Summary/Abstract: In Russian criminal legislation, environmental crimes are criminal acts infringing on the natural environment and on various social relations for its protection and reproduction. In addition, environmental damage can be caused by violations of the safety rules for the operation of rail, air and water transport, violation of safety rules at nuclear facilities, illegal handling of radioactive materials, in some cases hooliganism, etc. There is no the legal definition of environmental crimes in the Russian Criminal Code, as in the academic researches. Environmental crimes violate the provisions of Art. 42 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation – the human right to a healthy environment, i.e. in fact, on its normal existence, as a biological species. They destroy or qualitatively deteriorate the biological basis of the humanity’s existence.
