GENESIS OF THE CRIMINAL LEGAL CATEGORY «PUBLIC DANGER» DURING THE FORMATION OF THE SOVIET AND CONTEMPORARY RUSSIAN STATE

The article is devoted to the fundamental category of criminal law - public danger. The connection between the legislative approach to understanding public danger and the political course of the state, as well as the school of law that dominates in a certain period of time, are revealed. It has been established that the public danger during the formation of the Soviet state was more regulated by law than in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation 1996. The governing principles of the criminal law of the RSFSR of 1919 disclosed the content of this category both in relation to the act and the person who committed the crime. The ideologically determined goal - the struggle against class enemies - predetermined the legislative vision of social danger to a greater extent precisely in relation to the personality of the criminal. In turn, the current criminal law is focused on socially dangerous acts, but does not disclose the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of this category. Such an interpretation is given by the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, however, an analysis of its generalizations of judicial practice allows us to conclude that there is excessive humanism towards criminals.
