Annotation: Criminal and legal assessment of instigators who induce other co-conspirators of a socially dangerous act to commit a crime under Article 214 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation often causes difficulties for law enforce- ment subjects. For this reason in the activities of law enforcement agencies there are errors in the form of insufficient or incorrect qualification of unlawful acts. Based on the study of 155 criminal cases, the authors have identified the main methods of incitement: bribery (57% of cases), persuasion (39%), as well as rare cases of blackmail, deceit and offers (4%). The authors pay special attention to the ways in which property owners or representatives of legal entities use incitement to obtain insurance payments, as well as the involvement of minors in the commission of vandalism. Judicial and law enforcement practice, as well as scientific literature containing the rules of qualification of crimes in the presence of an instigator are analyzed. The result of the conducted research is the proposals on application of the provisions of the current criminal law. In the text of the article, the Russian Federation is abbreviated as RF.
