metadata.value: The article analyzes the notion of voluntariness used by the legislator in the notes to Art. 291 of
  the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Giving a bribe” and Art. 2911 of the Criminal
  Code of the Russian Federation “Mediation in bribery”. The use of this category in the practice
  of law enforcement agencies is not uniform, as evidenced by the extensive jurisprudence analyzed
  in the article. The main problem lies in the contradictory assessment of the fact that the
  accused is aware of the fact that the preliminary investigation authorities are aware of his participation in bribery or mediation in bribery. In most cases the courts ignore this circumstance
  and attach legal significance not to the awareness of the accused himself, but to the awareness
  of the preliminary investigation bodies that a person has committed a crime. As a result,
  having established that the subject was exposed as a result of operational-search and (or) investigative
  measures, regardless of whether he knows about this fact, the courts refuse to apply
  the notes to Art. 291 and 2911 of the Criminal Code. According to the authors, when assessing
  the voluntariness of a person’s message about the commission of a crime, two interrelated,
  but not identical circumstances should be assessed: a volitional criterion that characterizes
  the desire and will of the subject, and an intellectual criterion that determines the person’s
  ability to be aware of what is happening to him. The article states that the communication by
  a person about a crime committed to a body that has the right to initiate a criminal case will
  be voluntary if the person does so of his own free will and believes that the authority does not
  know about his participation in the crime, even if in reality it is not so.
