Abstract
The article is devoted to qualifying types of compulsion to give evidence or coercion of an expert to make a report. The article also discusses certain problematic issues related to the amendments introduced by Federal Law No. 307-FZ of July 14, 2022 to the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (in Part 1 of Article 302), as well as analyzes the provisions of Resolution No. 20 of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated June 28, 2022 “On certain judicial issues practice in criminal cases of crimes against justice”. Special attention in the article is paid to the analysis of the ratios of such methods of compulsion to give evidence as other illegal actions, violence, mockery and torture.
