Formulation of Legal Definitions (as exemplified by the RF anti-corruption legislation)

The article examines some mistakes in defining legal concepts as exemplified by anti-corruption legislation of the RF. In particular, the legal notions of "corruption" and "conflict of interests" are subjected to critical scientific analysis. The formation of Russian legal concepts is being analyzed in the light of interbranch connections of the Russian system of law and their compliance with the norms of international law. The authors illustrate such errors of definition as excessiveness of legal terms, ambiguity and inaccuracy of legal language, the use of equal content (synonymy) of concepts, inconsistencies in the scope of the notion and its content, tautology and inadequacy of legal definitions. Domestic legislation analysis (its retrospectives and modern condition) led to the conclusion that "technically" Russian legal field could well be adapted to the perception of international law norms and best practices of foreign legislation concerning the most effective means of combating corruption.
