Topical Issues of Liability for the Disclosure of the Secret of Adoption

Adoption has serious social and legal features and consequences, in connection with which the Russian legislator pays close attention to the legality of its implementation. One of the aspects of the protection and protection of the rights of children and the family is to ensure the secrecy of adoption (adoption), for the disclosure of which in Russia criminal liability is provided. Despite the very contradictory assessments of the practice of applying the relevant criminal law, the disclosure of the above secrets can cause significant damage to the child and his relationship with the adoptive parents, which generally discredits the positive effect of adoption. In this context, many questions arise, objectively due to individual gaps and contradictions in the regulatory provisions of Art. 155 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which provides for liability for the above crime. The purpose of the research is to analyze topical issues of prosecution for divulging the secrets of adoption. The author comes to the conclusion that for the Russian reality, the regulation of criminal liability for the disclosure of the above information is extremely necessary due to the risk of the spread of illegal behavior in this area, especially from persons who have access to information about adoption (adoption) in the framework of official and other professional activities. Attention is focused on the need to improve the current criminal law in order to increase the efficiency of its application. The author's proposals are formulated to identify general and qualified corpus delicti in order to take into account the varying degrees of social danger of acts carried out by a special subject of illegal activity and other persons, provided that they have deep motives.
