metadata.value: The development of rules of exemption from criminal liability as an important means of differentiating
  criminal-law exposure, minimizing criminal repression and humanizing penal
  relations is one of several trends of Russian criminal policy. However, its quality results in debates
  which demonstrate the number of legislative and academic proposals aimed at changing
  it. To determine the prospects of such proposals, they have to be summarized and evaluated.
  Quite often these proposals disregard the constitutional principles of exemption from liability,
  systemic principles of criminal law and its corelation with other branches of law. The essential
  issues requiring discussion when improving the regulations on exemption from criminal liability
  consist of the following: characteristics of subjects, appropriate procedural stage and
  the suitability of the conditional procedure for its application; the possibility of re-exemption
  of offenders who had benefited from it earlier; the corelation between dispositive and peremptory
  rules of exemption; differentiation of the grounds for exemption depending on the type
  of crime committed. Scholars have diverse and sometimes conflicting opinions on these issues.
  It appears that they can be holistically solved only in the process of a substantive update
  of the entire criminal law which should recognize: the absence of judicial prospects and the
  insignificance of harm as grounds for refusal to initiate criminal proceedings; the necessity to
  review the significance of positive post-criminal acts in the system of grounds for exemption
  and their recognition as conditions that, if completed within a certain period of time after release, will terminate criminal-law relations; development of a term for the implementation
  of criminal-law measures and revision of the content of legal sanctions applied upon release
  from liability; recognition of the preservation of the criminal-law status of an individual exempted
  from liability until the fulfilment of exemption conditions; possibility of a mandatory
  exemption from liability for crimes against private interests of citizens.
