INSTITUTE OF CONDITIONAL CONDEMNATION IN GUIDING BASICS OF CRIMINAL LAW OF THE RSFSR 1919 YEAR: CONCEPTUAL BASES AND HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE

The article carried out a historical excursion of the emergence and formation of the institution of conditional conviction. It has been established that the first sources of Soviet criminal law only mentioned conditional conviction. The procedure for its application and the time frame of the legislator were not determined. For the first time in Russian legislation, the peculiarities of the appointment of a suspended sentence were revealed in the Guidelines on Criminal Law of R.S.F.S.R. 1919. However, despite this, in the science of criminal law, the need to apply the above-mentioned institution was still perceived for some period. In this connection, the author analysed various doctrinal provisions taking into account the understanding of the legislative regulation of the institution of conditional conviction of the Guidelines on Criminal Law of R.S.F.S.R. 1919 and the practice of their application. In addition, a comparative legal analysis of the said source and content of articles 73 and 74 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation was carried out in terms of continuity and prospects for optimization of modern criminal legislation. It was concluded that it is preferable to legislate the definition of suspended conviction in article 73 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
