Закон. 2018. № 10. С. 73–79.

Barysheva K.

There is a large number of opinions in criminal law science, devoted to the differences between Art. 163 and Art. 179 of Criminal Code of Russian Federation.  Court practice has not yet developed a unified position on the main criteria of difference between extortion and compulsion to make a deal despite the contradictions of corpus delicti. These factors are influence on the right classification of crimes and judicial practice. There are not much criminal cases which are connected with compulsion to make a deal, most criminal offences are classified as extortion. Although Chapter 22 of the Criminal Code is the most subject to change, the issue of improving Art. 179 has not yet been considered by the legislator.
