"How to determine the damage from economic crimes”. Ksenia Amdur for Pravo.ru
Nowhere in the law is it specified how exactly to calculate the damage from an economic crime. Some courts take into account the market value of the stolen property, while others take into account the purchase value. Some include VAT in the amount of damages, others do not. If the obligations are partially fulfilled, then the courts in some cases take into account the costs, in other cases -they do not. Because of this, confusion often arises in practice.

"How to prove good faith and reasonableness of top manager's actions". Ksenia Amdur for Pravo.ru
Реалии отечественного уголовного судопроизводства таковы, что следует разделять предусмотренное государством законодательное регулирование вопроса о привлечении топ-менеджеров к ответственности и то, каким образом судебно-уголовная система подходит к вопросу оценки доказательств обвинения. Одним из основополагающих принципов уголовного процесса является принцип вины, который означает, что лицо подлежит уголовной ответственности только за те общественно опасные деяния и наступившие общественно опасные последствия, в отношении которых установлена его вина.

Let us judge for ourselves: what is the danger of the state monopoly on expertise? Ksenia Amdur commented for Pravo.ru
The government wants to take advantage of the recently adopted amendments to the law on state appraisal and give eight types of forensic examinations to the exclusive competence of state forensic organisations. The draft decree concerns expert examinations in criminal cases and cases of disputing the cadastral value of real estate. Experts are sceptical about the latter initiative. They warn that "monopolization" of the appraisal will lead to an increase in the workload of state experts and will have a detrimental effect on the adversarial nature of the process in such cases.

"Constitutional Court separates incident and offence". Commented by Ksenia Amdur for Pravo.ru
The Constitutional Court has allowed an appeal against the lawfulness and validity of the reason for refusing to initiate criminal proceedings. An investigator may refuse if he does not see an event or corpus delicti. Investigators and courts may confuse the two grounds, but there is a difference between them, the CC said. And confusion can lead to a person being indirectly accused of a misdemeanour, even if there is insufficient evidence. Lawyers were optimistic about the ruling.
