Comparative Analysis of Russian and International Legislative Regulation of Cyberterrorist Crimes

The purpose of this study is to study issues related to the analysis of Russian and international legislative regulation of cyberterrorist crimes. Cyberterrorism tends to develop; it is because of this that law enforcement agencies will have to rebuild their system with respect to new requirements. It will take the development of a whole system capable of ensuring an effective fight against this type of crime. The development of a digital society in the modern world and Russia, in particular, depends on how effectively law enforcement agencies will be able to resist cybercrime, what measures will be taken to prevent, disclose and investigate terrorist crimes, what regulatory legal acts will be developed to regulate this sphere of public relations. The concept of cyberterrorism is enshrined at the legislative level in the United States and Ukraine, although the problem of cyberterrorism is widespread and is relevant for most countries of the world. In the UK, the concept of terrorist acts is clearly defined and enshrined in the Terrorism Act 2000. The same law also notes such an act as "serious damage to electronic systems". There is no special composition called "cyberterrorism" in the act. The French Criminal Code has an expanded classification of crimes related to terrorist activities. This area is still open, so the criminalization of acts can expand. The Belgian legislation has a similar approach. The very concept of cyberterrorism exists, there is an understanding that this phenomenon poses a danger to the state, but the term has not been reflected in the current legislation. In the People's Republic of China (PRC), there is a generalized concept that contains the concept of cyberterrorism. In Russian practice, even if the crime was committed using digital technologies, Article 205.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Public calls to carry out terrorist activities, public justification of terrorism or propaganda of terrorism" is used. The choice of such a measure is due to the fact that communication between people is often carried out via the Internet.
