CRIMINALISATION OF ACTS RELATED TO INFRINGEMENT ON RELIGIOUS OBJECTS IN REVERED PLACES
The article notes that the Russian Federation continues to search for an optimal model of state-confession relations. Criminalising in Russia's Criminal Code theft of objects of a religious cult is proved necessary. It should be criminalised as the determining indicia in one of the parts of Art. 148 of Russia's Criminal Code, ‘Violation of the right to freedom of conscience and religion' as currently there is no special rule for a similar committed act, unlike some criminal laws of foreign countries.
