metadata.value: The article is devoted to the study of directions for improving the norm governing criminal
  liability for perjury. The relevance of the research topic is due to the stability of the indicators
  of these acts, as well as the importance and diversity of social relations that suffer from their commission. The authors analyzed 230 court verdicts issued in connection with the commission
  of an act under Art. 307 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The results of
  the analysis were compared with the opinions of scientists and foreign experience of legal
  counteraction to perjury. The study of sentences made it possible to identify the most common
  motives for the crime, including selfish motives. The article substantiates the expediency
  of including this feature in Part 2 of Art. 307 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation,
  since it increases the social danger of a crime. In addition, the analysis of sentences made it
  possible to identify 42 episodes (18,2 %) in which false testimony or conclusions of participants
  in the process indirectly testified to the presence of collusion. Since many facts of perjury that
  reinforce each other reduce the likelihood of their detection and increase the likelihood of
  making an erroneous decision, it is proposed to consolidate the forms of complicity in Part 2
  of Art. 307 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation as qualifying signs. The authors
  also provide a justification for the fact that the sanctions established for giving false testimony
  do not contribute to the effective protection of protected relations. The main drawback is the
  lack of consistency with other norms. The article proposes to arrange among themselves the
  sanctions provided for the commission of related crimes. The wording of the relevant article
  has been formulated, which can be used as a recommendation for improving legislation.
