Content of Criminal Public Calls for Violation of Territorial Integrity of the Russian Federation

Abstract

In the article the author notes, that public calls for the territorial disorganization of the state have different content. The author concludes, that the content of appeals can be both abstract violent and non-violent actions, and concretized violent and non-violent actions. The researcher points out, that appeals should be aimed at reducing the territory of the Russian Federation. Public calls for the separation of municipalities from the territory of the Russian Federation have a high degree of public danger and can lead to an irreversible disruption of the existing economic, social, and political ties in the state. The opinion is given, that calls to increase the territory of the state by annexing new territories in some cases can also be criminal. The author gives a definition of the concept of "call" according to the position of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation. The objective form, in which the call is denounced, does not affect the qualification. Researcher notes, that the crime is considered completed even with the proclamation of one call. The justification of actions, aimed at reducing the territory of the state, constitutes a crime only, if they are accompanied by public appeals, which have a psychological impact on the addressees.
