Abstract

The article examines the evolution of legislation concerning the death penalty in the Russian Federation since the adoption of the current Constitution and the introduction of a moratorium on it, as well as the determining role of the Constitutional Court in resolving this issue. Within the framework of this work, the conditions for the application of the death penalty and the cases listed by criminal law when the death penalty cannot be applied are considered. The paper analyzes gender inequality in the use of the death penalty, its legal basis and causes, and examines the arguments of both supporters of gender inequality and its opponents. The problems related to the application of limitation periods within the framework of current legislation are highlighted and considered. A study is being conducted on the mandatory requirement for the organization of trials with the participation of jurors for the application of the death penalty, which determines their causes, characteristics and uniqueness in our country. Much attention is paid to the analysis of arguments presented by opponents and supporters of the death penalty.
