Abstract
In this article, the authors raise the issue of the criminal law assessment of an attack on the life of a state or public figure. The design of the elements of the offence provided for in article 277 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is being analyzed. In the course of the legal analysis of the legal assessment of the above-mentioned socially dangerous act, it is emphasized that the main problem in the classification of this crime is the lack of normative enshrinement of the definitions of the terms «statesman», and «public figure», which makes the range of potential losses on this criminal act vague, in connection with which, the author’s proposal to supplement the said article of the Code with a note of the relevant content has been put forward.
