Abstract

this work is dedicated to problems related to the ways of establishing certainty or uncertainty of the referential norms of the Criminal Code of Russia and also to defining the concept of the referential norm of criminal legislation. The author analyzes certain decisions of the Constitutional Court of Russia and examines some of this Court’s legal positions including those concerning the impugned referential norms of the Criminal Code of Russia violating the principle of formal certainty and, accordingly, found to be unconstitutional. He also formulates the ideas related to possible methods to compose the referential norms of the Criminal Code of Russia as well as the corresponding legal provisions to be taken into account by legislative and executive authorities
