Problems of Interpreting the Concept of "Information Infrastructure" in Connection with the Inflation of the Modern Criminal Code Russian Federation

Relevance. In the context of inflation (expansion) of the current criminal law of the Russian Federation, conditions arise not only for raising the issue of updating it, but also for the problems of correct interpretation of those criminal legal provisions that in the near future will be a priority for the protection of the information domain. For a law enforcement officer, it is important to correctly interpret the definitions that define the country's information infrastructure, in the conceptual characteristics of which there is currently a certain "terminological chaos". Against the background of a multitude of normative legal acts regulating information infrastructure and an ongoing discussion about the rules for qualifying information crimes, it is necessary to develop a clear algorithm to accurately define all the elements of the concept of "information infrastructure".
The purpose of the study is to develop the optimal concept and content of the "information infrastructure" and its digital direction for the needs of theory and practice of combating crime in the developing information society of Russia.
Objectives: to analyze the current legislation and study doctrinal approaches in the field of the information society, as well as the directions of scientific discussions on the definition of the concept of "information infrastructure". Formulate a uniform understanding of this object of criminal law protection.
Methodology. In the process of working on the study, the following were used: the dialectical method of cognition of criminal law phenomena, general scientific, special and particular scientific methods of cognition, taken in unity with the instrumental methods of researching legislative and scientific provisions. For the use of scientific results in practical activity, such theoretical methods as formalization are used.
Results. Based on the analysis of normative legal acts and doctrinal definitions, problematic "points" of misunderstanding of the desired object are identified, which constitute the concept of "information infrastructure" and separate approaches to which impede the correct qualification of crimes in the computer sphere. The concept of "information infrastructure" is formulated, taking into account, first, the official points of view and optimal constructions of the desired concept.
Conclusion. In the science of criminal law in Russia, a reasoned position regarding the concept of "information infrastructure" has not been formed, as well as a uniform understanding of its main components, which complicates the theoretical development of this research area and its empirical part - the qualification of crimes, primarily in the field of computer (digital) rovoy) information in the information infrastructure. The main conclusion was made that the information infrastructure in the country and in the world is constantly expanding, its inflation occurs and this requires the simultaneous expansion of both the entire criminal law and that part of it, in which the norms on the protection of information infrastructure are focused.
