal norms. The wording is made on the basis of universal concepts. This avoids significant contradictions between the norms of the General and Special Parts of the Criminal Law. This study is useful for representatives of law enforcement and legislative bodies of Russia and Kazakhstan. The methodological discoveries described in the article can be used in the construction of consolidated legislation of the Eurasian Economic Union.
