Ambiguity of Legislative Approaches to Criminal Evaluation of Intoxication

This article analyzes federal laws on the basis of which intoxication is seen in the following criminal ways: aggravating circumstance (Part 1.1, Article 63 of the Criminal Code...); structural feature of a crime (Article 264.1 of the Criminal Code.); qualifying (qualifying special) sign of a crime (parts 2, 4, 6 Art. 264 of the Criminal Code). The adoption of these laws shows the ambiguity of the criminal evaluation of the state of intoxication by a legislator and questions the need for art. 23 of the Criminal Code, which, despite the innovations, reflected a neutral legislator's attitude towards the intoxication at the time of committing the crime.
