Abstract: Formation of a rule-of-law state is aimed at protection of the rights of society and individuals in all spheres of life. The strife to achieve this goal should be a defining factor in economics. The shortcomings of anti-monopoly legislation previously did not allow to adapt competition regulation to the Russian economic reality. The article contains an opinion that in order to fight economic crime, humanization of criminal legislation should be aimed upon prevention of bad-faith competition of economic subjects, abusing their dominant positions. Since state plays an important role in Russian economy (unlike many Western states), many markets are monopolized by state or municipal enterprises,  or the privatized economic subjects. Based on the analysis of the shortcomings of anti-monopoly legislation, the author proposes a way to lower the level of economic crime.

Abstract: The subject of crimes against human health is a physical mentally sane person, who has achieved the age established by criminal law, who is guilty of committing the said crimes.  Establishing the elements of crime subject in crimes against human health is an important element to precise qualification of crimes in legal practice.  However, in some cases this work is complicated by ambiguous interpretation of three obligatory and one additional element, and overly blank character of their formulation.  The fourth additional element (special subject), which is present in p. 2 of Art. 118, Art. 121, p.2,3 Art. 122, p.4 Art. 122, p .3 Art 123 and Art. 124 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation causes most problems in qualification of crimes.  Correct establishing of the subjective element of crime is of prominent value for the criminal legal evaluation of causing grave harm to health. The subject acting against health of other person understands the character of harm to health, as well as its amount and a number of other objective circumstances and consequences relevant for criminal law evaluation of a crime.
