Abstract

The article is devoted to the issue of causing harm to pharmaceutical activity as an object of criminal law protection. As the author notes, the current legislation regulating the procedure for pharmaceutical activity contains certain guidelines for determining harm to the specified social values or its individual fragments. In the opinion of the author, characterizing the formation of harm "within" pharmaceutical activity as an object of criminal law protection and its consideration in the composition of criminal offenses, it is necessary to determine the types of actions that affect pharmaceutical activity and lead to its violation – formation in it or in certain types of damage to its individual "components". The author consistently proves that the aspects of influence on pharmaceutical activity, which give the committed act the properties of public danger, should be associated with various indicators of damage caused to pharmaceutical activity as an independent object of criminal law protection.
